Laguna Beach offers some of the most expensive real estate for sale in Southern California and owners who put their home on the market know that their home must be in good condition in order to get top dollar.  There will occasionally be opportunities in the Laguna Beach market for listings that need rehab renovation to them.  The kind of rehab needed will vary depending on the property but typically these are excellent properties for those who don't mind working on a project.  

A new ocean view listing has come on the market in the Temple Hills neighborhood and is being advertised as a rehab opportunity.  The property currently features 2,100 square feet but has plants and approvals from the city of Laguna Beach to add up a 450 square feet addition.

Ultra Contemporary is often a phrase used for modern homes that are done to the extreme. Laguna Beach is truly the meca for contemporary style homes that range anywhere from soft contemporary to an ultra design.  Due to the natural topography of the hillside in Laguna Beach a large majority of these stunning architectural homes will have views of the  Pacific Ocean.  The sandy beach and gentle waves are a perfect backdrop for these properties that are located in one of the most prime locations in all of Southern California.

The price of real estate doesn't come cheap for these types of homes as land is very expensive in Laguna Beach.  The cost of building the home also has to be a consideration as construction costs tend to be very high in this area.

The Temple Hills area in Laguna Beach has just got a lot more expensive due to one of the new listings located at 2095 Temple Hills.  I had the opportunity to preview this nearly $12.888 million dollar home and the home is very large at 7,000 square feet.  The views are very interesting as it looks down the canyon area on the south side of the Temple Hills area and offers a private driveway down to the home with direct view of the ocean.

The Master suite is located on the upstairs level with main entertainments spaces located on the entry floor.  Downstairs features a theater room, workout room and plenty of room to relax.  The home was nice but I was a little shocked by the price considering most homes in the area normally sell between $2,000,000 to

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.
