As the calendar turns to a new year, it feels like the start of a new season—a fresh opportunity to set our sights on excellence and serve our community with renewed purpose. Here at Major League Properties, we don't just look at the year ahead; we pause to reflect on the journey that brought us here. It’s been a truly remarkable year for Southern California sports—from the Dodgers' incredible back-to-back World Series victories to the Rams' deep playoff run and the Lakers' rich history. This "City of Champions" mentality, where dedication and teamwork lead to unparalleled success, is the very spirit that drives our real estate team.
It is with immense gratitude and a deep sense of humility that we share a remarkable milestone from the past year: in 2025, our team achieved over $130 million in sales volume and, more importantly, had the profound privilege of serving 155 families. This achievement is not merely a number; it is a testament to the trust you place in us and the dedication of our entire team. Just as in baseball, where every win is a team effort, our success is a direct reflection of our shared commitment to our core values.
The Major League Mindset: Excellence Rooted in Service
For me, the transition from the baseball diamond to the real estate field was seamless because the principles of success remain the same: teamwork, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Our "Major League" mindset is built on the foundation of our mission: Serving our community’s best interest in real estate and life with an authentic client care, a commitment to excellent representation, and a passionate drive to lead, guide and protect our clients at all times.
The 2026 Season: A Shifting Market and New Opportunities
As we step into 2026, the Orange County real estate market is signaling a significant shift—and it’s one that brings exciting news for buyers and sellers alike. For the past few years, the market has been defined by rising interest rates. However, we are now seeing a positive change: interest rates are beginning to trend downward. This shift is a major catalyst, injecting new energy and opportunity into the market.
• For Buyers: Lower rates mean increased purchasing power and more favorable monthly payments. The market is beginning to thaw, offering a window of opportunity to secure your dream home with more confidence.
• For Sellers: The influx of motivated buyers, drawn back by better financing options, means your property will be entering a more active and competitive environment. Strategic pricing and presentation will be key to capitalizing on this renewed demand.
This is the time to partner with a team that not only understands the nuances of the local market but also operates with the discipline and strategy of a championship team. We are positioned to help you navigate this shifting landscape, turning market changes into personal victories.
Ready to Play Ball in 2026?
Whether your goal is to buy your first home, sell a long-time family residence, or simply understand how the new market conditions affect your real estate portfolio, the Major League Properties team is ready to serve as your trusted advisor.
We look forward to another year of serving our community, guided by our faith and committed to your success.
