First offer in.

Got word from escrow earlier this afternoon that the transaction closed today. The final sales price for the home was $1,780,000 or $30,000 over the list price. Congrats to both the buyer and seller. We did initially have the home in escrow at $1,800,000 with another buyer but their lost...

Earlier this afternoon I listed a highly upgraded view lot detached residence located in Lake Forest @ Baker Ranch on MLS. The home was built in 2015 by Shea Homes and features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a private wraparound lot with 1,712sf of living space on a 3,142sf lot. The home is on...

Got word from escrow just now that the transaction closed this afternoon. The final sales price was $700,000 or $32,000 above the list price. Congrats to both the buyer and seller. (y)

I've always been good identifying problems and then trying to solve them because my clients always come first. Since Covid it has been almost impossible for contingent buyers to purchase homes so the 2 above options is what I came up with to solve the problem of my contingent buyers. Now that...

Great question IHO. No, thankfully I've never had any issues with the clients that I've done this far. They would get a loan pre-approval from one of my lenders before we would start the process so that way I knew they were good to go. That being said, if they experienced a job loss or other...

Background: In mid-2020, the Orange County real estate market had become more and more competitive. Lower inventory levels resulted in contingent buyers getting shut out of purchasing their new homes. You may ask, what is a contingent buyer? A contingent buyer is someone who is resting on or is...

You'll need to be in the $1.5m+ if you want t buy an older small single story home in Irvine. The prices for those types of homes are now selling over $1,000/sf (I sold 5 Williams last month fr $1.55m r right around $1,030/sf).

It was an absolute pleasure with you both on both transactions. I'd be lying if I didn't say that I was a little nervous stepping outside of SoCal to list a NorCal home but my broker got me in contact with the broker up in the South San Jose office who helped me to list the home for sale and...

Yes that's because it's a single story home. Single story home on average sell for about 20% more than two story homes of similar size and location.

The home was purchased by the seller from Lennar in 2016 for $1,220,000.

Irvine prices did decrease about 9% from May 2022 to the end of 2022. Then in 2023 prices started rising and that happen around the same time that China lifted their covid zero policy.

The buyer was a financed buyer who had a lease that wasn't expiring until the end of July so their offer had a 45-day closing and their offer was materially higher than the back-up offer who had a 30-day closing.

I am seeing it more and more in Orange County.

Great question. It depends on the listing agent but I only take the pictures down if either the buyer or seller asks me to take the pictures down. In the case of Williams, the buyer agent asked me if I could take the pictures down before I change the listing to Closed status on MLS because...

That yard is so small, can you even put a patio outside? What good is a view lot if you can't even enjoy it being outside because of the tiny yard.

Got word from escrow that the transaction closed this afternoon. The final sales price was $1,550,000 or $60,000 above the list price. Congrats to both the buyer and seller.

Ahhh below market rents....makes sense now.

I would highly recommend not buying a 1-bedroom condo as those are hard to sell, try to buy a 2 or 3 bedroom condo.
