💥 JUST SOLD 💥
This exciting and unique off-market property offers views of the beautiful Ladera Ranch community and even a sliver of an ocean 🌊 view! While the deal was highly complicated and involved a contingent sale of the Buyer’s property, we were able to close within a day of the other property. Having a great team to assist with title, escrow, and lending helps to ensure a smooth transaction. Thanks to all that were involved! 🙏🏻

CLOSED! 💥 RECORD PRICE 💥
After only 6 days on market, this property surged for over $115k higher than the most recent sale in the neighborhood! Beautifully remodeled and located on a sprawling lot with access to an adjacent park, we are excited to close out this property before the end of the year.

Thankful this year for many things including our clients choosing us to represent them! Check out this gorgeous home in Ladera and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Exciting to enter the weekend with another property under escrow! This beautifully renovated, single-story home is packed with unique architectural details and includes direct access to a neighborhood park.

Just leased in Huntington Beach! Pleased to assist in this deal for one of our investor clients with several properties throughout the OC area. We were able to secure a lease and occupancy within 1 week from the completion of renovations. Exciting!

Let’s take a moment to reflect back on our recent sale in Orange and investigate how that market has evolved over the past year. There are many metrics to understand market growth and contraction and we’ve highlighted some key indicators in the image above. Of notable interest are number of sales and days on market as these two metrics can clearly illustrate how limited inventory has a direct impact on the cost of real estate…17% to be exact! That’s why it’s important to work with a trusted advisor to help navigate pricing and negotiations to ensure you get the best deal possible. If you or a friend needs assistance, please DM to set up a consultation. 🙏🏻

Closing out this week with a beautiful property in Orange. Here’s the backstory…This couple had gone through the emotional stress and toll of submitting offers on several properties without success. Unfortunately, that’s most people’s reality in this market given the fierce competition.

They decided to make a change from their previous agent and gave Alamo Pacific Realty an opportunity to help them find their new home. It turns out, if you listen to your clients wants and needs, and are aggressive in positioning their offer for success, a home can be found on the first attempt. And that’s exactly what happened! So very grateful to be part of their first home purchase and excited to see them transform the property into their own. Stay tuned for future renovation pics.

Switching gears today to a newly leased, 6,000 SF commercial office space located in Irvine’s Technology Center. This building, owned by The Irvine Company, is an ideal location in the heart of the Irvine Spectrum with ground-level loading, plentiful parking and available signage opportunities. The company which leased this space sought to re-envision its corporate space by using a similar footprint as their existing office and evolving to meet the needs of its employee base. Now the company offers a completely flexible solution with drop-in workstations and offices to complement the work from home model. Exciting to be on the forefront of the ever-changing commercial office space market!

Regardless if you’re a Buyer or Seller, it’s important to understand how appraisal contingency can effect you. Especially since today’s market is saturated with quick closes tailored to favor the Seller.

As a Buyer, appraisal contingency is there to ensure you’re not overpaying for the property. If you’re in need of financing, the lender will only finance up to the appraised value. For example, if your offer price is $1M and the property is appraised for $1M it would be business as usual. However, if the property is appraised for $990k, you will be responsible for covering the $10k difference during closing typically in the form of cash (similar to a downpayment). Conversely, if the appraisal comes in at $1.01M and you buy it for $1M…congratulations! This won’t have an impact on lending but will give you surety you secured a good deal.

As a Seller in today’s market, it’s amazing to see the volume of high offers come in on your property. If financing is involved from a potential Buyer, you’ll want to be certain the offer is realistic or you take specific precautions to minimize risk. An example would be to ask to remove appraisal contingency and verify the Buyer has funds to cover any differences if you believe your home will appraise for less than the offer price.

In either case, it’s wise to have an experienced Realtor in your corner to ensure your interests are protected.

It’s not every day you have the opportunity and honor to help your best friends purchase their first home. And, to add to the fun, they purchased their home during the planning of an engagement (though she didn’t quite know that)! Congratulations to this beautiful couple and for their recent life wins. Looking forward to watching them build a happy marriage in this home! Thank you for choosing to represent you 🙏🏻

As we continue to monitor the seller’s market, it’s key to be familiar with what an “as-is” listing means as it will influence how you approach a deal. This will certainly impact the strategy you take on offer price as well as the closing timeline. These nuances will set you apart from competition and get you in your next property!

While Costa Mesa continues to be a white hot area of the market, we approached this property with confidence and persistence. Confidence in that we knew our buyers position was strong and persistence in that we were careful to respect the balance between being interested and being an annoyance amongst the 19 OFFERS the listing agent had to comb through. 🤣Thank you for giving us the opportunity to assist in one of the biggest financial decisions of your life! 🙏🏻

Another market update but zooming into the single family homes in the Costa Mesa area. Check out the 31% rise in value over the past year!

Let’s talk about equity today! For many people, equity is a key way to build personal wealth over time. As your home’s value increases over the long term and you pay down your mortgage principal, your equity grows. So what can we do with it?

The most common application is to use it as an opportunity to level up in house. It’s really a time-tested approach to build wealth. Other uses includes tapping into your equity as a means for more cost-effective financing options compared to typical loans / credit cards with high interest rates. However, always make the best decision for your personal situation.

Being a buyer in this market takes patience and persistence. And it often comes with multiple showings and creative positioning to stand out from the dozens of offers. As soon as we walked into this home, the Stipes knew this was the ONE they could raise their little girl in. Now they get to take advantage of all the community amenities Ladera has to offer including the parks, trails, sports fields, skate park, pools and splash pads. Congratulations to this beautiful family!
