IT’S A SMALL WORLD IN COSTA MESA CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE!

IT’S A SMALL WORLD IN COSTA MESA CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE!

If you're anticipating selling your smaller-than-average home, do not despair, because the days of the overly sized and overly priced McMansions are shrinking in the rearview mirror!  Buyers these days are looking for ways to save money on utilities and taxes, as well as save time on yard work and maintenance. 

Your smaller property offers benefits to first-time buyers and those with an eye towards conservation.  Be sure to highlight your lower utility costs, and if your home sits on a small lot, research property taxes on larger lots in the neighborhood and show how much money buyers can save with yours. 

People who are downsizing or buying for the first time want easy maintenance, so you should absolutely list any new appliances or systems you've installed, like heating and/or air, and Energy Star refrigerators, water heaters, and the like.  First time buyers are usually accustomed to the landlord fixing any problems, so new appliances still under warranty are very attractive to that segment. 

Buyers who are downsizing will be rethinking their space, so make sure you make your rooms look larger and show off your storage space.  Cut the clutter, remove some furniture, and let in the light! 

If you live within walking distance to shopping and activities, have your agent promote that, and emphasize that location and function offset your home's smaller size.

Send Your Kids A Personalized Video From Santa Claus for FREE!

Send Your Kids A Personalized Video From Santa Claus for FREE!

This is an amazing internet web site to share with your children and business friends, spread the holiday cheer and send them a video from Santa Free of charge!

I remember when I was 7 years old......
Creeping down the stairs......
Hoping to see a pile of goodies left under the tree for me......
Excitement building upon seeing the plate of half-eaten cookies and an empty glass of milk......

And there it was!!

A letter from Santa!!! TO ME!!!! 

I will never forget that level of pure unbridled joy and I love seeing that same level of happiness in my children thru the years at this time of year. Glassy eyes filled with wonder and glee at every store window...every light hung in the trees.

So, being the internet techie that I am....I sent my son a personalized video from Santa!! (Yes, I am that cool)

Oh. My. God! You would think the Heavens had split and the Glory of all that is Holy had poured right down his throat to the point of drowning him in rapture. He went NUTS!

Figured since it worked so well on him, Id share it with you guys. (Not to mention the fact that it was just fun as can be for me...LOL!)

PREVENTING INSPECTION DELAYS IN COSTA MESA CALIFORNIA!

PREVENTING INSPECTION DELAYS IN COSTA MESA CALIFORNIA!

 

 

No matter how much you prepare, closings just seem to take longer these days, often up to sixty days from the date of the initial offer.  A recent survey of REALTORS® reveals that ten to fourteen percent of pending sales don't get to closing, while another twenty percent experience unplanned delays before being finalized.

 

Delays fall into three major categories: financing, title research, and inspections.  Getting estimates and negotiating repairs can really hold up a transaction, but there are ways to speed up the process.

 

One option is for sellers to procure a pre-listing inspection and make repairs before the first potential buyer sets foot in the home.  However, this can be a costly expense for sellers, especially when buyers will almost certainly hire their own inspector after making an offer, and there can often be great differences between two inspection reports.

 

A better alternative is for the listing agent to walk through the home with the sellers, noting the age and the condition of major components of the home and securing estimates for potential repairs.  Sellers may not have to fix the problems, but having an idea of the cost of repairs will help them price the home fairly, as well as reduce the time necessary for buyers to negotiate the costs.  This is an excellent preventative and proactive step towards a successful closing.

A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO FORECLOSURE IN COSTA MESA CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE

A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO FORCLOSURE IN COSTA MESA CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE!

 

 

Due to recent government incentives, short sales are becoming the darling of the distressed-property marketplace.  A short sale keeps owners out of foreclosure, because the lenders allow the homeowners to sell their house for less than they owe.

 

Banks have really sped up the process, hiring large numbers to serve the short sale specialty.  In early 2010, one of the very largest banks had more than doubled the number of short sales it approved, sometimes as quickly as 24 days.  Compare that to last year, when short sales stalled indefinitely or took more than six months to complete.

 

The biggest roadblock to approval was often a second mortgage held by the seller.  Since the primary lender must be paid first, the second lien holder could be left with nothing, and they would basically kill the sale.  But now the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program provides money to primary lenders who share the proceeds with the second lien holders.  HAFA also provides up to $6,000 to those secondary lenders if they release their claim. 

 

Short sales keep borrowers out of foreclosure and reduce the impact on their credit.  While foreclosure can shave 200 points off your score, the penalty for a short sale is only half of that.  Hopefully, a boom in short sales will also bring us closer to ending the ongoing foreclosure crisis.
