Boy, these fires that flare up quickly on these Santa Ana wind days are scary! It is terrible to lose your home and all your possessions in a blink of an eye with hardly any warning and it usually happens in areas where there are a large undeveloped hillsides with vegetation that carries the flames and embers quickly to another home development.

Just a few days ago I was asked by someone about current values and my opinions about Crystal Cove real estate. Aside from the anomaly of one recently sold property, selling prices have held slightly above $1,000 per square foot for Crystal Cove homes. In a nutshell, I think between now and the first of the New Year is an excellent time to buy. The new Obama administration has stated the economy is the top priority. What is the foundation of the economy?  The housing market. They will be doing their best to shore up the sagging housing market. As this happens, people will begin to feel more confident about purchasing a home. I think if these things happen, the window of opportunity will begin to close for our local market. By window of opportunity, I mean what Buyers are looking for now... 11/14/2008
