Irvine Market Update - January 🏡

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Happy New Year!  The supply of homes available to purchase is at a staggering, record low.  Matched by a crazed demand, the market is insanely HOT!  With nearly no homes on the market, home values are soaring, and today’s higher mortgage rates are not deterring buyers from purchasing. 

BUYERS: Waiting for the market to slow is not the answer. Home values will climb between 8 to 10% in Orange County, and mortgage rates could reach or even exceed 3.5%.  With rising values and higher rates, home affordability will decrease. Instead, you need to purchase now and watch as your home values rise, as there is no sign the market will slow anytime soon.

SELLERS: Take advantage of this HOT market. Pricing is still key, and will allow a seller to tap into the hoards of buyers waiting for every home that hits the market.  Concerned where would you go if you sell?  I have a list of off-market properties with sellers in the same situation.  Let's connect and see if we can make a match off-market.  It could be a win-win situation!  

Included below is your Irvine Market snapshot. I am your local resource for all your real estate needs. Referrals are always appreciated.

Market Action Index
Comparison rate of sales versus inventory
 
The market continues to get hotter. More sales demand and fewer homes listed have contributed to a relatively long run of increasing prices. Current supply and demand levels show no sign of prices changing from their current trend.

This Month's Feature... Always baked with love!  

Hi I'm Lauren and I am a self-taught baker who has always had a passion for the art of cake decorating! I love making people happy through my confections. After attending USC, and years baking for families on the side, I decided to turn my passion into a career! I am obsessed with understanding the cake world and staying up to date with new trends.
No two cakes are alike and I set myself apart with my bold flavor combinations and organic, quality ingredients! Everything I make is baked with love; going the extra mile with decorations and pouring my heart into everything I create. I make a wide array of quality confections including special occasion and wedding cakes, cake pops, cupcakes, chocolate covered oreos, chocolate pretzels, sugar cookies, and anything else you can imagine! Place a custom order online and order ahead, I fill up quickly!
Congratulations Lauren on following your passion and providing us sweet treats!
