#5 Learn why it May be a great time to buy a homeÂ
So, why Oxnard? Well, it's an affordable coastal area, offering more space for your money compared to nearby cities like Ventura. Plus, it's often called a hidden gem for its beauty and slower pace of life, especially near the coast.
Another draw is the variety of shopping options, including national chains and local boutiques, not to mention fantastic seafood restaurants and vibrant farmers' markets.
And let's talk weather – Oxnard's mild climate is a major perk, especially for those looking to escape extreme heat elsewhere in California.
Safety is also a priority, with lower fire and flood risks compared to other nearby areas, making it an appealing choice for families.
For more insights and personalized guidance, get in touch with us – we're here to make your move to Oxnard a smooth and rewarding experience. Check out our website for more information.
#6 Get Pre approved with an excellent local lender Â
lWe have several excellent localenders we can refer you to. There is an exciting program out for 1st time home buyers called CAL HFA. There are even incentives depending on the neighborhoods you are interested in.
#7 Work with an agent(s) who know how to win when submitting your offer!
Sometimes its not always the highest offer that wins.
We worked with a buyer recently in Oxnard and there were 8 competing offers. There were three similar offers to our buyers (in price) and even one that was higher.
Because we were able to communicate effectively with the listing agent, we were able to figure out what items were most important to the seller and their agent.
We then strategically presented the offer so that our buyer won and recently closed on the house!!
"I'm leo. Keziah and Bart Are definitely the best agent Ever. We are first home buyer. A lot of fresh things i don't know. keziah and bart answer every question of ours patiently. They showed us several houses, all of which introduced their advantages and disadvantages in detail. Explain the potential problems very honestly, for example.
We cancelled the offer for the first house. They patiently helped us find the next house, Keziah and Bart Have very good communication skills, and help us communicate with the sell agent in particular, we have five offers competion for this house.
They even offered to take the initiative to reduce the commission paid by the seller to help us get the house. They also gave us a credit of 10% of their commission.
Keziah and Bart They are so nice. Very responsible and very reliable. Communication is very smooth,I am very grateful to have such a great agent." Leo, Google Review, April 2024
