Sales in Southern California Looks Flat to Slightly Up
Okay, I am going to get a little wonky on you this week. Blame it on Mark, keeper of all things mathematical and statistical. I’m becoming a geek by way of marriage.
We thought the chart to the right was striking – because of the manner in which it shows clearly the path that home prices have followed throughout the country. You’ll notice that Orange County is not specifically listed on this chart, but consider it to be in the vicinity of L.A. and San Diego! Of note is the climb from 2000 to the peak followed by the decline and flattening out over the past 18 months or so. Las Vegas (yellow line) has made a complete round-trip back to 2000 prices. Ouch.

Well, it occurred to me today that just because we have been in the business since 1989…we have sold about a zillion homes, gotten expert at marketing residential real estate in all different price ranges, cities and circumstances. We have helped clients find really great tenants, helped sellers rid themselves of really bad loans through refi’s, and over-incumbered homes through short sales. We’ve done bank sales, probates, helped with difficult divorce sales…but how would you all know this?
Surely not because First Team has a big shot award called the Hall of Fame that agents get each year when they sell a bunch of homes. Yep, there is a banquet, and yes, we have a wall full of these awards that mean little compared to the satisfaction in knowing that we helped to get people where they needed to be…many of whom have offered their names and numbers and stories beginning in next week’s newsletter!
Referrals Rock! I am grateful that so many of you, our Dana Point neighbors and friends, have referred us business in 2010 and already in 2011!
Thanks for continuing to keep us in mind when your friends, coworkers, and family are in need of professional real estate advice and service. We work throughout SoCal, but enjoy a large network of pros across the USA. We’re your one-stop real estate shop!
