Folks the Beach is where it's at. Just closed escrow on another great beach condo. I have 1 currently listed. I can personally tell you that as summer approaches and the weather gets nicer this is where you want to be buying and selling Real Estate. The old saying Location,Location ,Location has never been more true than now. With very few buyers and mass listings on the market one must go where the buyers feel Safe. The Beach is always safe barring a Tsunami or natural disaster. Their not making more Beach Property unless you live in Hawaii. If you have the means now is the time to buy your property on or near the ocean. Sellers are only going to be flexible for so long. Once the media stops scaring the public on a daily basis, sellers will stiffen up and not be as giving as they are now. When that happens beach property will yet again rise to new heights.

Buyers are out there. What are they buying?

So 6 days have gone by since my last post. Sorry to all of my loyal readers. I have been watching the market very closely in Rancho Santa Fe and I can tell you that there are plenty of people looking to buy Real Estate in Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, La Jolla and all along the coast of San Diego. I see Investors in the Coastal area's buying property now for Summer rentals. It is the perfect time for them to do so. Many times a vacation rental can be a great investment with rents for the summer months commanding 4 times the winter rents. I see many Saavy Investors use what they call a 9-3 split. A 9-3 split is where you rent on a weekly or daily rate for June,July,August and then secure a longer lease for the other 9 months. So if you were able to secure a 9 month lease at a rate of $2500 per month you should be able produce about $2500 per week in the prime Summer months. The trick is getting it out there early. You are much more likely to have a full rental schedule if you are marketing your home now as opposed to later. Of course these numbers very, but these are averages that I am seeing on the Beach.
