Will El Niño Impac Orange County Real Estate Sales?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted the strongest El Niño ever recorded and property owners hope to be prepared before the storms make their imprint.

Demand has risen to get roofs repaired so much that monthly backlogs are on the rise.
It is not only the coastal and canyon areas that are going to get hit warns real estate agents in Orange County.

Numerous homeowners seeking to sell their home typically put those plans on pause during the holidays and some even delay it until the Super Bowl passes to list  their home on the Multiple Listing Service.  Flooding and fatal mudslides predicted to be far worse than recent severe than megastorms which have pummeled Orange County may bring on even more delays in the high demand OC housing market.

El Niño should not have a lasting effect on n Orange County home sales in 2016 based on information from a group of real estate industry forecasters. This claim is contradictory to the current seasonal slump from data firm CoreLogic.

2015 marks the first year-over-year sales since January and was the smallest amount of transactions closings for October since the housing market recovery started back in 2012.

The median price of all Orange County homes fell to $600,000, which signals a decline of 2.4 percent for the month. It was the second biggest September-to-October percentage drop going as far back to 1988.

Housing experts recall that the El Niño in 1997-1998, actually did not have a detrimental effect on the real estate market. Presently, there is plenty of strength in the housing market due to the limited inventory of resale homes so buyers do not have a large number of choices.

So, no matter the case, wet weather, buyers will certainly be ready to act on new and resale homes that come on the MLS and are priced appropriately.

Laguna Beach Overview


Laguna Beach is a really expensive area. Their are numerous laid-back people living in Laguna that are very caring and have lived there for years prior to the TV shows. From the time when MTV got here to the city I feel it has gotten a tad more uppity among the many youngsters who realized "Hey, everybody across the country is watching us on TV, so we have to become more cool, and so on."

People, who don't come here to reside, come here to vacation. They arrive here in search of calm and to enjoy the surroundings. If you want a more everlasting trip to thearea, then you should give some thought about buying a home in South Orange County.

If you're relocating to Laguna Beach, prices today will help you become more financially secure and fit in. Understand that you will be encircled by some people with lots of cash and most of the youngsters will probably be driving late model cars to high school, have custom made garments and things. It will not be a rare occurrence to view a 16-yr old get out of a brand new BMW or Lexus. Is that a dangerous thing, not essentially, however some folks that do not have as much cash could really feel left behind in the crowd and forgotten.

The real estate industry, particularly short sale properties are one that have undergone some major modifications within the preceding 4 years. While many people have had the opportunity to "buy in" at below market worth prices as a consequence of some fairly distressed homeowners, the trends have gone up and down. Today, in what might be a last night stand for the short sale market, there are several Laguna Beach properties still to be had around the $700,000 price range which is an utter steal if you are familiar with the location itself. As you consider whether or not to purchase a house within the coming months, it's worthwhile to keep one ear to the ground to the developments in this region. The openings are less by the day, and as America readies itself for one of its most heavily contested elections in years, the advantageous time to do something for purchasing at a low price and selling at a good profit could be quickly dwindling away within the Laguna Beach area.
