The Laguna Beach market has really changed in the last 12 months with it being one of the hottest real estate markets as seen in the last 10 years.  There is currently a huge shortage of real estate inventory and a strong buyer demand which typically results in higher real estate prices with multiple buyers bidding on the same property.  The condo market in Laguna Beach is no exception to this with currently only 13 condos listed for sale that range from $664,900 for a two bedroom condo in the Terraces community up to $7,499,000 for a three bedroom condo in the upscale Montage Beach Villas community.  If you are new to Laguna Beach there are a couple things to consider when buying a condo here.

First, the most affordable condos are often found in the

One of the most beautiful ocean views in the Village area of Laguna Beach can be found on Cleo Street.  Specifically, 150 Cleo Street offers 3 levels of condos that have some really inspiring ocean views.  The location is at the corner of Sleepy Hollow Lane and Cleo Street on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway.  From this location is just a matter of blocks to the downtown area of Laguna Beach with great restaurants, galleries and boutique retail stores.  This is also the same area as the Main Beach area that tends to be the main hangout spot in Laguna Beach for tourists and locals alike.  Condos rare comes on the market for sale here but there are currently two condos that are on the market for vacation rentals.  Vacation rentals have seen a huge

We recently had a client who was interested in purchasing a condo in the Laguna Lido complex in Laguna Beach.  The listing had mentioned that the condo was on a leasehold interest.  The listing broker remarks on the listing goes on to say that the "Sellers (Lessees) have the LEASE HOLD Interest until 2059". It goes on to say that the "Lessee pays for HOA, Annual Lease fee of $11,643,21. plus Taxes, Insurance and Utilities. At the end of lease Term, Lease Hold Interest reverts back to Lessor."  Our client wanted to get more information on this since they thought they say some other listings in the Laguna Lido that did not have leasehold interest so we did some checking.  After reviewing previous listings in this complex we noticed a fair number of units

There has never been a better time to buy an ocean front condo in the famous Table Rock complex.  Inventory always tends to be very low in this complex due to the small number of oceanfront condos that are in existence here.  Right now, buyers have 4 condo listings to choose from in Table Rock that offer spectacular ocean views in arguably one of the best locations in Laguna Beach.  Real Estate prices start at $2,650,000 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo with 1,136 square feet and direct ocean front views to as high as $4,999,000 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo with 1,371 square feet.  What separates these price points is the location within the complex, size of the unit and condition as far as upgrades to the condos, etc.  3 of the 4 new listings have been on

The Laguna Lido has recently updated their pet policy when it comes to those who are planning to rent a condo in the complex.  This includes those looking to do a long term lease and those looking for vacation rentals as well.  According to several owners in the building the policy does not effect owners who live there as they are still allowed to have pets.  The rule takes aim at those looking to rent at the Laguna Lido as renters are not allowed to have pets.  We recently had some clients who were looking to rent the property for one month in the summer time and were told by multiple owners that the new policy does not allow for them to have pets, only for the owners.

Located on the oceanfront, the Laguna Lido is widely considered one of the top

The Laguna Ocean View condo complex offers buyers a unique opportunity to buy condos that are within walking distance to the beach and can offer beautiful ocean views.  In the last couple of years 5 condos have sold in this complex ranging from $630,000 for a two bedroom, one bath condo to $1,390,000 for a three bedroom, two and a half bath condo.  Upon reviewing the listings in this community it came across our attention that this community is under a land lease that was reported that the "Land Lease runs until March 31, 2058."  Another listing goes on to say that the "Land lease amount of $22 is included in monthly HOA fee of $450.00."  We continued to confirm this amount and several listings from different real estate brokerages have noted in their

There are several streets in Laguna Beach that have some of the most sought after real estate no matter if you are looking to buy or lease a home.  One of the more popular places to find rental properties in Laguna Beach is on Cliff Drive.  The summer rental season has already gone into full speed with many clients booking there summer travel dates.  Many of the popular ocean view units that overlook Main and Fisherman's Cove Beach have already been booked up.  Laguna Beach is a very high season vacation rental destination with hundreds of thousands of tourists visiting each summer.  These rentals are typically leased out as a furnished rental on a weekly basis.

One of the huge benefits of renting a home on Cliff Drive is being able to walk to

The Laguna Lido is one of the most expensive condo buildings in all of Laguna Beach and the best place to find oceanfront and ocean view condos for sale.  Located directly on the sand at 31755 Coast Highway are two stand alone buildings located on both the upper and lower level.  The two buildings are separated by the community pool as pictured below.  Condos rarely come on the market in this complex, especially in the lower level where condos have recently been sold up to $3 million dollars earlier this year.

The Laguna Lido complex is built like a mini resort with a full size fitness room, community saline pool, shower and game room and individual lockers.  One of the best features of the building is an elevator that provides direct access to the

The Creekside condo community is located near the Aliso Creek area in South Laguna and hence gets it's name from the creek the runs directly below the building as pictured below in white.  These are ocean view condos that located directly down to the Aliso Creek beach area and located at the end of Wesley Drive in Laguna Beach.  The condos were first constructed in 1964 and offer two to three bedroom units.  The average size for these condos will be from 1,355 to 1,600 square feet with great orientation towards the ocean.

The views are simply beautiful as the photo below was taken from a newly listed condo located on the very bottom front row and listed for sale at $849,500.  The condo features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths with 1,355 square feet.  I have

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.
