Laguna Beach Real Estate Agent

For those who live in Laguna Beach the mention of a $20 million dollar home is not out of the norm.  In recent months homes have come on the market for well over $40 million and currently go as high as $65 million dollars for a luxury ocean front estate home.  In the last week two new properties have come on the market in the Laguna Beach that also top this $20 million dollar price point for a total 8 properties over $20 Million dollars.

176 Emerald Bay is currently on the market for $20,000,000 and is located on the north cliff at the Emerald Bay community that extends out into the Pacific Ocean.  The home features nearly 7,000 square feet of living space and commands one of the best views to be found in Laguna Beach.  The nice part of these east

What a difference a couple years makes for real estate in the Irvine Cove community.  In the last several months we have two homes in the Irvine Cove community listed as the most expensive homes in Laguna Beach with a brand new listing for $31.5 million dollars making Irvine Cove home to 4 homes listed over the $30 million dollar price point.  Has Irvine Cove become a $30 million dollar plus community?

All of these high end homes are located on the ocean front in the area known as Abalone Point which was originally designated to the Irvine Family.  The home where you will find the $65 million dollar ocean front home was originally one large parcel that was then divided up into 3 lots.  Home sales in the Irvine Cove has been strong in the last 12 months

Everyone from real estate agents to home buyers are talking about the low inventory of housing in Southern California and how frustrating it is to find a suitable property at a reasonable price in today's real estate market.  A lot of times these hidden gems may be out there but not visible on the open real estate market and hidden from being seen anywhere on the Internet.  Sometimes the best deals are those that are on "hold" status for one reason or another.

A real estate agent will put a home "on hold" for a wide range of reasons.  Sometimes seller's will have some kind of an emergency come up and still want to sell the home but are unable to cooperate with showings during a short period of times.  In other cases we see a lot of short sale and bank

What an amazing last couple of weeks we have had for luxury real estate listings in the Irvine Cove area of Laguna Beach.  On March 4th, 2013 we saw the highest price home come on the market in Laguna Beach for $65,000,000 as pictured below. This 17,000 square foot ocean front home has recently finished construction in 2010 and boasts being the "possibly the largest Laguna Beach Ocean Front Estate."

The home was being offered for sale several months back but never officially came on the  market until last week.  The home sits on the ocean front street of Riviera in the luxury guard gated community of Irvine Cove.  In the last couple of years we have seen a surge of construction in this area possibly due to the increasing prices in this community.

One of the best ocean front deals on the market right now in Laguna Beach is located at 32013 Point Place. With a recent price reduction down to $8,750,000 the 5,300 square foot home represents one of the best views for the money in Laguna Beach at $1,650 per square foot. When you consider that ocean front homes in Laguna Beach start at around $5 million dollars for a smaller 2,700 square foot home you start to see the value in this premier trophy estate that is completely turn key and priced to sell.

The home has a secret entrance with a special elevator garage that drops your car from the street down one level with a long hallway leading to your oceanfront home. A state-of-the-art 3-car garage has a special commercial grade hydraulic lift with

Emerald Bay is considered one of the top destinations of local and International buyers looking to invest in the Laguna Beach Real Estate market.  Nestled in a private gated community is the luxury community called Emerald Bay.  Entry level pricing may be shocking to most as homes typically start at the $2.5 million dollar price point with homes going as high as $20 million dollars. 

There have been several new listings in the Emerald Bay community, two of them being priced under $3 million dollars.  79 Emerald Bay is a really unique home that's located on an unusually large lot with a pool that offers privacy from other homes looking in.  The home is located on the ocean side of the Emerald Bay community and just steps to the sandy beach.  The home is

A 2.5 Million Dollar Table Rock condo has just came on the market today in Laguna Beach, California.  For those not familiar with Laguna Beach, Table Rock is an oceanfront condo complex that sits majestically on a cliff that extends out to the ocean.

There are a number of partial ocean view condos that come up for sale in Table Rock in the mid $800,000 range but rarely due the ocean front condos come on the market.  This particular condo for sale is a two bedroom, one bath condo with 1,325 square feet of ocean front living space.

Laguna Shoals is a quiet complex in the heart of the Laguna Village that is situated directly on the water just above Bluebird Beach.  Condos rarely come on the market in this complex since only 6 luxury residences reside here.   As one of the most expensive condos currently for sale in Laguna Beach the condo is well suited for buyer who is looking for a low maintenance residence in Laguna Beach.  The complex is securely gated as pictured below and offers complete privacy from the busy downtown Laguna area.  The condo is currently offered for sale at $4,399,000 and has a large indoor/outdoor courtyard with kitchen, full bar, fireplace and lots of room for entertaining.

The condo is located on one level with an elevator that takes you directly from the

Arch Beach Heights is one of my favorite areas in Laguna Beach.  For starters, some of the best deals can be found here as real estate prices tend to be a lot less than other communities in the Laguna Beach area.  Arch Beach Heights is located at the very top of the hill in the Laguna Village area just south of the main downtown area.  The homes are typically two to three stories with many of the homes offering views of the ocean.  As noted in previous blogs, you will find a high concentration of contemporary/modern buildings in this area.  This is a high density area so homes are typically not located on large lots as much of the square footage of the homes are based on a tall vertical shape of the home.

A new contemporary home has just come on the

We have a lot of visitors to the Laguna Beach area that are looking for a second residence whether it be a home or condo. One of the most common requests we get is to have a place to visit that makes them feel like they are on vacation. For those familiar with Laguna Beach will often ask if they can find a place near the five star Montage Resort so they can take advantage of the hotel's wonderful restaurants and spa services.

Within a quarter mile radius of the hotel are several small condo buildings that fit this criteria. Here is a quick guide to four of
