Did you know there are over 5,500 Rancho Santa Margarita Condos in 36 Condo Complexes here?

This is the ONLY Place You Will Find this Complete Rancho Santa Margarita Condo Guide…

It is a lot of information to go through but I feel it is important enough, I took an enormous amount of time to put it together for you, so after you buy, you don’t say later… I wish I would have known.

I believe knowing all your choices will help you make the best decision for you! You should know there are 36 complexes and a total of 5,637 Rancho Santa Margarita condos built here.

I understand the significance of this decision for you. It’s one of the most substantial investments individuals typically make in their lifetime. Ensuring that you obtain what you desire for your hard-earned money and making a financially prudent investment should be prioritized. This is pivotal not only for enhancing your quality of life but also for making a sound financial choice.

Here, yes, you will be able to view all Rancho Santa Margarita condos currently available for sale. But, so much more than that, what you can’t see in choices of what could be possible. This is the 411 on everything you might want to know about every single choice that could be yours.

One more thing, if you are looking at condos over $800,000, I want to encourage you to please include looking at smaller homes unless the ease of condo living is top of priority for you. I have seen some really nice 3 bedroom homes sell and considering some only have $81 HOA, you get a home and a driveway. It could be a better investment because HOAs are generally not tax deductible. A larger portion of your monthly payment will be allocated towards building your investment capital. Something worth considering and thinking about.

Section 1 – About Rancho Santa Margarita and link to search all condos and townhomes currently on the market for sale

With a condo or townhome in Rancho Santa Margarita, you’ll get the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you have chosen an excellent location with great amenities. See here’s a blog on my top 5 reasons why Rancho Santa Margarita is a great choice.

Warning Buyer Beware…. I want to give you one heads up here

While you are looking for condos, when browsing through the available condos where ever you are browsing, what is listed as the size by square feet is often not the actual square feet! It’s one of my huge pet peeves because I think it is deceptive and it happens way too often. For example the builder will say the size is 1329 sq ft and the listing will state it with a size of 1449 sq ft. We have no control over the data another agent puts in. I personally always check the records of recordings when it was built to verify. When I show homes I will point out discrepancy so if I am not your agent, you need to do this, many agents don’t pay attention to this. There are a few reasons I believe why this is important, you might overpay thinking it was bigger or you might make a different choice if you knew.

Section 2 –

Don’t Regret Your Choice… Make a Choice of What Condo is Best for YOU.

Consider Your Desires and Needs… To Know All Your Possible Choices and Smart Financial Decisions… They Matter!

Sometimes, I know with so few condos available for sale here in Rancho Santa Margarita, it can limit your ability to know what your possible options could be. I want you, to make the best choice for you, both to suit your want list and your financial range.

For that reason, what I like to do with my clients is, send them a list of Rancho Santa Margarita condos and townhomes previously have sold over the last few months. You can preview them from the comfort of your own home to see the variety of condos that have previously been available, to get an idea to gauge what could be out there in the future for you. Yes, they have already sold, however this is super helpful with your search in finding what is best for YOU!

Here are the advantages it gives you and why it is also a super valuable tool!

1. You can see the value of what the condo sold for versus the price you are looking at. I can be specific and target only like-for-like, or all other condo or home options. The price a condo is listed for and the price it sells for are not always in sync. This can guide you to make the best offer to your financial advantage and the best choice for your tastes and budget. Of course, if you are my client, we will discuss it too but I feel it is important to show you the facts because knowledge is power. Real estate is most people’s biggest investment, make a good one. Both in the purchase and investment, the differences can be thousands to hundreds of thousands depending on circumstances.
2. You can see the condition in which these sold. For example, if you are looking at one not upgraded, you see the different price points of what an upgraded one might sell for. Of course, the situation might be vice versa. You may choose to wait until a more upgraded one comes on the market because you may not want to bother and/or may not be a good financial decision to brunt the cost of the upgrades.
3. It helps you narrow down your personal preferences by giving you an idea of the different floor plans, sizes, locations, and/or designs available.
4. It gives a broader perspective of what may come on the market if you have the time to wait.
5. The good visual perspective of what the condos and/or what other complexes offer.
6. It gives you upgrade and decorating ideas 😉

If you are a first time home buyer…

When looking for a condominium in Rancho Santa Margarita or nearby areas, it is crucial to be aware of the corresponding property taxes. While most of these condos do not have Mello roos, if you do not understand the property taxes I highly recommend you read my blog on Everything you need to know about Property Taxes, Mello Roos, and Special Assessments. Some of the surrounding areas can have Mello Roos, and this can make a difference on qualifying for the loan. If you do not understand how this plays a part of your qualifying for a loan and/or your payment, please feel free to ask.
