OC Homebuying down 19.2% in July

Why would now be a good time to buy?  A decrease in competition of offers, more inventory and more room in the price if the sellers are truly motivated. If you're interested in what's out there now, feel free to contact me.

A sampling of homes currently available:

$499,900- Irvine
Fern Canyon

Upgraded kitchen of Fern Canyon

What does a property under 100K in the OC look like?

In my last posting I had written about a 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath property in Santa Ana under 100K.  Here are some pics to satisfy your imagination!  Not bad actually.  What do you think?

                                      

                                      

                                      

Also, after having a critique of my blog from my husband, I've decided to change the format of the blog to alternate the giving back posts with the real estate posts to make the posts flow a little bit better. 

If you have any charitable causes or volunteer opportunities you'd like to highlight, please let me know and I'll give it a spotlight here on my blog!  Also, if you're interested in a particular property you'd like more info about, I can highlight that one as well.

Thanks for reading!
