Recently I was approached by a friend who is taking courses to pass her California Real Estate Sales Person Test. She is in the process of learning how to become an Orange County Realtor. She was given an assignment to interview a full-time Orange County Realtor. I gladly offered my help. I am sure there are numerous people out there in a similar situation. Perhaps not for the pure purpose of completing a homework assignment, but more so for the purpose of learning how to become an Orange County Realtor. I felt I should post the questions she sent me and my answers. Please understand this is a very lite overall picture of a much more complex set of answers to become an Orange County Realtor.

IE beginning a career as an Orange County Realtor or looking into changing Orange County Real Estate brokers, or even interests in selling or buying Orange County real estate. Maybe looking for options or perhaps even insights to how the Orange County Real Estate industry works and the mindset of Orange County Realtors. I would gladly answer any and all questions.

Is the Orange County Real Estate Market Heading for another bubble? Is the US housing market in general heading for another bubble?
Taking the US market as a whole is Macro Economics and that really only has relevance with politicians, school and discussion like this one.
Let us focus on is there an Orange County Real Estate Bubble? Orange County real estate saw a huge appreciation from September 2012 to September 2013. (About 30% This would definitely make one believe there is an Orange County real estate bubble). It has gone relatively flat since with some small exceptions. The usual market time has tripled since a year ago hovering at about 2.5 months. I hear people saying that prices are dropping, and I explain prices are not dropping they have stabilized. Sellers were over zealous thinking prices would continue to rise, so they would price their home 5% to 10% higher than the comps. Homes sit as the sellers realize they need to bring the price down to match the market. Buyers are no longer willing to chase and are waiting for a correctly priced home. The market is primarily equity sellers that are contingent on finding a replacement home, and smaller scale investment companies or individuals.

There are many projects underway in Orange County. Some in the beginning stages some in the latter stages. All the builders are offering great products and the information on the web is extremely vague and sometimes misleading. The main reason for this is that they want you to visit the properties. Buying new construction has a tremendous upside but, it requires patience and time to find your best fit solution.
My favorite project is Rancho Mission Viejo. A beautifully designed master planned community off Ortega Highway and Antonio Parkway just south of Ladera Ranch.
The influence of foreclosures and short sales on the housing market is minimal.
Distressed: foreclosures and short sales make up only 5% of the overall inventory in Orange County.
It is amazing how often people ask about foreclosures. Buyers want to buy a foreclosure. Investors want to buy foreclosures. Shadow inventory? Empty foreclosures intentionally held off the market? When’s the wave?
The reality is that as the interest in distressed homes has grown exponentially, the number of foreclosures and short sales placed on the market has dropped dramatically. Buyers and investors wishes for more distressed sales have become nothing more than wishful thinking. The more they ask, the less they find.
