Mandatory evacuation being extended down to Trabuco between Jeffrey and Portola High
Windy and FIRE!!!

- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Fire going around our neighborhood...PS, OH, PP, and BP are the most endangered I think.
For sure. Just like rire risks also exist in North Tustin, Newport Coast, Laguna, Anaheim Hills, etc.
It didn't really move the needle. One of my buyers who is on the waitlist at Cetara thinks it'll help them move up the buyer list as some people have second thoughts.
Buyers don?t care. Unless the fire is burning in front of them, this will be a non issue come November. People will be back to talking about Covid, Trump, and the economy. Look at GP. Selling thousands of homes on toxic soil. Nothing to see, so it must be safe. Short term thinking is the rule.
Most people realize that this is a temporary thing that comes around once every 3-5 years and not many homes have burned in the past few fires in the 2000s thanks to the tremendous efforts of the firefighters.
Because people realize that these fires are temporary and very infrequent...similar to larger earthquakes. They are buying location, schools, and proximity to work and none of those things are changing even if a fire burns a home down (homes can be rebuilt from insurance proceeds). There haven't been many homes that have burned in Orange County with the last 3-4 fires that we've had in the 2000s.

I've posted about fire dangers in Irvine multiple times since 2013. New buyers don't care and neither will future buyers:

Insensitive question - How did the Irvine housing market react to the last nearby fires? Were there any temporary decline in prices? (Currently in escrow with a house with a lot of newly discovered problems and this may just give me another reason consider backing out)
