BUY, SELL, WIN, WIN IN COSTA MESA REAL ESTATE!
Buyers, sellers, the time for hesitation is over for both of you. Home sales are rising, inventories are shrinking, and even though home values fell dramatically in the last few years, the good news is that houses are now more affordable than they have been at any time during the last twenty years.
If you are buying, now is the time to make your move, literally. As the market recovers, the scales are still tipped in your favor. There are still many "distressed properties" (foreclosures and short sales) on the market, and other homeowners are entering the selling field as improving conditions increase their confidence.
You can still expect competition for lower end, entry-level homes, but demand is softer in the middle to upper end property market, so you could be in a stronger bargaining position in those two tiers.
If you're a seller, don't be alarmed by the good news for buyers. Buyer confidence and strength makes it more likely that you'll enjoy a sale. Don't try to compete against short sales and foreclosures when you're pricing, though, because that's a tough game to win.
Just complete any needed repairs, get your home into great showing condition, and emphasize your home's strengths and features. We're in an interesting transitional phase where both buyers and sellers can be winners with the right attitude and representation.

BENEFITS ON BOTH SIDES FOR SHORT SALES IN ORANGE COUNTY REAL ESTATE!
There are new rules regarding short sales meant to improve the experience for both sellers and buyers, but the legalities and legwork can overwhelm even the most savvy. Of course, that's where the real estate agent shines, handling the paperwork and the phone calls, leaving you to focus on your move.
Keep in mind that if you're expecting to buy a home on short sale, you can get a great deal, but don't expect miracles from a bank that has agreed to accept a price lower than what the sellers owe on their mortgage. These short sales often generate multiple offers, and if a home has been approved to sell for $200,000, don't expect to waltz in and offer $125,000.
The real advantage of a short sale deal is that the home will likely be in much better physical condition than its foreclosure counterpart. Often, a foreclosed home will have been abandoned for months, and perhaps trashed before being vacated. A short sale property in better condition is in and of itself a benefit with real value that offsets any lower price you could offer on a foreclosure.
And for sellers, a short sale preserves your dignity, reduces some of the stress, and won't damage your credit history as much as a foreclosure. Whether selling or buying, consult an agent for the best results.

Property Taxes Due for Orange County Residents
2nd Half Property Taxes are generally due by April 10th. However, because the tenth is on Sunday this year, taxes must be paid by Monday, April 11th to avoid delinquency charges and penalties. The payment must be postmarked by the 11th; or if paid by some other method, must be received by the Tax Collector by the close of business on the 11th.
If You Have a Property in Escrow - Coordinate with your escrow officer for the payment of taxes. If the seller sends a check to the county, it may take several weeks before the taxes show as paid. Also, because of the danger of stopped payment or returned checks, the title company may require proof of payment in the form of a cancelled check. Without that proof of payment, the title company may choose to withhold funds until payments can be verified or to pay the taxes again. In the later case, it may take several months for the seller to get a refund on the double-paid taxes.
Income Tax Deadline
As if property taxes weren't enough, remember that Federal and State Income Taxes are due on April 15th - that's next Friday. Don't you just love this time of year.
