Welcome back, everyone! Today's topic is interest rates, which have become a very hot topic in our area. People want to know if and when they are rising, and what they can expect by the end of 2015. A lot of people in real estate are expecting rates to rise, so let's take a look at the numbers and determine if that's the case.
We finished 2014 with an average interest rate of 3.75% for 30-year fixed mortgages, which is very close to the historic low. Right now, rates are in the low 4%'s, but both the Mortgage Broker's Association and the National Association of Realtors are projecting rates to rise above 5% by the end of the year.
If interest rates do jump to over 5%, it really will be a modest hike compared to the historical averages for interest rates. Back in the early 2000's, rates were in the 6-7% range. In the 90's, rates were in the 8-9% range. And all the way back in the 1980's? Rates were in the 13-17% range!
By all accounts, 5% rates are still historically low. You may be pleasantly surprised about what you can afford right now compared to what you could have afforded in the past.
If you can afford it, it makes sense to buy a home right now. Rates are still low, but you can't plan your purchase around interest rates. You've got to do it when it's right for your family. We will help you find your dream home just like we've done for home buyers over the last 15 years.
If you know somebody who is looking to buy, sell, or invest in the real estate world, give me a call or send me an email. Also, please share this video on Facebook! We look forward to speaking with you soon!

A Quick Mid-Year Market Update for 2018

منذ 7 years

—

Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2018? With that being the case, it’s time for a mid-year real estate market update. Looking to buy a home? Check out our free home search Looking to sell a home? Check out our free home value report The local housing market is like a big game of tug of war between buyers and sellers. Sellers have been controlling the market since 2012 with multiple offers and buyers tripping over themselves to be the winning bidder. As a result, prices have accelerated and reached record levels. However, there is change in the air, and now buyers are beginning to pull back. In the tug of war, sellers are still “winning,” but not if they overprice their homes. Home sellers are no longer getting away with arbitrarily stretching their asking prices. You know what I’m talking about and I’m sure you’ve seen it before. Today’s buyers are approaching housing a bit differently than they did from 2012 through 2017. They are much more cautious these days. The biggest culprits of this caution are interest rates and values. Values have increased significantly. The median sales price was up nearly 6% from April 2017 to April 2018. This follows six solid years of home price appreciation. It may still be a seller’s market, but buyers are starting to pull back. At the end of May 2017, interest rates were in the mid to high 3% range. Meanwhile, today we are in the high 4% range with talks of the Federal Reserve increasing them to the low 5% range. With higher values and higher mortgage rates, today’s buyers still want to buy; but, they are getting to the point that they just do not want to pay much more than the most recent relevant sale. Buyers are approaching housing very carefully and home sellers are wondering what happened to the hot seller’s market that everybody has been talking about for years. Home sellers who are not priced extremely close to their fair market values or do not have a unique selling proposal are not finding success. One of the major indicators that overpricing is spreading can be found in the number of price reductions. Right now, 12% of the active inventory is reducing their asking price every single week. The bottom line is clear: It may still be a seller’s market, but home sellers must carefully price their homes in order to be successful in this evolving market. In the tug of war between buyers and sellers, buyers are starting to pull back. If you’d like to know how this information could impact your home sale or your home search or if you just have any questions, give me a call or send me an email today. I’d love to help.…

5 Things You Should Never Say to a Buyer During Your Home Sale

منذ 8 years

—

There are five things you must never say out loud to a prospective buyer while your home is on the market. Looking to buy a home? Check out our free home search Looking to sell a home? Check out our free home value report You know the expression “Loose lips sink ships?” Well, that saying holds true for the real estate world too. If you’re selling your home, there are certain things you must disclose to a buyer, such as whether your home has lead paint, there has been a death on the property in the recent past, the home is located near a busy street, etc. However, there is plenty more information you might volunteer that you’d be much better off keeping your mouth strategically shut about. The same goes for the Realtor representing you. To help hone in on your “less is more” attitude when it comes to talking to prospective buyers or their agents, here are five things you should never utter (in no order of importance): 1. “Our house is in perfect condition.” Of course it is. Your home is your castle, and in your eyes it may seem perfect, but don’t make claims that aren’t true. The home inspection might reveal otherwise, and you don’t want to wind up putting your foot in your mouth. There is no such thing as a perfect condition when it comes to a home. Every home—whether it’s brand new or a resale—has something that could be fixed, adjusted, replaced, or improved upon. There is no such thing as a perfect condition when it comes to a home. 2. “It’s been on the market ___ days.” Never ever discuss how long your home has been on the market with a prospective buyer or their agent. This information is already provided on the MLS or the home’s information sheet, and bringing it up—especially if the home’s been on the market for a while—can send the wrong message. No one wants to buy the white elephant of the neighborhood. If they do, it’s probably because they think they can get it dirt cheap. 3. “We’ve always wanted to fix or renovate that, but…” Mum’s the word when it comes to fixes you intended to address. This only alerts the buyer of more upcoming costs for them, and they may not even want to take on a bathroom or kitchen renovation. Why plant those extra dollar signs in their head? 4. “We spent a ton of money on (the patio/kitchen/etc).” Just because you love the Brazilian cherrywood flooring you installed on the first floor doesn’t mean prospective buyers will be willing to shell out for that. The buyer doesn’t care whether you spent $10,000 or $100,000 on your kitchen—they’ll only offer what they think the home is worth in relation to the area comparables. You would do the same thing. Save your breath, or else you’ll sound like you’re trying to justify your price, and nobody wants to hear that. 5. “I’m not taking less than ___ for my home.” I understand that you want to sell for top dollar, but it’s important to be realistic and open to offers within a reasonable range—something that’s fair to you and you would be happy with. If you send a message right out of the gate that you’re inflexible or not open to negotiation, it doesn’t invite buyers to even try to work out an acceptable price and terms with you. They may feel defeated from the very start and word might spread about your sentiment as a seller. This can cause people to avoid your house altogether. If you have any questions or need to sell your home, don’t hesitate to give me a call. I’d be happy to help you.…

With Rates on the Rise, Can You Keep Waiting to Buy?

منذ 8 years

—

Mortgage interest rates are on the rise, so should you stop waiting to buy a home? Our preferred lender joins us today to explain this topic. Looking to buy a home? Check out our free home search Looking to sell a home? Check out our free home value report With mortgage rates on the rise, should you wait to buy a home? I've brought in our preferred lender Lauren Williams with Vision One Mortgage to help me discuss this topic. Rates have gone up over the last several weeks. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and the National Association of Realtors all agree rates will continue to go up over the next four quarters, too. Because of this, some buyers regret the fact that they might not be able to get an interest rate of less than 4% on a mortgage. However, you must realize that current interest rates are still at historic lows. Back in the 1970s, interest rates averaged 8.86%, and in the 1980s, the average was as high as 12.7%. Current interest rates are still at historic lows. The bottom line is that although you may have missed getting the lowest mortgage rates ever offered, you can still get a better rate than your older sibling did 10 years ago, your parents 20 years ago, and your grandparents 40 years ago if you buy a home or refinance your mortgage now. If you're interested in buying a home or refinancing your mortgage, don't wait to get in touch with Lauren at 714.625.0130 or at lauren.theloanofficer@gmail.com . If you have any other questions for me or you're thinking about selling your home in LA and Orange County, give me a call or send me an email. We look forward to hearing from you!…

Are You Ready for the Spring Market?

منذ 8 years

—

When does the spring market start? According to the calendar, it should be March; however, the spring real estate market kicks off much sooner than that. Looking to buy a home? Check out our free home search Looking to sell a home? Check out our free home value report When does the spring market start? Officially, according to the calendar, the spring market starts in March. However, in real estate, the spring market starts in January. Immediately after the new year we have a whole new set of buyers coming into the marketplace. Then, after the Super Bowl in early February, the spring market will continue to pick up speed, sometimes all the way through the end of June. As we begin the new year, families across the country will be deciding if this is the year they sell their current house and move into their dream home. Many people think that they should wait until March to list their home, which made sense in the past. However, this winter is not like recent years. The spring market starts right after New Year’s. Thanks to recent increases in mortgage rates, buyers have been forced off of the fence and into the marketplace. At the same time, inventory levels of homes for sale have dropped dramatically compared to this year. So, right now there is incredibly high demand from buyers and low competition for home sellers, making now a great time to put your home on the market. The bottom line is that the spring market has already begun. If you have any questions about the market or about listing your home, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you !…

4 Demands to Make to Your Real Estate Agent

منذ 8 years

—

To distinguish between average real estate agents and great ones, you should make sure they can accommodate these four demands. Looking to buy a home? Check out our free home search Looking to sell a home? Check out our free home value report Are you thinking about buying a home but dreading the challenges that come with the process? If you’re concerned about the unanswered questions surrounding what kind of house you can afford, how to schedule showings, and making sure that the paperwork is done right, I have a solution for you. Hiring a real estate professional can take away most of the challenges involved in the home buying process. Like a great doctor or great accountant, a great real estate agent is always worth more than the commission that they charge. Here is the best part: when buying a home, you don’t even pay the agent; you only pay for the loan officer who is getting your loan. I think that this is the reason that we hear more horror stories about buying a home than we do triumphant ones. A great real estate agent is always worth more than the commission they charge. If you want to lock down one of the best agents in your market, you must be able to distinguish an average agent from a great agent. According to many studies, an average agent sells just one to two homes per year. Great agents like us sell more than 50 homes every year. The agent you work with matters every single time. Here are the four demands you should make of your real estate agent when deciding which one to hire : Tell the truth about the price. When making an offer on the home you want to buy, make sure that your agent walks you through the entire plan for getting your offer accepted. Too many agents just take the offer that you suggest and then try to work both you and the seller in negotiating phases later. In a competitive market, you need an agent who is going to help you make the best initial offer so that you stand out from the crowd. In today’s market, every house must be sold twice: once to you and once to your bank. If your agent doesn’t discuss this with you at the time of the original offer, this should raise a red flag. Understand the time table that you and your family are dealing with. You’ll be moving yourself and your family into a new home. Whether the move revolves around the start of a new school year or a new job relocation, balancing the move and your life can be very emotionally draining. Demand that your agent appreciates the timetables you’re setting. Your agent cannot pick the exact time for your move, but they should exert any influence they can to make sure it all works out for you and your family. Remove as many challenges as possible for you. It’s imperative that your agent knows how to handle the challenges that will arise in the transaction, and, more importantly, set the right expectations for you so that you’re prepared for them in advance. An agent’s ability to negotiate is critical in this market. Remember, if you have a weak agent who’s negotiating with you on parts of the purchase offer, don’t expect them to turn into a superhero when they’re negotiating with the seller. Find the right house for you. There is a reason that you’re putting yourself and your family through this arduous moving process. You’re moving on with your life for the better in most cases. The reason for moving is important, or you wouldn’t be dealing with all the headaches and challenges that come with buying and moving. Do not allow your agent to forget these motivations. Make sure that they keep you and your family’s real estate goals at the top of their list of priorities. If they discover that something needs to be done in order to obtain your real estate goals, insist they have the courage to inform you about it. Good agents know how to deliver good news; great agents know how to deliver tough news but get you fantastic results. In today’s market, you need a great agent! If you have any other questions about buying or selling real estate in the Orange or LA County area, give me a call or send me an email. I’d love to help you !…

11 Reasons the Holidays Are a Great Time to Sell

منذ 8 years

—

Contrary to popular belief, the holiday season is a great time to sell your home. There are a full 11 reasons as to why this is. Looking to buy a home? Check out our free home search Looking to sell a home? Check out our free home value report I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for Halloween. It puts me in the holiday spirit! When it comes to real estate, though, the holiday spirit takes on a different meaning. A lot of people thinking about selling their home either to put the pedal to the metal to move forward or pump the brakes so they can enjoy the season. This is because the natural thought is that homes don’t sell during the holidays. Here’s the thing, though: that couldn’t be further from the truth. Right now is a fantastic time to sell your home. How fantastic? My team and I have come together and provided a list of 11 reasons why you should take advantage of the holiday market: People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from. Less competition means more money for you. Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home if you list then. Houses show better when they’re decorated for the holidays. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price. Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than they do during a regular work week. Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons. January is traditionally a month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees can’t wait until spring to buy, you must be on the market now to capture that group. You can still be on the market, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days during the holidays. You can sell now for more money and we’ll provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until the following year if necessary. Selling now gives you an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the springtime when there will be more houses on the market for less money. This will allow you to sell high and buy low. Right now is a fantastic time to sell your home. If you don’t absolutely need to, feel free to stay put, take your home off the market, and enjoy the holidays. I know I will. However, there are some great benefits to selling now that you won’t get during the rest of the year. If you have questions about your home or putting it up for sale during the holidays months, let’s talk. Give me a call or send me an email so we can figure out how we can get the highest price for your home. I look forward to hearing from you !…

Your Latest Real Estate Market Update

منذ 8 years

—

The wonderful world of real estate tends to run in cycles. Our market is shifting right now, so there are a few market trends that you need to be aware of. As we all know, the wonderful world of real estate runs in cycles. There are times when the market is up, times when the market is down, and in-between times when the market seems flat. For those of us who have been through multiple upswings and downturns over the years, the worst downturn we’ve seen lasted from 2006 to mid-2011. If you look at most cycles in real estate, we typically have four or five years of a really good market and then 12 to 36 months of an adjustment or downswing before starting that upward cycle again. Since the recovery from the Great Recession began in mid-2011, it would only be natural for us to hit the next real estate cycle soon because it has been about five years since our last major downturn. So, what are the signs of a market adjustment? Typically we will see increased inventory, more days on market, and frequent price reductions. This is exactly what we have seen over the last 10 months, and the market continues to adjust today. What is causing the adjustment? As mentioned, we have had the five-year recovery period already, and it is time for the market to adjust. We are also experiencing enormous uncertainty in the stock market in the wake of Brexit; this causes people to slow down when it comes to purchasing a home, as some may not have enough money for a down payment. The uncertainty also slows down the market in the upper price points. At the same time, we are in an election year. Election years cause economic concern and slow down the real estate market. Unfortunately, there have also been both national and international acts of terrorism, which further breed fear, uncertainty, and caution in our market. Overall, the real estate market is doing great. That said, it’s not all doom and gloom. The market isn’t going down anytime soon. My team and I cover 25 different cities in three major counties, and we are on track to help more than 60 families buy or sell a home anywhere from $400,000 to $2.5 million. In short, I have a direct pulse on what’s taking place in our market. The good news is that homes are still selling and buyers are still taking advantage of the historically low interest rates, which means demand remains strong. We are starting to see the market slow down in the higher price points of any market. In some cases, the top end of each market is starting to show signs of a buyer’s market. However, in the bottom three-quarters of the market, we are still experiencing a seller’s market. It’s not that insane seller’s market where there were 10 or 15 offers per property, though. Instead, the remaining three-quarters of the market is fairly healthy. Overall, the real estate market is doing great. I would just say that you need to expect a little more volatility throughout the year. If you want more details about the market in your city or if you have any other questions, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!…

Why Paying Less Commission Will Cost You More Money

منذ 9 years

—

Buying an Orange or LA County Home ? Search all Homes for Sale Selling an Orange or LA County Home? Check out our FREE Home Value Report Why is paying less commission going to cost you more money? A good, strong, professional Realtor usually charges about 6% commission to list, market, and sell a property. Why are there Realtors out there who would charge less than half of that? Let’s think about that for a moment. If a Realtor is going to reduce their fee to sell your home, what are they going to do professionally to market your home outside of the MLS? Because I specialize in listing and selling homes that other Realtors couldn’t sell, I can say from experience that most discount Realtors have extremely low marketing capabilities . Under their guidance, homes take longer to sell and receive lower offers due to their lack of negotiating experience. If you pay less, you’re going to get less. At first, it seems like you would be saving 1% or 2% on commission, but in reality, you’re losing 4% to 7% on the sales process . Another thing you should be concerned with regarding a Realtor who reduces their fee (i.e. paycheck) is how strong their negotiating skills are in the first place. If they can’t even defend their own paycheck, how are they going to defend the equity in your home? You want a Realtor who’s going to market your home aggressively, negotiate the highest dollar, and has a great team behind them to give you world-class service. For example, we’re getting almost 5% more for our homes than the average Realtor in the marketplace. Our clients are walking away with almost $21,000 more than the average Realtor can get . In real estate, you get what you pay for. If you pay less, you’re going to get less. Any Realtor that’s any good in this town, or any town, is going to charge at least 6%. Any agent that offers less is either part-time or new to the business. I can’t guarantee it, but 99% of the time I’m right. If you’re thinking about selling or know somebody who is, call me or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.…

Preparing Your Home Without Breaking the Bank

Buying an Orange or LA County Home ? Search all Homes for Sale Selling an Orange or LA County Home? Check out our FREE Home Value Report It’s summertime, and a lot of people are getting ready to sell their homes. If you’re in preparation mode, you want your home to look as good as possible to increase its value, but you don’t want to break the bank in preparing it. We have five easy and cost-effective ways you can spruce up your home’s value without investing a ton of money into the preparation. 1. Paint . A fresh coat of paint and a splash of color is an easy way to warm up a home and make it look more updated. Use a soft, neutral color to warmly welcome buyers. If you want to add some bright color, put it on the front door. It can differentiate your home from others on the outside and make it shine from the street. 2. Curb appeal. Aside from the front door, a few simple tasks can help your home look great to the buyers who are walking up to it. A layer of mulch is the easiest and quickest thing to do. Pulling weeds and making sure the yard is maintained by mowing and planting a few flowers here and there will make a big difference as well. Add touch-up paint to the eaves and baseboards too. If you want to add some bright color, put it on the front door. 3. New appliances and hardware. Even if the rest of the kitchen needs work, new appliances or hardware can further entice a buyer. 4. Quick bathroom updates. A newly painted vanity, hardware, fixtures, and new lighting can make a tired bathroom look fresh again. A fluffy set of towels, a nice rug, and sleek accessories make the space look good too. 5. New bedding. You would be surprised how new bedding can transform the look of your bedroom for next to nothing. There are two schools of thought on how to apply this tip. You can either get a cheap bed set that looks nice, or spend a little more for something with the look and feel of luxury. We have been helping a tremendous amount of homeowners get top dollar for their homes without breaking the bank in the process of getting it ready. If you want to talk more about your home, your future goals, or you’re just curious about how these things enhance your sale, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to help.…

Top 4 Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Realtor

منذ 9 years

—

Buying an Orange or LA County Home ? Search all Homes for Sale Selling an Orange or LA County Home? Check out our FREE Home Value Report There are many great questions you could ask a real estate agent before hiring them, but today I want to talk about four specific questions that will quickly tell you whether you should work with this person or not. Does the agent have a lot of experience? You’ll find that agents have varying levels of experience in the market. If you’re unsure about someone, ask about their track record and demand to see an agent report card. What is their communication plan for you? This is essential, and you need to be able to get in contact with your Realtor without hassle. Look for someone who is responsive, and someone who will not pass you off to an assistant. Is this agent passive or active? You don’t want an agent to stick a sign in your yard and hope that it sells (it won’t). You need someone who has a dedicated marketing plan that utilizes social media, Internet marketing, print marketing, and word-of-mouth. Does the agent have the tools to sell your home? How do they generate leads? What is their marketing strategy? How will they get buyers inside your home? These are all questions that you need to be asking. Thank you for your time. If you know someone who needs this information, please don’t hesitate to share it with them. I want to educate as many people as possible. Thanks for watching!…

We’re picking up the pace and likewise, experiencing increased real estate activity. Buyer demand actually dropped from the beginning of the year to the last week of January. That hasn’t happened in over a decade. You might be quick to blame the recent interest rate hike or global real estate market turmoil for this, but it’s not the case. Rates are lower today than ever before ; the rate hike is intertwined with treasury bonds, not long-term loans. Although another rate hike could impact Southern California consumers, it’s unlikely to happen given international real estate instability and the fact it’s an election year. This creates a great opportunity for sellers. The spring market approaches. There’s already an increase of inventory, but there’s less competition currently compared to the spring market. If you’re thinking of buying, it’s better to hit the ground running now rather than wait. Start today and get ahead. I understand the local market and sell homes regardless of its climate. Although the media anticipates home prices will appreciate this year, it could work against you from supply and demand. There are more homes on the market compared to last year. More homes sit on the market, and there are more open houses as well. This happened eleven years ago just before the market shifted on everyone. Afterwards, so many clients told me how much they wished to sell their home before the market turned! If this resonates with you, and you’d like to know your home’s value, let’s talk and get you ahead of your competition. Give me a call or email today!…

Five Affordable Ways to Increase the Value of Your Home

Buying an Orange or LA County Home ? Search all Homes for Sale Selling an Orange or LA County Home? Check out our FREE Home Value Report Today we'll be discussing five different ways to increase the value of your home in Los Angeles County. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to install a new kitchen or bathroom to get a good return on your investment. There are much smaller and less expensive ways to add value to your home. Refresh your kitchen: Your kitchen is the heart of your home, and where most people gather during parties. Instead of buying updated appliances, you can simply add in new lighting fixtures, replace old knobs, and repaint cabinets. The small things can add up and eventually make your kitchen feel very different. Brighten up the bathroom: You can add a fresh coat of paint, re-grout, replace light fixtures, and maybe even install new sink and shower fixtures. This is far less expensive than remodeling your entire kitchen. Replace light fixtures: These can be very inexpensive and they can add beautiful detail to each room. The brighter your home the better. Buyers don't like to buy homes that are dimly-lit. It makes them think that you're trying to hide something. Don't forget curb appeal: Buyers will begin to form opinions about your home before they even enter the driveway. This means your home has to look perfect. I suggest power-washing your entryways, trimming your hedges, and maybe even planting some extra flowers. Consider how the buyers will see your home: Buyers need to be able to imagine themselves living in your home. This is why it needs to be clean, organized, and decluttered. The buyers need to see your home, not your stuff! Just these small things can help add extra value to your home. It doesn't take a ton of extra money to get a good return, it just takes a little extra effort on your behalf. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!…
