Understanding the current Laguna Niguel real estate market is important for any buyer right now. If you blindly begin searching for a Laguna Niguel home or Mission Viejo home without first doing your homework or enlisting the help of an experienced Laguna Niguel realtor, you may find out that you paid far too much money for your new house – or worse yet – that you bought a property with major issues.
Orange County, much like the rest of the country, is no longer in a sellers’ market. Right now buyers rule, and that means that if you are buying a home you have the upper hand. But that doesn’t mean that you should forgo learning the art of negotiating a sales price or find out which property will give you the best return on your investment.
If you want to be a well-educated buyer, check out the Free Laguna Niguel Home Buyers' Reports page on my website. You’ll find great resources for everything you could ever want to know about how to get the best deal in the Laguna Niguel real estate market.

More Interest Rate Cuts Help Laguna Niguel Real Estate Market
Believe it or not the Federal Reserve has done it again. That’s right – they lowered interest rates for a second time on just two weeks. And this time the cut was another .5 point – bringing the total cuts to 1.25 points. This is huge! Not only for buyers in the Laguna Niguel real estate market, but also for sellers.
If you weren’t persuaded by the first interest rate cut to start shopping for a home or to get your house on the market, this second cut should be just what you needed to make you jump off the fence and start shopping for an experienced Laguna Niguel realtor.
Sellers – the spring is historically busier here in Orange County and even though we are in a slow market, this time of year is still a good time to catch a lot of buyers. And with the interest rate cut, more buyers then expected will be joining the market.
Buyers – ACT NOW! The Federal Reserve will most likely not raise the interest rates back for a little while, but you just never know what will happen. Interest rates are really good right now, and with the market still slow, you can get a great deal.

How to Sell a Laguna Niguel Home in December
Selling a Laguna Niguel home during the holiday season can be tricky, especially when you compound the historically slow month of December with an already slow market in general. But just because it’s December and the pool of buyers is smaller than normal doesn’t mean its impossible to sell your home this month. While some people may choose to take their homes of the market for the holidays, most Laguna Niguel realtors will tell you that its far better to keep you home listed then to give up completely. After all, it may be an uphill battle to sell a home in the Laguna Niguel real estate market this time of year, but you have no chance at all if you take your home off the market.
A great way to help make your home more appealing to the scant pool of buyers in December is to really cash in on the warmth of the Christmas season and captivate the visitors you do have with a festive home. From wreaths on the door to poinsettias on the mantle, a festive holiday house can make buyers more interested in your home. The decorations will help them feel more at home in your house and will hopefully inspire them to want to buy before the end of the year.
