Laguna Beach is home to many historic residences as the city was one of the hot spots for vacationers as early back at the turn of the century. Since the city has many picturesque coastlines and secret coves and beaches, Laguna Beach has always been a destination city for those looking to relax and enjoy the views. Often times, vacation residences were built as small weekend retreat homes which were easier to maintain and often adequate for the mini vacation.

Laguna Beach estate homes are can be found in many different areas of Laguna Beach but if you are in the market for a luxury estate home in a gated community we recommend the following neighborhoods: Three Arch Bay, Emerald Bay & Irvine Cove. 

First, Three Arch Bay is a great place to start.  The community is located in the South Laguna area and features homes located on both the east & west side the freeway.  Commonly referred to as "lower" and "upper" Three Arch Bay with various price ranges depending on the size and view, proximity to the beach and the views.  The inventory of homes is really low in the Lower Three Arch Bay, especially for four bedroom plus ocean view properties.  The great thing about Three Arch Bay is the easy walk down to the

Laguna Beach topography lends itself to have many wonderful areas and streets that have great ocean views.  Home buyers looking for an ocean view property should first get familiar with the different areas in Laguna and then narrow down their search from there.  Those looking for a great ocean view street that is also beach close and within walking distance to the beach should consider the Coast Royal area of South Laguna Beach.  The Coast Royal area sits right above the Aliso Creek Beach area to the south and has some of the best ocean view streets in all of Laguna Beach.  One of the more popular streets to find these homes for sale is the street "Holly Drive."  Holly Drive is the 2nd to highest street in the community that has commanding views of the

One of the most sought after neighborhoods in the Laguna Beach area is the community known as "Arch Beach Heights."  One of the main reasons why this community is in such high demand is for the amazing ocean views and the relatively low prices you will find in Laguna Beach.  Keep in mind when we say "low prices" we are already acclimated to the higher prices you will find by the beach in California and home buyers from other parts of the country would not consider these as "low prices."  Currently, prices range in Arch Beach Heights from just under $700,000 as go as high as $3 million dollars with all homes listed as standard sales with no short sale listings.  A lot of the price difference is based on the degree of the ocean view and the size of the

The Laguna Beach Real Estate market is heating up and prices are starting to increase!  This is good news for home owners in the Laguna Beach area as record low inventory of homes is spurring the market forward.  This is a good and bad for buyers who have been thinking about getting back into the real estate market.  The good news is that this is a sure fire sign that now is the time to buy before prices escalate even more as the Laguna Beach market has always been in high demand.  The bad news is there is little to no homes on the market for buyers to choose from causing a multiple bidding situation amongst buyers when new listings come on the market.  We had a client request a 3 bedroom single family home in the South Laguna, Laguna Village and North

If you are in the market to buy a home but looking to leverage your cash you may want to consider seller's who are open to doing a seller carry back.   What exactly is a seller carry back?  Instead of going through a traditional mortgage to buy a home the seller of the bank becomes the bank, in essence, and provides the buyer with an interest rate and terms for the amount that is to be borrowed.  Typically, a certain amount of down payment will be required in order for the seller carry back to work, in most cases this can be anywhere from 10 to 20% of the purchase price. 

Most of it depends on the sellers motivation and the amount of equity the seller has in the property.  If the property is owned free and clear then you will have more negotiating room
