Why Laguna Beach Realty Is Better Then California Realty?
As you know California is one of the States who suffers the most from real estate crises
. This downfall in real estate market is still falling down the peak. But, Laguna Beach Realty is safe to bid upon and growing to its best level. Underneath I am going to discuss some of the reasons why this growth is taking place at Laguna Beach realty.Home Prices Steady
Not surprisingly, Laguna Beach Homes for sale are still on the higher end of the California market. As of this week, the median price was $1.27 million, compared to the state-wide median of $268,000. But the figures have gone down over the year-this time in 2009, Laguna Beach homes for sale were going for $1.42 million, a 10% drop overall. This may have been a result of increased foreclosures and short sales, which have driven down home values elsewhere.
Foreclosures Unchanged
The number of Laguna Beach homes for sale as foreclosures or short sales has remained the same within the last week. There are currently 109 foreclosures listed in the city, while regular Laguna Beach homes for sale were last counted at 590. Meanwhile, foreclosures have been on the rise throughout California, with over 70,000 notices of default issued from April to June. The trend is slowly moving down, however; in the same period last year, more than 130,000 such notices were issued.
More Defaults In High-End Areas
Like most affluent cities-those with median prices over $800,000-Laguna Beach is seeing more defaults than middle- to low-end California. More Laguna Beach homes for sale are listed as short sales, and that doesn't include REO's and foreclosures. In the state's 15 most expensive counties, including Orange County where Laguna Beach is located, pricey homes make up a higher percentage of the total homes where a notice of default was issued.
Mortgage Rates Down
California mortgage rates have been steadily dropping and reaching historic lows for much of 2010. This has encouraged more buyers to take the plunge and reconsider Laguna Beach homes for sale, which would have been out of their budget any other time. The biggest drop is in 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, which fell 0.22% last week from 4.192% to 4.170%, followed by a 0.12% drop in 30-year fixed-rate mortgages from 4.637% to 4.623%.
