The Importance of the Ladera Ranch MLS.

by Vincent Bindi on February 20, 2006

Since the real estate market in Ladera Ranch and the rest of Orange County, CA has recently slowed down considerably, the MLS is a must have in the marketing and sales of homes and condos today.  Gone are the days when you could just stick a sign in the front yard and have several purchase offers by the end of the week.

The MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service and is a cooperative arrangement among all licensed real estate professionals.  Here is how it works, a licensed real estate agent will contract with a home owner to sell their home.  This Listing Contract specifies a commission that the seller will pay when the home sells, and this commission is split between the Listing Agent the subsequent Buyer Agent that sells the home to the future Buyer. The Listing Agent lists the home for sale in the MLS computerized database, and then this new listing is made electronically available to some 20,000 other real estate agents throughout Orange County and Ladera Ranch. 

The vast majority of homes and condos listed for sale in Ladera Ranch are placed on the MLS.  The MLS is more powerful marketing tool today than ever before due to partnerships and affiliations created over the past several years with other Internet portals.  Today, when a home is put up for for sale in Ladera Ranch and is listed in the MLS, is advertised in more than 40 major Internet websites.  A partial list of these Real Estate advertising websites are:  Realtor.com, HomeSeekers.com, HomeStore.com, Homes.com, YahooRealEstate, AOL.com,  MYOC.com, OCRegister.com, OCRealEstateFinder.com, LATimes.com and many more… 

Recent independent Nationwide studies has shown that over 75% of all home buyers begin their home search on the Internet.  And usage here in south Orange County and Ladera Ranch is even higher.  The reasons for this are obvious.  The Internet MLS listings often provide multiple color photos, complete address with maps, detailed property descriptions, Tax assessor data and more. As compared to older marketing venues such as Real Estate Magazines and Newspapers, which only contained one photo at best, and just snippets of information pertaining to the details of the home. Plus, Newspaper and Magazine advertisements are notorious fro being out of date with regard to whether the home is still available for sale, where as the MLS and the corresponding Internet portals that it feeds, are updated within a day or two.

In addition, many licensed real estate professional today, work with many potential buyers, and these buyers are typically set up with an email alert service by their Agent.  When a new listing is input into the MLS, these computerized email alert services are instantly notified of the new listing, and if the listing meets the wants and needs of a particular buyer, that new listing is immediately emailed to that Buyer.  This is a very effective and targeted marketing tool that is revolutionizing the real estate industry.

The MLS that is used here in Ladera Ranch is called the SoCalMLS which covers the entire Orange County real estate market and many other cities outside the county as well.  The MLS is a very secure and password protected system.  Today, there are over 20,800 properties listed for sale in Orange County, and there are 273 residential homes and condos listed for sale in Ladera Ranch.  Currently, the Median asking price for a  detached house in Ladera Ranch is $1 Million, and the Median asking price for an attached Condo in Ladera Ranch is  $565,000.

Ladera Ranch House Prices

by Vincent Bindi on December 16, 2005

Ladera Ranch House Prices have increased dramatically since this community first began in the 2000.  Today, the median price for detached houses sold in November now stands at $865,000, as compared to the median price sold in January of $709,000 for a detached house.  This represents a 18% price increase for detached houses in Ladera Ranch for the first 11 Months of this year. 

Currently there are 98 detached houses for sale in Ladera Ranch, with a median asking price of  $1,099,900 and the average days on market is 58 days.  The least expensive house on the market for sale is $580,000 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,400 SqFt house.  And the most expensive home is $5,900,000 for a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath, 8,441 SqFt estate with with panoramic views located in Covenant Hills of Ladera Ranch.

There are currently 41 detached houses in Ladera Ranch pending in escrow.  The lowest price is $609,900 and the highest price detached house currently in escrow is  $3,900,000.        

For the 3rd quarter of 2005′ (July, Aug, Sept), there were 132 detached houses sold in Ladera Ranch.  The median house price was $790,000 and the average dollar per square foot was $370/Sqt .  The average closed sold price was only 2% less than the average asking price for the 3rd quarter, and the average days on market before the sale was 48 days.  These are the traditional indicators of a strong sellers market, even though the market has cooled down substantially in the past 2 months.

Based upon our weekly analysis of the months of inventory for south Orange County, we foresee a slow down in house appreciation for the remained of this year and well into next year.  But, we do not foresee house prices decreasing in Ladera Ranch in  2006′.  On the contrary, we expect a moderate appreciation rate from between 2% to 6% due to:  1.) General lack of housing supply in Orange County, and most all of the buildable lots in Ladera Ranch have been built on and sold.  2.) Even though interest rates have increased slightly and may increase a bit more, these rates are still very low compared to historical standards.  3.) Low unemployment in Orange County.  4.) Housing demand still strong in desirable Ladera Ranch.
