It’s just another Monday in Southern California…

For months, I have been stating the fact! This market is natural, it’s part of a cycle that has to play itself out. Inventory will continue to come on the market due to the liquidity challenges that the Mortgage market faces.
When will the bottom hit? Who really knows… did we know that 2005 was going to be the peak? I surely didn’t. While I personally saw problems with overpricing, bidding wars and all kinds of "unrealistic" loans that enticed even the most educated buyers into making unjustified decisions… I would have never stated the correction would have happen as fast as it has!
If you know me by now… the next question is what is the positive? I believe that there is a lot of "opportunity" in today’s market and there will be "opportunities" to come. With the Interest rates hitting what could be called an all time historic low, I know that this is a very limited window! With short sales & foreclosures increasing, the market will continue to be flooded with new "opportunities".
Buyers will continue to be able to negotiate will the Sellers and Builder direct in the form of incentives, closing cost, concessions, discounted loan rates and more. What will it take for you to move in todays market? Motivation! Smart Pricing! Marketing! A Consultant that is truly in touch with the market, one who can Negotiate, Consult, and Oversee all the Transactional Details in order to help you reach your goals…
You could wait for the bottom… the only problem with that… when the bottom does hit, chances are you will be 6 months past, interest rates will have made their adjustments and sellers will be in the drivers seat… driving up the prices all over again. Face it, it’s not a matter of if but a matter of when.
So why now? I can’t say… I don’t know your short term, long term real estate goals, your financial plan or your personal situation. If you are thinking about it, sitting on the fence, waiting, wishing, hoping… whatever it may be, my advise might be to listen to the Nike commercials and "just do it" , it might even be wait.
What would it take for you to take advantage of the "opportunities" in today’s changing real estate market? When would you like to get together for a consultation, where I can ask you a few thought provoking questions, in order to help you clarify your core goals, so that you can make better, easier decisions? You do want to make better decisions, do you not?
Remember… I’m here to help you any way that I can. Just give me a call and we can schedule an initial consultation. Until then, thank you for your time and attention.
With Sincere Appreciation-
