Oceanside Condos For Sale

We had a client contact requesting more info on how a lease option would work on a rental property that she had found.  We explained to her that there are several moving parts to doing a lease option as putting a deal together like this takes a lot of negotiations on several fronts.  First, we explained that we need to find out if the owner is willing to sell the home even though the home is only listed for lease.  Once we found out that the seller would entertain an offer to purchase it we asked if he would be willing to do a lease first with an option to buy it within a 12 month period.  The owner said that they would agree to this depending on the purchase price of the home.  Since the property is not listed for sale this is a negotiable number that

One of the latest trends for real estate buyers is buying a home that has been completely remolded.  We started noticing this many years ago as buyers were no longer interested in taking on a project of a home that needed some work.  Savvy buyers are looking for homes that have a lot of upgrades and that are competitively priced as well.   COVID19 has really changed a lot about the real estate market in the last several months.  There are a lot of buyers out looking for homes since interest mortgage rates are some of the lowest that they have ever been.  The biggest problem right now is finding a suitable home.  Because of COVID19 the inventory of Oceanside homes has gone down which causes more buyers to be interested in any new properties that come on
