Newport Beach is a place of history. It is a place where Southern California can attribute much of its early development. It was actually one of the first beach communities in this region of the state. As such, the Spanish influence cannot be denied, even today. The Spanish style of home is a popular architectural design that calls in memories of hundreds of years ago when the Old World was just starting to discover the New World. Newport Beach of today owes its ancestors a lot with the broad range of these homes along the Riviera Coastline. Whether you are looking for a small two bedroom or a large estate home, Newport Beach probably has what you are looking for. But just how can you afford to get in to one of these homes? Step One: Watch for the Short Sale Short sales are not typically the norm in the real estate market, but as of late, there are many that you may want to take note of. With a short sale, the property becomes distressed because the homeowner can no longer afford it. Rather than foreclose, the lien holder works with the seller to unload the property at a rate below what is left owed on the home. These short sales present you with an opportunity to get a classic home at a fraction of the cost. And by fraction, that means low fraction! Step Two: Decide What You Will Pay What is the absolute bottom dollar that you will give for the property? Use your bottom dollar number to start the negotiations. Depending on how long the home has been on the market and how badly the seller needs to unload the property, you should be able to get even further reductions on the asking price. As you decide what you should pay, always be willing to walk away, even if it is a home you don't think you can live without. Step Three: Consult with your realtor A realtor can work with you to make sure you're doing everything that you need to keep your buying plans on the right track. You'll have to play it honest with your real estate agent and let him know exactly what your offer is and what you would be willing to counter. Of course, when it comes to short sales, there is not necessarily time to counter on account of their highly competitive nature. So you'd better come at it with that best offer! Step Four: Offer on other properties The worst thing you can do for your short sale success is to leave it in the proverbial hands of one property alone. Keep making offers and forget about them until one day will become your lucky day.
