From TV news to the LA Times, reports are telling us that our real estate market is improving. And while that is true, those of us in Southern California, specifically south Orange County, must keep in mind that homes in our market range in price, on average, from $500,000 to $4,000,000. Eighty to ninety percent of our region is considered the luxury market when comparing it to the rest of California and the nation. The luxury market moves at a much different pace, which is why not all sellers are experiencing this market improvement.

“In Orange County, the average days on market for a home in the $500,000 to $750,000 range is 44, while homes priced from $1.5 to $2 million average 147 days,” explained Doug Echelberger, San Clemente's number-one real estate agent and owner of Echelberger Group. “While positive news is great for the real estate market, you really need to separate San Clemente, and more specifically the Talega community, into micro markets that are different from the general market.”

Real estate markets move at different paces, influenced by a variety of factors that are specific to each area. Markets also react differently depending on the time of year. Consistently, the first five months of an average year are good for all levels of the market. As we start to enter June, each market starts to act differently. The fourth quarter, with school starting up after summer and the holidays approaching, is typically slower.

“With remarkably low interest rates and the likelihood of them falling further, 2019's fourth quarter could shape up differently,” Echelberger added. “All in all, things are looking stable for San Clemente and Talega. We are tracking all of Talega's trends and numbers and we will have a full report on its five-year performance in January.”

From deciphering reports to marketing your home, Echelberger Group’s professionals will help you every step of the way.

RANDOM FUN FACT | Nutella was invented during WWII, when hazelnuts were mixed into chocolate to extend chocolate rations.

In an effort to extend his chocolate rations during World War II, an Italian pastry maker mixed hazelnuts into chocolate.

The final Nutella product was created by his son who decided to perfect the recipe.
