The age of the short sale home, at least in the Laguna Beach area, is coming to a close. But that does not mean 2012 will be without its share of opportunities for the bargain savvy investor. Buying in to a home now is of absolute necessity if you hope to get top price for your home down the road. The numbers for unemployment and underemployment continually rise. As people get more in a buying mood, the interest rates will slowly start to increase, so if you want to get locked in to a mortgage that will be mostly principle, then now is the time to do it. But to get the right home for the right price, it will be a lot easier if you choose to trust in a real estate agent rather than do it yourself. Laguna Beach agents, who are experienced in the art of the short sale, can help you past the following obstacles: 1. Putting together the right offer. The short sale opportunity doesn't allow you more than one shot (usually) because competition for these homes is so fierce. The first offer that you make is usually the last before moving on to another short sale possibility. With these possibilities quickly running out, 2012 will be very important. If you want to play hardball with other real estate investors, then you're going to have to come across with an offer that is both reasonable and favorable to the idea of buying a short sale. Not an easy task if you don't know the area and the real estate market inside and out. By consulting with a quality agent, who has a grasp on both of these things, your offer will be seriously considered. 2. Keeping your mind off things. You can drive yourself crazy when waiting for approval on an offer, and since it is often challenging to buy a short sale on account of the other competition, it is important that you don't get too wrapped up in any one property. Instead, you need to move on to the next property and think about something else. A quality agent has experience with successes and failures, and they know how to handle both for the best attitude and perspective. 3. Putting more money in your pocket. Yes, a short sale agent will cost a commission, but the price that is made is well under what he can make for you with a successful offer. And since you don't pay unless you win, it is truly a no lose proposition. Navigating the 2012 real estate market successfully will be pivotal to future profits. Don't leave it all in the hands of chance. Trust your agent to help you succeed.
