Top Things Orange County Home Sellers Should Consider for Listing Strategy

 

Top Things for Orange County CA home sellers to consider prior to listing for sale.

1. Clean and uncluttered is key for your seller success. Buyers always like to see clean and uncluttered homes.

2. Staging for showing and sale - Interior new paint and replacement furniture and furnishings could be the perfect improvement for your home to show off for buyers. Contact an experienced local Realtor agent for information on your choice of staging contractors.

3. PRICE IT RIGHT - See and used closed sale property comp data as key for success.

Buyers will always look at the comps. When it comes to price, the market’s opinion on sold homes is what matters and will indicate range of value.

4. Preview other homes in the neighborhood. Real estate is local, and character and attractiveness of your home for buyers will depend upon how other properties show.

5. Consider possible renovations and improvements, which would bring you home up to community expectations and help it sell quickly.

6. Prepare your property and list your home for sale now and as soon as possible before start of springtime. You will want to list and market your home while others are on sidelines and before other sellers compete for your buyer.

Most Californians Still Follow the Suburban Living Dream

Millions of Southern Californians have followed the suburban living dream involving single-family homes during the past fifty years, and that trend continues.

 

Governor Brown has recently tried to dampen the California trend toward single-family home living.  He wants to encourage people to move away from suburbs and toward his urban living model - toward apartments and condos located near bus and rail transportation centers.
 
But that urban living idea won't work for most Californians.  

 

About 80 percent of new construction for residential property in CA continues to be single-family homes.  Californians like to buy and live in single-family houses, mostly in suburbs.

 
With the California housing recovery is moving in a positive direction, the market for rentals will probably decrease while people continue to buy single-family homes. 
 
Most Californians like their suburban living and won't move toward urban city life.

 

Planners and CA politicians should pay more attention to what people want and value in suburban living.  

Suburb areas should be improved for quality of life, including placement of solid public schools in each geographic area, hiking and biking trails, creating more open spaces and parks to be permanent and accessible for residents.

Home Sellers Best Time to Move Up is Now

 

Best time for sellers to move up is now at Orange County CA real estate.

Selling prices have gone up during the past twelve months - with lots of motivated buyers - and limited number of listings, which resulted in markets now favoring sellers.

Sellers at Orange County should get off the sidelines to list and sell homes now - while taking advantage of higher selling prices and home buying at the next level with excellent mortgage rates. 

Example:  If a homeowner wants to upgrade and move up from a $500k home to an $750k home - and if he waits one year for prices to go up ten percent - the $500k home would be $550k, and the $750k home would also be $75,000 higher - now at $825,000.  So the seller would lose $25,000 by waiting to sell and move up. 

 Mortgage rates have remained near all-time lows and are still excellent.  

But these rates are temporary and will not last.  Expect U.S. Government's continued putting money into markets will eventually lead to inflation and higher mortgage rates.

Our advice to those who want to move up to a nicer or larger home is to ACT NOW - hire an experienced Realtor and real estate professional who will get your property on the market as soon as possible.  

Use your HOME SELLERS ADVANTAGE to list and sell quickly - then buy your next home while using some of the best mortgage opportunities in years.
