Election Doldrums??

What a great time to BUY. In the hottest market which has been anything priced below $600,000 the activity has definitely cooled. Instead of dealing with multiple offers, buyers can find that they might be the only offer on the table in many areas.Try to not get to carried away though. Sellers are only willing to discount the #askingprice between 3%-5%.Check out my cloud streams to view listings today. Don't worry you won't be hacked by #yourrealtor.

Cheapest Condos in Dana Point and Laguna Niguel

For the first time I'm looking forward to Halloween more so than the presidential election. I just wish Pence was at the top of the ticket. I'm not a fan of the way the Republican candidate has treated women nor they way he goes about getting attention. It does show he can delegate better than the opponent. Along with great political advisement here at my office, today I will provide some of the most affordable beach living condos on the market today. It's not always best to buy the cheapest, but if you want a beach shack bargain and are looking for a NATURAL high constantly by being near the ocean we should connect in the near future. Some of my other favorite ways to get high is to eat chocolate(my wife's favorite), go to the gym, or just have a laugh. :)

Real Estate Myths

As I think a lot clearer at this +Starbucks Coffee in this fresher air of Portland, Oregon. I unfortunately had to unfollow +MarketWatch this week after their terrible comments about "marriage going out of fashion". Their relationship status must be "It's complicated."  I'm sure they were trying to get more publicity on their +Facebook page. It made me steam for a bit and then I realized that I shouldn't believe everything I see on the Internet. DUH!!! As skeptical as I can be, I can also be vulnerable to believing what I read. When one door closes the other one opens so I followed the DogLoversClubUSA. This was definetly a new level of dog loving for me.


Since Marketwatch tried creating a myth I am going to give you my updated list of Real Estate Myths:


1) I don't have to be in your area to sell your house. I understand the market and put a lot of research and anaylsis into pricing your home. Anyone who tells you they are an area specialist means they have sold in your area, but it doesn't mean they are fit to sell your home.


2) Zillow's zestimates are very inaccurate. Their data is usually very unreliable as well. If you want to know what's trustworthy, send me a private message and I will give you a FREE compartive market analysis .


3) If your selling in this market and an agent tells you they can get the same price as a comparable that has multiple upgrades in the neighborhood. WRONG! If you think some repairs need to be done, we should fix them before we go on the market.




Til next time. Thanks for listening. Cheers to the unfashionables who are married, life partners, its complicated, divorced, and/or single. Hope I didn't miss anyone.

Tim Duncan #GOAT

This guy was like an awesome ‪#‎realestate‬ ‪#‎investment‬. Paid dividends quickly. Hold onto him for life. Thought you'd play forever.‪#‎thebigfundamental‬ ‪#‎timmy‬ you probably won't see another guy play for the same coach for his whole 19 year career. There would be more like him if kids stayed for 4 years of college. Will miss watching his ‪#‎brand‬ of basketball.

OC Housing Market

http://m.homesnap.com/news/2016-07-01/article/orange-county-real-estate-market-sees-price-cuts-high/562

Do you think there is a #OChousingbubble? I think a majority of people think there is mainly because they can't afford a #home especially here in #OrangeCounty. Some people think we are in a worse situation than 2008. The #truth is that prices have gone higher in certain areas due to the federal reserve pumping even more money into the system.  Statistics show that there are 6900 homes on the market here in OC. Just in the last few weeks we have gone from 6000 to 6900 homes on the market. Quite an alarming statistic if you are following the market and hunting for a bargain for the most precious asset you will #invest in your whole life. In 2007 we had 8000 homes and in 2008 we had 11,000 homes on the market. Should I keep going? I’ll let you decide, but we are heading towards a peak. Be Prepared. For buyers, the good news is that interest rates are at historic lows so the money you borrow is almost #FREE. No reason to sit on the sidelines since any decline will be met with higher interest rates. Attention for all #Sellers, if you have home equity up to $500k, it might be a good time to cash out tax free in the next 12 months. Contact me now if you’re interested.
