Recession Tips and Tricks for Today’s Urban L.A. Property Market
REAL ESTATE NEWS — Because panic proves to create more harm than the coronavirus itself, the Loft Blog provides news and information on how to avoid incorrect thinking, and instead to take advantage of opportunities created by changes in the economy and society. Unlike a typical economy, where there is more benefit to buyers and sellers across the board, a depressed economy has fewer buyers, along with a larger number of losers who must sell low, giving greater opportunities to the wealthy, plus rewards for the brave who take advantage of lower prices and more bargains in the real estate market. #corona #virus #realestate #losangeles
The best time to sell a Downtown loft: Spring 2018 — For those who are just now thinking of selling due to the panic, OOPS! a bit late it seems, but the good news is that today is likely better than selling in the year 2016, and selling today is also likely better than selling in the year 2022, when downtown urban condo prices are projected be about 7% to 14% lower. Rents will stay about the same over that time. For those who want to wait until the next upside peak, set your Google calendar for around 2028. Of course, there’s no way to guarantee any market timing or pricing, but readers know that the Loft Blog has been the most accurate for the last 10 years regarding Los Angeles real estate market projections. More importantly: To help with today’s real estate market, here are the most helpful hacks that are working today for buyers, sellers, renters, landlords and investors in DTLA today: | Blog Video
Buyers:
Time to start stealing lofts! Place lower offers, below asking price, low-ball offers.
Place offers on pending, on-hold, expired and cancelled listings.
Place offers on foreclosures and distress sales.
Buy the ugliest property in the best neighborhood, and then beautify it (works in good times and in bad). Many Loft Blog readers know this, but they’re too spoiled, so they buy an already fixed up place. This is fine too for those with the resources who would rather spend their time enjoying the beauty of an already fixed-up loft condo or lofty house.
Take advantage of motivated sellers, Mills Act and Savings Guarantee.
Create long-term financial security with an ADU, duplex or other multi-unit property.
Beat out other buyers to hot new listings. The best deals go quickly. That’s why the most successful home buyers and investors don’t wait to see what the crowd is trying to buy. The astute buy before a property is listed to the public, before the prices get driven up.
