The Community of Madrid in Mission Viejo

Madrid of Mission Viejo is the perfect place to get that home you have been looking for, for that price you have been wanting. Check out a few of the statistics below…

Within the Past Year…
Closed Listings in past year:  54

Madrid has a very diverse range of ages in the community but the chart shows us a little more in detail of the specific ages you may want to live with. Another great reason to make this decision would be because of the very low crime rates for the area and let alone all of Orange County has very little crime.

    If you are interested in what is to come in Orange County real estate, then listen up as Leslie Appleton Young has provided us with some great insights.  We had the chance to attend one of Leslie’s recent luncheons, and she gave us great information we needed to know for the upcoming Real Estate shift.

As mentioned in our recent video summary on YouTube (embedded below), Leslie stated California Realty is a “Bright Spot in the California Economy; and that the bottom has been reached and is on its way up.”  We also found demand is starting to grow, big time!  83% of Real Estate investors are buying to hold.  57% of homes in Orange County are recieveing multiple offers of more than asking.  There are an average of 4.3 offers per property!!!  Homes are flying off the market right now as well – the average days on the MLS is cut in half from a year prior.  Southern California Median home prices are up 14.3 %. Things are looking much better for Orange County and California real estate in general…great news!!

Mission Viejo Real Estate Statistics – Time to build that portfolio!

Posted on November 1, 2012. Filed under: First Time Buyer help, Informed Investor Alliance, OC Property Profiles, Orange County Real Estate | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

Mission Viejo Real Estate is selling like no other! Homes come on the market and are off just like that. Here are some of the stats for Mission Viejo Real Estate, but 1st I will allow you to view the meanings of each before anyone is confused as to what each stand for…

  • Active – indicates the property is on the market and accepting buyer offers.
  • Backup – means the home has technically accepted a buyer offer and is sold, but the buyer is still in his/her contingency period of due diligence investigations and full loan approval.  California buyers get 17 days after offer acceptance to complete all contingencies and inspections.
  • Pending – implies all contingencies have been removed on this listing and its only a matter of time until close.
  • Closed – entails the buyer’s loan has funded, and title has officially recorded in the new owner’s name.

There are a few other status’ you may see:

  • Hold – property is on hold and not being shown to new buyers for various reasons. (there are 36 of those right now)
  • Cancelled – means the property listing was cancelled by the owner before a sale took place.
  • Expired – indicates the listing agreement on the home for sale expired before a sale occurred.
  • Withdrawn – similar to cancelled status, this property has been withdrawn from the market.
