The provided graphs for Los Angeles and Orange County will display where we are in this market cycle. The data displayed in the graph has been adjusted for inflation. The smart investor is always looking at the market to determine which strategy to use and when would be the best time to exit the market. As you can see, both counties are still in the wealth-building phase (automatic equity/appreciation due to the phase/cycle of the market).
Be cautions not to be mislead by claims that there will be a housing market crash. This is what one should expect over the rest of this year. 1.) Continued lack of housing inventory; 2.) Buyers who can still afford to purchase a home will do so and have less competition; 3.) Home appreciation will be in the single digit area; 4.) Sellers should expect longer listing time periods.
Where we more than likely will see a crash will be within the real estate industry. For example, loan applications are down by 30%. This has already forced large lending institutions to begin laying off loan reps. Due to the drop of qualified buyers, this in turn will mean less business for real estate agents, less business for escrows, and so on.
Now, you must be wondering if you should buy a home now. For some of you, the answer is yes and for others, the answer is no but it will all depend upon your short or long-term goals with the home. This is where I come into play as a professional in the real estate industry. I will ask you a few questions that will help me evaluate and provide you with the proper strategy that fits your needs. So feel free in calling me at (714) 612-0995 so to chat. Easy, simple, and with no strings.
Thank you for your time and I am here ready and willing to work for you when you are ready to buy or sell a home.
