There are several Newport Beach homes that are scheduled to be coming soon on the market for sale.  Home buyers now have real time access to these Newport Beach properties with a new coming soon feature that has been added to our website.  What is exactly is a coming soon listing?  Think about any time you have spoken with a real estate agent and they know of a property that will be coming on the market in the near future.  Many of these kind of properties were sold privately before ever becoming public knowledge so our Realtor member association has come up with a way that these can be shared publicly online so everyone has the same access to these properties.

The Newport Beach Real Estate market has been very strong for the past 9 months due to a

Bay Island is one of the premier islands in Newport Beach is the Bay Island community.  Real Estate prices currently start at $5 million and have sold for more than 10 million dollars in recent years.  The island is set up differently that other neighborhoods in Newport Beach which makes it problematic in case you need to get a loan. A real estate agent that has a listing on Bay Island sent me these quotes that help understand the situation here.  It reads "Unlike the financing of the purchase of real property where a lender records a deed of trust against the property as security for the loan, only the stock certificate may be used as collateral.  To protect the Corporation's interests, as well as the lenders, an agreement between the shareholders,

It's that time of the year again when everyone seems to be looking for a furnished vacation rental property.  Most people that call into the office are looking for the months of June & July as these tend to be the most requested and popular months.  August and September tend to be little more affordable than June & July if you are flexible on your dates and don't need to come on any specific date.  One thing to keep in mind is a thing called June Gloom that we have every year in Southern California where there is pretty much a solid month of overcast skies.  The last several years this has occurred in the month of May but this year we have had pretty sunny weather so far so it may hit in the month of June or a little bit later.  Many tourists that come to

Doing a 1031 exchange can be very stressful due to the time constraints you have to locate and close on a property.  The times frames are basically 45 days to identify up to 3 properties and then to close on one of those with 180 days after closing escrow on the previous property.  I have gone through this process several times and it can be really crazy during those 45 days in trying to locate the perfect exchange property.  There are several homes throughout the Newport Beach area that are being marketed by the owners real estate agents as potential 1031 exchange properties.  Of course, a real estate agent can say a property is a good investment but ultimately it's up to the buyer to determine this.

One of the properties noted is located in the

One of the most common requests we get from clients looking for a home is having a main floor master bedroom.  This is especially true for baby boomers who are looking to settle in their retirement home but have concerns about having to go up and down the stairs.  Having a main floor bedroom still allows the buyer to buy a larger home with plenty of room for incoming guests and additional family members.

There are several neighborhoods that offer a downstairs Master bedroom in their floor plans if you know where to look.  Communities like Big Canyon offer large single family two story homes that come with a downstairs Master.  Other great options found in the Newport Beach area for residential single family homes would be the Cliffhaven and Lido Isle

With every down turn in the real estate market we start to see more and more properties thinking creatively on how to sell their home.  One of ways that some listings get sold is to offer some kind of seller financing to help the buyer be able to get a loan on the property.  Seller financing is something that is not typically popular when the market is hot and is normally only seen when homes are taking longer than usual to sell.  The current marketplace in Newport Beach is relatively quiet right now since the months of October through the end of the year is considered the off-season and is normally not a busy time of the year.  Homes do take longer to sell right now so we are starting to see some sellers offer some kind of seller financing to help get

One of the top neighborhoods in Newport Beach is arguably the One Ford Road community.  Nestled near the Back Bay Area of Newport Beach is a very exclusive guard gated community with a variety of individual neighborhoods that offer their own unique style of architectural homes.  What many new visitors to Newport Beach have been electing to do lately is to rent in neighborhoods like One Ford Road to get a feel for living here before they invest in purchasing a home.  This is especially true when market conditions show that the real estate market may be due for a market correction in the next year or two.  Renting a home is a smart thing to do right now in real estate and there is no better place than One Ford Road.

We had a client recently contact us looking for a one story home in the Jasmine Creek neighborhood.  Jasmine Creek is a wonderful gated community in the Corona Del Mar area that is filled with one and two story homes.  The single level properties in this community don't come on the market that often so it's kind of rare to be able to find one available for sale.  They do come on the market from time to time so It's possible to be able to find them.  We also did a search of past one story homes that were on the market that did not sell and were able to locate a couple of properties this way.  Both of these owners said they would be open to selling and offered us a private showing for our client.

Real Estate prices for these one story homes currently run

We get requests from clients who are looking to buy a condo in the Newport Beach area and that are looking for a unit that has a private elevator.  For the most part, these are hard to find since most of the condo buildings in Newport Beach have community elevators for everyone to use.  Only a few select buildings offer private elevators that go directly up to the individual unit.  If you know where to look and have the money to spend then we recommend the following buildings.

First, if price is no object then the condos at the Meridian are a must see.  The condos were built there approximately four years ago and has one of the best locations in Newport Beach situated between the Fashion Island shopping center and the Newport Beach country club golf
