Zen's Latest Orange County Housing Market Update
(see the latest statistics for every city in O.C.)

Today I am going to talk about the next "X Factor" in real estate. This trend is going to drive real estate in the next 5 years, and will have consequences (both good and bad) for everybody.

The "X Factor" in Orange County is new home construction. We are seeing projects that died during the market crash exploding with new homes throughout Orange County. Areas like The Great Park, Rancho Mission Viejo, Baker Ranch, and Marble Beach are all seeing huge rises in new home construction as of late.

This is going to affect you and your home's appreciation. We actually may not have any home appreciation over the next 5 years, so what should you do?

I highly recommend that we sit down together and talk about your goals, and where you want to be in the next few years. So contact me directly at (949) 391-3141 to set up your FREE consultation. I'd be glad to help you understand the X factor and how it's going to affect the market here in Orange County.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I can't wait to talk with you!

Zen's Latest Orange County Housing Market Update

(see the latest statistics for every city in O.C.)

Hey everyone, welcome back. In Orange County, a lot of people have been asking us about the market in 2015. A lot of people have been asking, "Is this the year to sell and cash out on my Orange County home?"

I track the trends and have a really good grasp on where the market is headed. For example, last year I predicted a 7% home appreciation, and we got 8%. This year, there are other factors we’ve been tracking that people aren't talking about, which is important to note, as these factors will impact both buyers and sellers alike.

One of the most crucial factors to consider will be the upcoming election year of 2016. We know the “cost” of borrowing money will rise, which in turn will affect affordability for buyers. Because of this, it might make sense to move now, while we know what's going on in the market.

Call me now at 949-391-3141 or email me to schedule your FREE Consultation to review your real estate questions, goals and plans so you don't miss out on the opportunity of maximizing your real estate purchase or sale. My team and I appreciate the opportunity of serving you. Talk to you soon!
