The text that accompanies your listing as it appears in the Costa Mesa MLS listings is called upon to do more heavy lifting than you might think. If it reads something like: THREE BEDROOM ranch style Costa Mesa charmer with 2 ½ baths, attractive kitchen, and fully landscaped backyard… —then it will only be serving half-duty. A blurb like this does succeed in emphasizing basic nuts-and-bolts details, but every Costa Mesa listing already includes the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and the rest. What’s missing is the story part of the story—the human element that strikes a chord with a reader’s own personal experience. It’s the pathway to emotions that astute marketers strive to reach. Successfully employed, it adds power to any Costa Mesa listing. One

With home prices and interest rates on the rise, you’re likely to assume that the cost of that next Costa Mesa home you’re thinking about buying has made it a financial stretch—especially compared with “the good old days.” But news stories tend to omit the effect of rising incomes and actual inflation on the real cost of a home in today’s market—which turns out to be something of a bargain! A recent calculation may not hold true for everyone, of course—nor does it apply to the cost of every Costa Mesa home—but the details make sense when you think about them. The comparisons are from a study by Zillow Research on housing affordability across the U.S. Researchers were looking into how much havoc the rise in U.S. mortgage interest rates has wreaked on

The experts seem to have gotten it slightly wrong. Costa Mesa real estate observers always expect a surge in activity when the spring buying season gets underway—an annual phenomenon that’s frequently accompanied by an uptick in prices paid. Because of optimism about the national economy and the ongoing nationwide shortage of homes for sale, a continuation of last year’s gradual rise in residential prices had been what the experts expected. Last week, if CNBC’s Realty Check has it right, those predicted “gradual” price rises took an abrupt lurch upward. “Home prices just took the biggest jump in four years” was the headline, backed up by the new numbers: a surge in March’s U.S. median home prices of 8.9% compared with last year. Costa Mesa homeowners

“Circumlocution” —the hefty word for “beating around the bush”—describes what the national

real estate news feeds have been practicing for a while when it comes to the state of the marketplace.
Until recently, most analysts seemed reluctant to call this spring’s U.S. lineup a “sellers
market”—perhaps because the phrase might discourage would-be buyers. That began to change last
month.

As the week came to a close, Costa Mesa homeowners who’ve been putting off their own decisions
about whether to list their properties could find ample reasons for acting. Not only was that “sellers
market” label showing up more often, but a host of supporting reasons had appeared in month-end
reports:

Compared with the last quarter of 2017, the percentage of

Costa Mesa real estate agents are like everyone else when it comes to Easter Sunday. There is the holiday part, the spiritual part, and the kids-searching-for-hidden-Easter-eggs part. The day can also serve as a sort of mental signpost that reads “Spring is here!” (or something like that). When I think back to major events that happened around this time in years past—like memorable spring vacations—Easter is usually the clearest mental reference point: This happened just before Easter or that happened a couple of weeks after Easter. I bet I’m not alone in that.

But for Costa Mesa real estate agents, this time of year has some other, distinctly professional overtones. It’s the time of year when keeping a clear calendar becomes more necessary than
