Moving On - New Home/New Life

Divorce is very difficult and taxing for everyone involved. Joint decisions, even conversations, can be tough. But lots of questions about transitioning from one home to the next need to be answered.

I’ve had an inquiry from someone who is trying to decide where to live when the family home is sold. Here are a few points to think about:

1.You are smart to think about where you want to live early so you can see as many options as possible and then make an informed choice.

2.Speak with a lender and become pre-approved so that you know how much money you will be able to borrow. Determine how much cash you will have to make a purchase.

3.Do you want to stay in the same community ? Ask me about other possibilities if you want to explore new locations.

4.Consider all important factors such as distance to work, adequate schools if you have children, and closeness to family and friends.

Moving is never easy under any circumstances. I will be happy to help you to move forward with your future and find just the right new home.

Empty-Nesters

Everyone probably has read that home sales in Orange County and surrounding areas have slowed down in the last few months. Likewise price increases have slowed, too. At the same time, more houses are selling for over a million dollars. Total home sales fell by more than 8 percent in Orange County during the first half of the year. All of this data is interesting but it depends on who you are and where you want to live.

A family with kids in school? Parents or grandparents who want to live near their children and grandchildren? Maybe you're in one of my favorite categories of buyers these days -- "empty-nesters". Don't jump to conclusions. There are several varieties of "empty-nesters" and you may fit into one of them.

Some of them are people working past 65, enjoying life, not thinking about retiring and certainly not looking for a nice front porch for their easy chair. They no longer have to think about schools and backyards. But there are other "empty-nesters" (who don't think of themselves as one) who just want to change lifestyles.

No matter what kind of "empty-nester" you may be, there are a variety of choices out there worth exploring – communities, neighborhoods, and homes that fit any choice of lifestyle. Please contact me to assist with your exploration anywhere in Orange County.
