Hey I'm Matt, I'm 22 and I'm looking for first home in Orange County, CA!
I'm looking for a town home or single family, would like to get a duplex but hard to find for my price point. I got pre approved for 400k, and I have down payment and everything ready to go, just wondering if anyone familiar with the area has some advice whether to buy now and get in the door or if its better to have a little more patience and wait for summer and election to be over hoping prices will drop. I've been waiting for a while now and am pretty eager but also don't want to make a bad move. Thanks!!
