    At 4:45 am I got a call from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department dispatcher that some of my personaly property had been recovered by an officer in the field. As I went to the scene to claim my belongings, I snapped some photos so you can all share in my early morning disturbance!

  13. Is Now The Time, Or Is It Too Late?

    With the news that the federal government will be pulling out of the investment in mortgage backed securities there is no doubt that mortgage rates will rise. I along with many others who track the real estate market here in South Orange County have been reporting the sales price increases over the past 6 months or so. For some home buyers on the proverbial “fence” that was not enough reason to take the leap into home ownership. There have been reports about the new influx of Bank-Owned properties soon to hit the market. Yet, no flood seems to be looming.

    The question I am asking now, and what you should ask yourself is…is now the time? Is now the time to stop thinking about it and start doing it? Banks are lending. The incentives are there. In some areas, the inventory is still at a high enough point to give you, the buyer, plenty to choose from. But, not all areas. Aliso Viejo is seeing the lowest inventory in quite some time with 69% of it’s escrows that of distressed properties.

    The truth of the matter is, for you as a buyer in the 2010 South Orange County real estate market, the opportunity is there. Deals are available for first time buyers, investors looking for cash-flow, and the move up family. Make the choice to stop waiting and watching what might happen. A higher rate would change the circumstances much more than the incremental differences in price. So now with rates on the rise, and housing prices not looking to dip lower any time soon, is now the time for you?

    Give me a call if you would like a personalized market blueprint to see if this truly is your time to buy! As always, I welcome your comments here as well.

About

Real estate...so many facets and avenues about this commodity and the business associated with it. My interest in Real Estate peaked as the market took its tumble downward. You may assume it was to take advantage of those who had fallen victim to the "dream" of home ownership, and how easy it seemed to be attained. It truly was the opposite. I saw an opportunity to HELP! There are still many homeowners looking for assistance that guides them in the right direction, I provide that. Buyers looking to finally be able to reach that pinnacle of home ownership find me as an incredible resource in the local market.

Here on Blog.MarkGundlach, my intent is to provide accurate market information, insights to real-time happenings, and keeping in touch with what my clients really want.

With the use of video and social media avenues, I am constantly bringing to you great deals, local area knowledge, and a whole lot of passion for what I do. I do hope you enjoy your time here, and feel free to visit MarkGundlach.com as well. Please leave comments as you see fit!
