We are very grateful for your repeat business and referrals that you are so kind to send to us.

South Orange County Real Estate Market Trends - BanCorp Properties

Summer is just around the corner and the real estate continues to be hot in South Orange County. With property values rising (or remaining stable at worst), we believe the trend will continue through the summer, with interest rates hovering around record lows. With many buyers still paying cash for quicker closes, many of the homes for sale along the coastline including San Clemente, Dana Point, Newport Coast, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach are staying on the market for lesser periods of days on market – especially those under $1mm. Another trend we see is listing agents not allowing any showings until they hold an open house over the weekend – this is across the Orange County housing market.

Newport Beach Luxury Homes For Sale

BanCorp Properties serves in 18 major South Orange County cities, and has been working in the capacity of a licensed Real Estate Broker since 1995. Condos continue to be hot commodity, especially along the inland region of the county (Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Irvine and Aliso Viejo). Single-level single-family residences also are in high-demand and are also hard to locate. For now the trend in real estate prices is up, and we don’t see any indicators that change this trend in the near-future. We also like to remind buyers that are paying cash for home to still get an appraisal on the property.

Spirit-affirming Outdoor Lifestyle – South Orange County Real Estate

 

As evidenced by the passion and detailed knowledge that the veteran Realtors bring, no Real Estate Broker understands the value of South Orange County quite like BanCorp Properties. For those who appreciate the ocean-close splendor and laid-back lifestyle, South Orange County is a particularly gorgeous slice of heaven on earth. Our local professionals like to point out that one of the keys to succeeding in the South Orange County luxury real estate market is not over-analyzing a market with a finite number of premium opportunities. Potential homes must remember to keep their focus on the experiences that they might be missing with their family, life is short! Buyers can’t continue to wait for the best “deal”, they need to act when they find the right property.

More than ever our local South Orange County Real Estate Agents see clients paying top dollar for the most dramatic locations, particularly along the coastline. They are unique and valuable due to their close proximity to the ocean, nightlife, and in cities such as Laguna Beach, an iconic art community. BanCorp Properties likes to point out that the buyer understands the value of the lifestyle that South Orange county offers. The true value depends on the enjoyment it provides its owners.

Orange County is always offering the trendiest, hot, new amenities in hot-spot communities that are scattered from San Clemente to Huntington Beach. There has always been a high-demand for luxury homes found in guard-gated communities that have the bells and whistles that speak to an elite clientele. Another appealing option are communities the offer the kind of upscale, urban lifestyle that so many professionals find appealing. Residences within walking distance of restaurants, shops, nightlife and other venues are becoming an increasing popular option in South Orange County. What exactly is a hot-spot area or community? One where real estate trades quickly, one that’s happening day and night, where restaurants are bustling and people are out walking the streets. Think downtown areas such as Downtown Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach (Village), Irvine (Airport Area), San Clemente Pier, Dana Point Harbor…

Adjusting Purchase Price Downward - Pricing Strategies | Orange County Real Estate Market

 

If you are an Orange County, CA homeowner and you are getting ready to list your property for sale it is imperative that you work with a experienced Orange County Realtor that has sound pricing strategies in place for determining the sales price. By setting an artificially high purchase price, the likelihood that the property will linger on the Orange County MLS for a significantly longer time than average raises exponentially – the ‘days on market’ continue to tick. If the property is not a multi-million home, it is under most circumstances fairly easy for the buyer’s agent to ‘comp-out’ the property in determining the fair market value, which will invariably lead to the number set in the offer.

If the home is in the $500k - $1mm range, if one ‘xyz’ company says they can get you significantly more than ‘abc’ company you should be very skeptical. They certainly can start out with an initial higher listing price to secure the listing, but that does nothing to guarantee a higher sales price. All the marketing in the world is very rarely going to get a buyer to over pay for a property. If you have to adjust the selling price down while the house is on the market, other Realtors pick up this, which can also lead to low-ball offers – with the thinking being that the seller is desperate to sell the property. They may or may not pick up on the fact that the property was overpriced from the start.

The bottom line is this: If you are getting ready to list your home and a model match 3 doors away just sold for $600,000, it might not be a wise decision to list your home for $675,000 – not in this market.

South Orange County Open House Weekend - South Orange County Real Estate For Sale | BanCorp Properties - Easier and Faster™ Orange County Homes For Sale

BanCorp Properties: Costa Mesa Homes For Sale

 

 

This weekend we are focusing on inland cities of South Orange County. Cities that are not adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. When you move away from the coastline, properties tend to become more affordable: that is not always the case, but it is a general rule of thumb. With rates remaining at historical lows, South Orange County remains a great opportunity, the inventory remains fairly high, which would make it more of a buyer’s market. This week we are targeting homes which we would consider to be “Orange County Open Houses Best Buy’s.”

The city’s we are highlighting this week are Aliso ViejoCoto De CazaCosta Mesa and Rancho Santa MargaritaAliso Viejo is a master-planned community that is one of the newest addition to Orange County’s cities and consists of semi-custom tract homes, condominiums and townhouses. Coto De Caza is basically split up into two “sub-communities” the north and south. The north are consists of sprawling equestrian properties, mansions and custom-built homes, the south area is comprised of luxury semi-custom built homes, with many found alongside the golf course. Rancho Santa Margarita is a family-friendly city which has a man-made lake and a golf course: it is also largely a master-planned community and located on the eastern edge of Orange County. Costa Mesa is one of Orange County’s oldest and the majority of the homes have a Spanish-style or beach cottage architectural design. Costa Mesa has one of the highest concentrations of single-level homes for sale that you will find anywhere in Orange County.
