Hello Tanya, I'm Bob Phillips. I have been selling real estate in Lake Forest since 1976, and have literally watched it grow up. You can use the search page I've linked below to help you find properties, or you can also do it the old fashioned way, by giving me a call or an email - both linked in my profile - just click on my smile.

Here's the bad news. Prices have been nudging up slightly since February 1st of this year, and while things are usually slower over this next 3 months, I doubt that prices will fall during that period. Once next January 31st has passed, it will be another "Katie! Bar the door!" market, just like it was earlier this year, with multiple offers on ALL the properties in Joe's price range - with a resulting further nudge upward, of prices.

Your best time to buy in this area is NOW - over this next 3 months - before the flood of buyers hits the market again, next February. Please give me a call - I am available to work with you today!

Tanya, At this tyime there isn't anything in a detached house for under $300,000. They a re a few that come on the market every once in a while but they are gone quickly. The best thing is be ready to jump on it the first day it comes on the market., to do that you need your loan in place and agent that knows you. You have to be active in this process to make sure you can get a house.

Hi Tanya,
There are exactly 3 available townhouses tonight under 300K. No detached homes. Not likely to happen. There is one home at $389,900 that is the lowest price for detached in Lake Forrest today! Is there a reason you need Lake Forrest in particular? Your options are Go into a nearby city that is priced where you want,
Go into a townhouse in Lake Forrest or maybe go up in price if you need detached. You can search listings on my site without entering name and number til you are ready for that.
Best of luck to you!

Hi Tanya,

There are a couple townhouses with 3 bedrooms....but no single family homes. I'm sorry! If you are open to condos or townhouses....shoot me an email and I can send you some listings.
