OPEN THEIR EYES- SIZE DOES MATTER IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA
OPEN THEIR EYES- SIZE DOES MATTER IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA
You know what? Size does matter! You want buyers to soak up every square foot of your home, visualizing how their belongings will fit in. Follow these recommendations to maximize the space they perceive, particularly if you are selling a smaller home.
Furniture makes the most direct impact on the living space, so scale down the size of your furnishings, or even better, remove a few larger pieces and rearrange what remains. Large furnishings can make a room feel cramped, so open it up.
Avoid busy fabric patterns, which can also make a room “feel” smaller. Use texture in fabrics to add interest, and if necessary, buy slipcovers for patterned chairs or sofas that you love or can’t remove.
After furniture, the next biggest impact is your walls. Since dark colors absorb light and make even large rooms look smaller, invest in some light paint (think creams, light blues or greens, soft yellows) to open your room’s space.
Another great “trick” is to simply hang some mirrors. Mirrors do double duty in expanding the space. Seeing a reflection of the room gives the impression of more space in “another” room, while mirrors also reflect light, and a brighter room feels like a bigger room.
These are simple suggestions to implement, and a real estate professional will have even more advice for creating an appealing interior.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE
In spite of the real estate roller coaster of the last few years, homeownership remains the bedrock of financial and familial security. Having a long-term investment that provides the satisfaction and pride of ownership beats just about anything else you can do with your savings.
When the market exploded several years ago, the expectations of many consumers grew too high, too fast. Homes became more commodities than investments, and now markets and attitudes have been forced to realign.
Conditions today make it an opportune time to secure your future. Home prices and interest rates are still low, and tax advantages are abundant. You just have to get past all the negativity in the media. All the bad news has drained consumer confidence, and frankly, you cannot underestimate the effect of intangibles like confidence and expectation on the real estate industry.
Real estate transactions are unlike any other financial transaction. The demand and desire for homeownership doesn’t expire like other flashy investment instruments. The inherent value of a stock can be calculated by a formula of company profits, earnings ratios, performance history, fund managers, and so on.
However, a home’s value is ultimately determined by what a buyer is willing to pay for it, and the security and well-being that owning your own home provides. Honestly, there’s hardly been a better time to make your move.

Real Estate Closing Costs, How Much Do I Need?
It's a good idea to factor in the closing costs when buying a home, so you can properly plan and manage your finances. In most cases you can expect to pay 2-5% of the purchase price in closing costs, not including the down payment.
Closing costs can include the following:
- Down Payments can vary, most are in the range of 5% -20% of the purchase price depending on your qualifications and loan choice
- Earnest Money Deposit is the money put down when a contract is written and usually it goes into an escrow account. If the property closes this money generally goes toward your closing costs but can be non-refundable after a certain period if the buyer backs out of the purchase.
- Lender fees include charges for loan processing, underwriting and preparation
- Third-party fees include charges for insurance, title insurance, title search, appraisal fees and other inspections such as termite
- Government fees include deed recording and state mortgage taxes
- Escrow and interest fees include homeowner's insurance, loan interest, Real Estate taxes, home warranties, prepaid interest and occasionally private mortgage insurance,
- Property taxes
Please do not hesitate to contact us when you are ready to take the next step or if you have any questions. We look forward to assisting you.

Pet Proposals, When Selling Your Home...
Pet Proposals, When Selling Your Home...
Did you realize that 6 out of 10 U.S. households have pets? That means that those without critter companions are in the minority, but if you’re a pet owner selling your home, you shouldn't ignore the perceptions of those families that don't include cats or dogs. Odors are the biggest issue. This isn't to say that your housekeeping is remiss, but remember that some buyers who visit your home may experience allergies or be particularly sensitive to pet dander or odors. Just vacuum the floors and furniture frequently and use an air sanitizer. During the early stages of your listing, you'll likely experience more frequent showings and visits by buyers. This is a particularly good time to make arrangements to board your pet, or seek out a good "doggie day care" center for quick visits during showings. This may be safer and less stressful for your pet than a constant parade of strangers in your home, and may put buyers more at ease as well. In any case, be sure to pick up toys, bowls, and bedding in advance of a showing, just as you would tidy up the children's things and other rooms throughout the house before buyers visit. A particularly attractive gesture would be to offer a cleaning allowance, no matter how scrupulously you maintain your home. This should quiet any potential objections.

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, WHEN IT COMES TO REAL ESTATE IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA!
LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, WHEN IT COMES TO REAL ESTATE IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA!
Most of us don't have the resources - or the guts - to own stocks in really large quantities. That’s what makes your home such great "risk capital." It's not the stock market, and you shouldn't look at buying a home as a way to get rich, but if the economy picks up, real estate values will eventually follow. Building equity in your home is like linking your investment portfolio to the growth of the economy - without the sleepless nights.
Plus, it's like forced savings for you and your family. Maybe you could rent a condo for $1,800 per month instead of buy one for $2,200, but would you really "save" that $400 a month for the future? The part of your mortgage payment that goes toward principle is like paying yourself back in equity - instead of burning that money on rent.
And the interest you're paying on your loan, along with your property taxes, is tax deductible and probably enough to allow you to itemize tons of other deductions from your income as well. For many people, just these tax breaks alone make owning cost less than renting.
Usually, you can buy a much better home than you can rent, and with high inventories and low interest rates, now is the time to contact an agent and start saving for the future, today.
