Remember the day the new iPod came out on the market? They were expensive, yet everyone had to have one. And, there were none to be had. People waited in line at the Apple store and were disappointed. The same thing happened with the Wii. The price was high, the supply was low, but the demand was very, very high. Homes in Laguna Beach are much the same way. The price was high, the supply was very low, and everyone wanted one. Luckily, times have changed.

The overall supply of homes in Laguna Beach has not changed. Few new homes have been built, but it is the number of homes on the market that has changed. As people have gone into bankruptcy or foreclosure, or simply sold to gather their remaining gains and run, more and more homes came onto the market with deflated prices.

If you have been thinking of buying a home in Orange County, then now is the time to look into homes in Laguna Beach. The economy hit this place awfully hard, and with the average price of a home dropping almost 30%, that means that there are a lot of bargains out there. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of potential buyers, so you have to move fast to take advantage of this buyer’s market.

 This town is small and bordered tightly on three sides by other towns, with the beautiful Pacific Ocean on the other, so there is nowhere for it to grow. All available land has already been built upon, so the prices of homes can only go up at this point. Much like the Wii which was produced in a limited supply at first, the price will maintain and may even go up in the short term.

Only 24,000 lucky people currently live in Laguna Beach and if you want to buy one of the homes in Laguna Beach, there are a few things you need to do. Find a Realtor who knows the area and can alert you to homes that are about to come on the market. Talk with your lender and get pre-approved and have a pre-approval letter in your hand in case you want to make an offer. And, make sure you have a sufficient deposit or be willing to pay cash. These undervalued homes are moving fast and if you don’t have all of your ducks in a row before you go shopping, you won’t have a chance of ever getting in.
