The sound fundamentals that make up the foundation of an active, strong, and increasing real estate market are still in place. With the Spring market opening up all signs point to another brisk market for this year.
The slowing of the pace of price appreciation is actually a great sign of being able to sustain the market and not have it top out.
1-Leading economic indicators remain strong and are increasing.
2-Interest rates are still very attractive and are expected to inch up over the next year.
3-There are more people who want to buy in the marketplace now.
4-There is still low inventory by historical standards.
5-Builders and mortgage companies are still showing confidence in the market and the ability to continue to perform at high levels.
I am still seeing many homes hit the market with unrealistic asking prices and this has had some effect on the overall pace of sales locally as well as average time on the market.
There is still no evidence of a real estate bubble that many people have feared. The ingredients for a bubble burst just do not exist today. The job base is much stronger through out Orange County than it was in 1990.
Homes that are improperly priced will not see great activity and mostly will stay on the market until the asking price is lowered to reflect true market value. What these homes actually do is help sell the homes that are well priced.

About Keith M. Nichols:
When it comes to Your Money, it pays to know who you are dealing with! I am a Real Estate Broker, not just an agent. I have been selling Orange County real estate since 1989. I truly believe that my clients needs and goals come before all other considerations. You can count on me to give you the information you need to make the decision that is right for you!
I have been a top selling Realtor for over 18 years. While I focus on the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley areas I know all of Orange County. Being a Southern California native, I grew up playing on our beaches, exploring our mountains and canyons. There is no better place that I can think of that would have been a better place to have raised my two kids than right here in Huntington Beach & Fountain Valley. When I talk about how great the schools are and how there are so many activities for both parents and their children I speak from experience. Just like I do when I help my clients with their real estate needs. I know from experience!
