Who would have thought with a pandemic going on that we would experience one of the best real estate markets in YEARS?

Low rates = good for buyers
Low inventory = good for sellers

Homes are selling incredibly quickly with multiple offers! If you are thinking about selling, I have buyers that are not finding houses! Please reach out!

Have you heard that homes sales are down?

Here are some stats for Foothill Ranch, for Single Family Homes:

Number of Homes for sale: 29
Average time to sell (past 6 mos): 42 days
Average sales price: $807,697

This is a big difference from last year, where we saw homes selling, on average, within 20 days. Homes were selling more money, with the average sales price being $826,363.

It's important to know the numbers, especially if selling/buying is not a necessity right now. Choose an agent that knows your market.

I’m not the pressure-driven realtor. I will be 100% honest with you, regardless of how it affects my pockets. Even though the county has seen a major decline in sales, Foothill Ranch was the only city noted that had an INCREASE in sales. We have a very special neighborhood...and I work hard to keep it that way.

Homebuying in inland South County — including Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita and San Juan Capistrano — fell 21% in what was Orange County slowest nine months of sale…

Just closed escrow yesterday on an investment property for my client. Not only did he get a killer deal, but I was able to find him a renter before we even closed. Now he is ready to buy another before the year is over, so that one day, he can quit his day job and live off of that income.

Doesn't that sound dreamy? Wouldn't an extra stream of income help out? Maybe enough properties to help you retire early?

Have questions? Reach out to me anytime!

The average annual gross rental yield in the U.S. (annualized gross rent income divided by median purchase price of single-family homes) among the 432 counties was 8.8 percent for 2019, up from an average of 8.7 percent in 2018.
