Orange County Ca: It has been about 6 years now that short sales have become a major portion of the real estate market in Southern California. I have worked with many distressed home sellers over this timeframe. Some were holding on to their homes for fear that if they sold their home with a “short sale” payoff that they would not be able to purchase another home again. Well this is just not true. In 2012 I have already sold homes to my clients that I assisted that  sold their home as a short sale.   As I was reading the Orange County register this morning I noticed the front page of the real estate section was an article titled DISTRESSED SELLERS MAKE A COMEBACK. The article introduces the term  “Boomerang Buyers”. The number of people that have already re-purchased new home is wonderf... 02/17/2013

REAL ESTATE MARKET REBOUND TO BLAME FOR LOW INVENTORY IN FULLERTON CA Real estate listings continued to decline in Fullerton, California, with a 6.8% reduction between November and December 2012. Year to date, the number of homes for sale in Fullerton, California has dropped over 55%. This massive decrease can be attributed, in large part, to the amount of available, distressed real estate listings in Fullerton; foreclosure and short sale listings have plummeted by more than 160% since January of 2012 as an increasing number of homeowners have regained their lost equity and have been able to take advantage of the insanely low interest rates, and refinance their property.

Not very many people would have predicted this situation in Fullerton real estate.  Inventory is so low that many many homes get multiple offers and many of them are over the list price.  This seems "wild" as we all thought that we were in a buyers market -- but this is what happens when demand out paces the supply.  Where are the Sellers - sitting this out until the economy becomes more predictable (that is my conclusion).  Let's hope 2013 starts to settle fears down a little. 12/30/2012

Fuoco Pizzeria Napoletana is a brand new authentic Italian pizza joint in Downtown Fullerton. Franco is the owner of the Fuoco Pizzeria and has done a fine job of making it as authentic as possible by importing a wood oven, as well as many ingredients from Naples, Italy. Along with the wood oven and ingredients, the main pizza chef Amedeo was also imported from Italy. I went with a couple friends on opening day to check the place out and have a bite to eat. We all loved the pizza and most of us gave the place a 4 out of 5 star rating. My sausage pizza was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend if you're going to get a pizza and don't want the same old Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc. treat yourself to Fuocos Pizzeria Napoletana   12/11/2012

REAL ESTATE LISTINGS INCREASE IN FULLERTON CA DUE TO MORE AVAILABLE EQUITY Month over month, real estate listings increased 11.5% in Fullerton, California. While not unusual for this time of year, it is a change from the steady drop in available homes that we've seen throughout 2012. And, although listings were up compared to September's figures, the number of available houses and condos for sale in Fullerton, California at the end of October, remained 43% below the number posted in January. The jump in active listings was the result of more available equity, as standard real estate listings were solely responsible for the double digit increase.
