What a 3.3% Premium Really Means in Brea's MarketTwo-thirds of Brea homes sell above asking price. That 66.7% figure isn't just a statistic; it's a signal that buyers here expect move-in-ready properties and will pay for them.The median Brea home closes at $1,150,000, and the typical sale lands 3.3% over list. That's $37,950 in extra proceeds before we even talk about staging.The Math Changes Above $1MWhen your listing sits in the seven-figure range, traditional staging advice (spend 1-2% of the list price) gets expensive fast. At $1.15M, that formula suggests a $11,500-$23,000 budget.But we've seen strategic staging in Brea work at $6,000 to $12,000 for occupied homes. The ROI calculation flips when you're already in a seller-favored market: you're not creating demand, you're removing ...

 Brea, Orange County, California 92821 The City of Brea, CA is a relatively  small community located in Northern Orange County CA bordering the counties of Los Angles and San Bernardino.  Although most of us who live in this community love the small-town atmosphere, while enjoying some of the bigger-city benefits. Many of us live in this community because of the fine schools, quiet neighborhoods and great location.     Yet few know Brea is also home to major U.S. corporations including ResMae and Avery Dennison just to name a few. Brea's beautiful Olen Pointe is one of our cities major centers for commerce.  Nestled slightly up the hill, just north of Lambert Rd. immediately east of California's 57 Freeway this complex is a dynamic upscale center for business for today's business.  The ...

OK I am back with more information for the FICO Fans.I will start with some FICO history for you.At some point the credit bureaus had archived many many piles of credit reports.  They decided to profile all of these reports to see if they showed any clear distinctions.  There was a total of 1.5 million credit reports complied.These 1.5 million reports were then organized and profiled into 10 piles or "sections".Sections 1 - 8 were organized and profiled as good credit.Sections 9 & 10 were organized and profiled as bad credit.The Sections will now become known as, and referred to as "score cards". By now you should be asking, so what is the difference between the good and bad reports?  And the answer is simple...Score card #9 has a 60 or 90 Day Late included in it's history.Score card #1...

Currently there are 146 Active listings in SoCal MLS for city of Brea CA and there are 43 homes listed as pending sale. At this time it is still a balanced market, but buyer friendly. Real Estate prices could suffer as there is limited supply of buyers. Due to 100% financing demise, it will be much harder for first time home buyers to enter into the market. Many banks are changing their guidelines on daily basis and future loans are going to be FICO driven. Still there are banks willing to lend 90-95 percent of property value if borrowers have FICO score higher than 680. Today Realty and Investment is also offering Mortgage through its mortgage division "Integrity Home Finance".We offer Free Credit report and pre-qualification and will help our clients to find the best deal in the town.

2006 marks as a year of highest number of expired listings in Orange County CA Real Estate since year 2003. See numbers and graph at Expired Listings and Orange County Real Estate Value Normally listings are active for four to six months, a great number of these properties had price reduction from their initial listings price and still did not sell. These numbers are another proof of the slower market and buyer's skepticism .

BREA CA 92821, 92823 ~ Real Estate Market Report As of January 2007 Brea is such a great place to call home. As you know our community of Brea is like many others who are beginning to feel the impact of the slow down in the real estate market. While our area remains desirable, we are not immune to the downturns. Home values in Brea are a little above the mid-range for the County of Orange.  Supply vs. demand varies fairly consistently with surrounding OC communities.  During the low inventory market of 2004-2005 at times our inventory dropped to a low of 29 active units for sale for the entire city.  As of 1/2007 we currently have about a 6 ½ month inventory, 153 units, (single family and condos) for sale in our city.          Most single family homes are priced from $600,000- $1,200,00...
