Selecting the Right Laguna Niguel Realtor

Spring is right around the corner and that usually means a boost in Laguna Niguel home sales. The nicer weather draws buyers to the market and with the cut in interest rates, most Laguna Niguel realtors are expecting a pretty decent spring in terms of sales. If you’re a seller or have been thinking about selling your home, this is great news for you. With more buyers in the market, you can hopefully sell your home more quickly and maybe even for more money then you thought.

Of course, the first step you need to take to sell your home in the Laguna Niguel real estate market is to find an experienced realtor who can help you make the best decisions possible when it comes to sales price, negotiations and home staging. You can check out realtors online and learn a lot about their sales approach and style that way.

In the end, it's best to choose a realtor that has your best interest in mind. But beware, some realtors will simply tell you what you want to hear instead of give you the real facts.

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.
