Is now the right time to buy one of the many Laguna Niguel Condos for Sale?

Is now the right time to buy one of the many Laguna Niguel Condos for Sale?

Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2022

As I’m sure you know the Laguna Niguel Real Estate Market has shifted dramatically from just a few short months ago. For some, it is a great time to buy a Laguna Niguel Condo for Sale, whereas others are in a “wait and see” mindset. Let’s examine some of the positive as well as negative factors that are coming into play for Laguna Niguel condo buyers:

POSITIVE

  • Inventory levels in Laguna Niguel are up 100% since the beginning of the year. Buyers now have more Condos in Laguna Niguel to choose from with less competition
  • Intense bidding wars are a thing of the past. Unless a Laguna Niguel Condo for Sale boasts unique features (view lot, loads of upgrades) it typically is selling at or slightly above the list price
  • Price reductions occur now on 1 in every 3 listings. Gone are the days where a Laguna Niguel Realtor can overprice a basic condo listing and still expect it to sell with multiple offers
  • We are seeing more Laguna Niguel Condo Sellers be open to a credit for closing costs and or a rate buy down, to help get your rate back into the 5’s.

NEGATIVE:

  • Interest rates have nearly doubled since the beginning of the year. We went from rates in the low 3’s to the low 6’s due to the fed trying to combat record inflation
  • The average value of Condos for sale in Laguna Niguel Ca is up almost 40% since 2020
  • The stock market has officially entered a bear market (down over 20% from the peak). This is shrinking the size of down payments which in turn makes it more difficult to quality for a mortgage
  • Overall buyer sentiment is low. A lot of people incorrectly chose to sit on the sidelines late last year when they could have bought a Laguna Niguel condo for sale for 10-15% less with a 3% interest rate.

So is now the right time for you to buy a Condo for Sale in Laguna Niguel? It all depends on your cash on hand, loan pre-approval amount and living situation. Rents in Laguna Niguel continue to explode and can increase by as much as 10% a year. Whereas your mortgage on a Laguna Niguel Condo for Sale is fixed for 30 years.

Let’s chat about your exact situation and see what makes the most sense for you. My team has sold countless Condos for Sale in Laguna Niguel and over 600 properties in the past 15 years’ time. We have 200+ 5 star reviews across Zillow, Google, Yelp & more.
