If you are in the market to buy a home but looking to leverage your cash you may want to consider seller's who are open to doing a seller carry back.   What exactly is a seller carry back?  Instead of going through a traditional mortgage to buy a home the seller of the bank becomes the bank, in essence, and provides the buyer with an interest rate and terms for the amount that is to be borrowed.  Typically, a certain amount of down payment will be required in order for the seller carry back to work, in most cases this can be anywhere from 10 to 20% of the purchase price.

One of the most common requests we get from out of state visitors is a view of the ocean.  Being connected to the ocean is something we take for granted when living here in Laguna Beach.  For those not used to seeing the ocean on a daily basis the importance of owning an ocean view property is at the top of their list.  If you are in the market to buy an ocean view condo and have a budget up to $1 Million dollars then you can either find an ocean view home or a nice condo.  Ocean View homes under $1 million will be on the smaller side and will probably need a little bit of work.  If you prefer a more turnkey living then buying a condo may make sense.  You will find a lot of ocean view condos under the $1 million dollar mark with various bedrooms and square…

What a difference a couple years makes in the Laguna Beach Real Estate market!  What will happen in 2012 is up in the air but with sales up 19% last year many speculate that we have hit the bottom and the time to get the deals is now!  While this is still a buyers market many sellers are offering creative financing to help buyers make offers on their properties.  Sellers who own their homes free and clear have the luxury of offering seller carry backs for the first note position.  This is a huge selling point and buyers don't have to go through the traditional mortgage route in order to buy the home.  Seller Carry Backs are not new but are seen more in a down market.  We constantly watch the market here in Laguna and was excited to see a new ocean view
