Laguna Beach Homes

Things have really changed with the Laguna Beach real estate market.  Sellers are becoming more and more willing to work with buyers with the sale of their home.  We have noted before that lease option properties are becoming more and more popular as home buyers are electing to rent a home first before they decide to buy.  Having that "option" to purchase at a later date is very appealing to a lot of Laguna Beach home buyers.  As a twist to that, we are starting to see sellers willing to carry back the entire first trust deed note and do what we call a seller carry back.  A newly listed ocean view home has just come on the market for $3,450,000 where the owner is willing to carry the 1st trust deed.  What this means to a buyer is that the owner of the…

Rarely do homes in the Park Avenue Estates area come on the market so when a new home comes on the market a special attention is paid to these luxury estate homes.  Currently, there is one Park Avenue Estates home for sale in Laguna Beach and priced at $3,995,000.  Since January of 2010 there have been two sales in the Park Avenue Estates area with another two homes that were listed for sale and then were taken off the market.  The great thing about this area is it's great ocean views and close proximity to the beach.  Also, you are within walking distance to Thurston Middle School here in Laguna Beach.  You will also find a great community park and many hiking trails nearby.  If you are looking for a great location with nice ocean views and your budget

We love the history of Laguna Beach and the original homes that were built here in the early 1920's.  Yesterday, a wonderful historic beach cottage came up for sale that was built in 1926 and is located in the Laguna Village area listed for $949,000.  If you love historical homes then Laguna Beach is your town!  Currently, there are 79 historic homes for sale that were built before 1950 with a mix of beach cottages, spanish colonial, mediterranean,tuscan style and ocean view homes.  Most of the small beach cottages will be under 1,000 square feet and typically have two to three bedrooms.  Parking is also a premium in Laguna Beach with most historic homes having a one car garage is a luxury.  For more information on historic Laguna Beach homes for sale…

With the current home prices in Laguna Beach well above the $600,000 range for a single family home it makes sense to look for a home with two homes located on one lot.  Finding a well designed ocean view home that has two homes on one lot can be even harder to find.  A newly listed ocean view home has come on the market yesterday that offers both a well designed floorplan and architecture with ocean views from the top level unit.  The property is located in the South Laguna Village area which is known for it's unique architecture and close proximity to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  South Laguna Village is located in the heart of Laguna Beach close to downtown Laguna Beach shopping and restaurant area.  Home prices in South Laguna

Temple Hills is one of my favorite areas when showing ocean view homes here in Laguna Beach.  Temple Hills is situated on the hillside that overlooks the ocean and the main beach here in Laguna Beach, California.  The homes are typically graded down the hills side so from the street they appear to be single level or two story homes.  Some Temple Hills home owners even has pools and large backyards so don't let the street view fool you.  Home prices currently range from $950,000 to $4,650,000 with 15 homes on the market as of today.  There is one short sale listing as well in Temple Hills listed at $1,890,000.  If you are looking for a great ocean view home in a well established area in Laguna Beach then I highly recommend the homes for sale in Temple
