Where the Tweet Did The Time Go?

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:57:52 -0600

I looked up from my computer and it was 8:15 p.m. Where the Tweet did the time go?

I've been messing around with Twitter the past week, trying to find ways to streamline my Tweets. I've made some progress with the number of people I'm following as well as the number of people that are following me.

My Twitter Grader rating is up to 95%, a substantial increase from a few days ago. TweetDeck has been working out nicely for me. But now I have a serious problem. I am following 729 people. Only 400 people are following me back. Maybe this is a big deal, maybe it's not. I don't know enough about Twitter yet to be able to form any meaningful conclusions.

Here's what I do know. I've made contact with 400 people - the people who either followed me directly or followed me back. That's huge to me. It's probably small potatoes to many of you, but I still find it amazing.

In trying to follow my 700+ new Twitter friends today I realized that I needed some clear cut guidelines. I simply can't read fast enough to follow every one, every day. I don't think I could do it even if I wasn't spending time blogging, doing CMAs, or showing homes.

I came across an interesting site TweetWasters that tracks the amount of time spent on Twitter. It uses a basic formula to figure out by the number of Tweets you do, how much time you're likely to have spent on Twitter. I don't know if it takes into consideration the amount you may be reading. I usually read 10-15 Tweets for every Tweet I do...until I find something I want to jump in on.

My rating on TweetWasters? "My Grandmother uses Twitter more than you do!" Well, if I can connect with 400 people and spend less time than Granny does on Twitter...I must be doing something right.

Gorgeous Light Blanket of Snow Falls on Saddleback Mountain

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:05:41 -0600

Yesterday's winter storm dropped a gorgeous light blank of snow on Saddleback Mountain.

Rancho Santa Margarita and Trabuco Canyon sit on the western base of the Santa Ana Mountain Foothills. In my 40+ years I've never seen it snow in either RSM or Trabuco Canyon, but I always look forward to seeing snow on Saddleback and I'm always out there trying to get the perfect picture to capture the moment.

It doesn't snow very often on Saddleback Mountain and the snow certainly doesn't stick around for any great length of time. To get a decent photo of snow on Saddleback Mountain you need to be ready to move fast and hope that several factors come together.

It needs to be cold...very cold (not a frequent thing in Orange County)
The storm needs to be packed with a lot of precipitation
There is a greater percentage of success if there is a heavy snow at night
The storm needs to blow through quickly so skies are clear enough to see the peaks in the morning
Morning shots require shooting into the sun. An occassional cloud or two off to the side can help with lighting

So, the perfect photo didn't quite happen today. The gorgeous light blanket of snow on Saddleback was just a little too...well...light. So...it's back to the drawing board. Cold rain is in the forecast. Could we be lucky enough to have snow two days in a row?

Social Media Connections, Twitter & Quid Pro Quo Bring Additional Exposure

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:01:25 -0600

I've had an unusually busy last few days. On Friday morning I happened to see a Tweet by my friend Morgan Brown that there was an OC Tweetup. I am fairly new to Twitter and I had no idea whether a Tweetup was an actual or a virtual meeting. It turns out that it can be both. Silly me!

I received the Tweet at 9:58. The Tweeup began at 10:00. There were several OC Tweeple in attendance, so I dashed out of the house and headed for Coffee Bean in Lake Forest. I was excited to see Loren Nason. Loren was kind enough to help me put together my outside blog Rancho Santa Margarita Homes & Lifestyles during Project Blogger a couple of years ago.

My most significant online competitor in Rancho Santa Margarita, AR Member Linsey Planeta, was also there. It was really nice to get to see her in person.

The Tweetup was organized and moderated by Jon Lansner, who writes Lansner on Real Estate - The Real Estate Blog for the Orange County Register. The idea behind the meetup was to brainstorm on maximizing the benefits of Twitter and social media. Attendees brought questions about Twitter and Twitter based applications and shared what had worked for them so far.

Here's what I took away from the the #tworco OC Tweeup:

TweetDeck: There are several options for managing your Tweets. This one easy. I didn't have to spend a bunch of time trying to figure it out. I can organize by groups which makes it much more managable.

BrightKite: A location based social application allows you to see who Tweeting in your area. You can choose to check in at different locations, or you can remain incognito if so desired. I think caution should be excercised for safety reasons, but it is an interesting application.

My Drop Card: An application that allows you to send contact information and networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) via SMS. This application is quick and easy and definitely worth checking out.

The final thing I learned is the ability to create an RSS feed for a Twitter Category / Group. I will now be able to see if anyone Tweets about #tworco...and I will have more than two minutes to be out the door before the meeting starts.

As for the Quid Pro Quo: It pays to be connected with writers and reporters of Newspapers. I got a Tweet from Jon Lansner of the OC Register this morning asking me if I had a listing he could use in a post. Yesterday, a beautiful Sunset Photo that I had placed on Flickr was used by The OC Register's Science Dude, Gary Robbins. I've been told, "I'll scratch your back, if you scratch mine." I intend to do some scratching.

For real estate agents additional exposure is good on a number of levels. As bloggers involved in social media, we are in a position that allows us to showcase our neighborhoods and listings in a way that is groundbreaking. If we have the gJuice flowing our clients will be amazed and impressed by their home's visibility.

I'm excited about Twitter and I'm looking forward to making it part of my marketing strategy for 2009.

Praying for Snow on Saddleback Mountain - Santa Ana Mountain Range

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 02:24:37 -0600

A winter storm is blowing into Orange County and I'm crossing my fingers, hoping that a light blanket of snow will fall on Saddleback Mountain. I am somewhat obsessed with snow. Having grown up in Orange County, CA, I regard snow as a special treat. I associate it with hot chocolate, a nice crackling fire in a quaint chalet, and several days worth of lift tickets.

It has never snowed at my house and I have to admit that I'm a wee bit jealous when I read other ActiveRainers writing about the first snowfall.

Ann Hayden of Wildwood, MO wrote about it in Look What We Woke Up to this a.m.

Steve Lloynd of Woodstock, NH wrote about it in White Mountain First Snow Photos, Beautiful New Hampshire Scenes

Teresa Boardman of St. Paul, MN wrote about it in The First Snow

Modjeska Peak (5496 feet) & Santiago Peak (5687 feet) are the two highest peaks in the Santa Ana Mountains. Together they form Saddleback Ridge, earning their name for their obvious resemblance to a Saddle. Rancho Santa Margarita rest at the western foothills of this mountain range.

Earlier this year I wrote about my quest for a Perfect Snow Photo to use for marketing and my blog. Snowfall is forecast for 3,500 feet and above tonight. I feel the cold in my bones...it is 48 degrees. That may not sound cold to all of you who live in seriously cold climates, but by Southern California standards, it's a huge temperature drop. I had to pull my Ugg boots out from the depths of my walk-in closet. Sandals just aren't going to cut it for the next few days.

Tonight I am praying for snow. Snow that will stick long enough for me to actually get that elusive professional-looking photo that I can proudly use on brochures and my website.

Are Home Inspections Really Needed for Rancho Santa Margarita Foreclosures and Short Sales?

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:37:05 -0600

When buying a Rancho Santa Margarita Foreclosure or bank owned home, does a buyer really need to spend extra money for a home inspection? What if the home is sold "as is, where-is"? The answer is YES!

In all cases you should have a licensed professional evaluate the home you will be purchasing. Whether or not repairs will be requested or made, a local professional, licensed home inspector should be hired for a home inspection.

It doesn't matter whether the transaction is a standard sale, a short sale or an REO / bank-owned sale. A buyer should know up front if there are any existing conditions in the home they are looking to purchase. A home inspection provides a home buyer with a list of repairs that should be made immediately, and notes any findings that might cause additional future problems if not cured.

A home inspection basically provides a buyer with a home maintenance game plan. With the results of a home inspection in hand, a buyer can negotiate with a seller for repairs or a reduction in price, or choose to walk away from the property if he feels there are too many issues with the house.

A local inspector is familiar with homes in the area. He will know which builders cut corners and which building materials were typically used at the time a home was built. He will know what to look for and where.

Rancho Santa Margarita Housing Market Report - November 2008

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:52:08 -0600

SoCal MLS reports that a total of 50 Rancho Santa Margarita homes were sold in November, 2008. That's a 62% increase over Novermber of 2007, when then total volume of homes sold as only 31 and a 7.3% decrease from November, 2006, with 60 homes selling. A total of 85 homes closed escrow in October of 2008.

23 Rancho Santa Margarita Single Family Homes Sold in Nov. 2008:

Standard Sales - 14
Short Sales - 5
Bank-owned / REO - 4

27 Rancho Santa Margarita Condos Sold in Nov. 2008:

Standard Sales - 11
Short Sales - 9
Bank-owned / REO - 7

What does all of this mean and how does it effect the value of Rancho Santa Margaita home values?

Standard home sales are still outnumbering bank owned homes and short sales. The number of closed REO and short sale homes appears to be increasing as more lenders seems to be willing to accept the new lower market values. Home buyer interest has definitely picked up, especially in the lower to mid-range condos and lower end single family residence brackets. While opinions differ about whether or not 2009 will bring a stabilization, I'm see competition at the lower levels as buyers position for their chance to own an Orange County Home.

I predict that homes in the $750,000 and over bracket will still face challenges as there are still issues lending concerns for many buyers who need jumbo loan financing.

Tip for Rancho Santa Margarita Homeowners & Buyers:

Statistic show that nearly one in eleven people are eligible for a VA Loan. Credit score requirements are MUCH lower than those required for traditional conventional financing and VA purchasers can borrower 100%. VA Loans are available through most major banks and may be a way for you buy back into the market, or make that trade up you've been talking about.

Are You Looking For A Way to Get Involved and Give Back in Rancho Santa Margarita?

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:41:46 -0600

Here's a quick and easy way to help others and to give back in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Cox Communications, in conjunction with the American Red Cross, is sponsoring a blood drive on Thursday, December 4th. The drive will take place in the Rio Grande Room from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Do you think you're too squeamish to donate blood? I used to think so too. In fact, I'm still squeamish when it comes to needles. I've passed out on a number of occassions at the doctor's office or at the lab. But I'm older and wiser now...and I have a system.

Eat a light meal before the appointment
Tell the doctor, nurse or phlebotomist that I faint easily
Don't look at the needles or blood
Breath slowly in and out while thinking relaxing thoughts
Drink juice
Take an extra few minutes to lay there and re-cooperate
Stand up slowly and sit back down for a while if necessary

This system never fails me. I used to be embarrassed about my squeamishness but apparently it's fairly common. My son, who's in the military says he's seen some pretty tough Marines go down while they are having vaccination shots administered. Ironically, since I admitted my squeamishness and became able to laugh about it, I haven't had any issues with it.

To register for the Cox Blood Drive tomorrow, call (800) 448-3543. To register for future Red Cross Blood Drives please visit the Red Cross website.

Don't let curtains fall on 2008 without having made a difference in your community!

Buying A Home In Rancho Santa Margarita The Easy Way - 14 Step Guide (Part 1)

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 02:52:35 -0600

Buying a home in Orange County, CA can seem overwhelming and frustrating - especially for first time buyers hoping to snap up a short sale or REO. As with most things, there's both an easy way and a hard way to complete a task. do it. There's a series of steps buyers can take to reduce the hassles and confusion and make the experience both positive and exciting. It's really all about being organized and taking first things first. Simple logic that's highly effective. Here's the plan:

Step 1: Understand the Process - Knowing what to expect and when to expect it will help your transaction go smoothly. This holds true for seasoned investors as well as first time buyers. Ask your real estate agent for a booklet or brochure outlining the purchase process.

Step 2: Understand the Players & Their Role in Your Purchase - Your real estate agent, your loan officer & your home inspector are on your team and will be looking out for your best interest. The seller's agent represents the seller. The Escrow or Title Officers are neutral parties. Deal directly with your team and let your agent handle the others.

Step 3: Know The Reasons it Makes Sense for You to Buy Now - What are your financial motivations? From a financial perspective are you better off purchasing now or would it make more sense to wait a few months? Are you considered a strong buyer (substantial down payment, excellent credit)? Or will you find it difficult to compete when the market turns back around?

Step 4: Define Your Requirements for a Home - Know what you need vs. what you want and what are the areas in which you are willing to compromise. If you found a well-priced home that had 2.5 bathrooms instead of 3, would that be acceptable? How about one that had extra storage space but only a 2-car garage? Broadening your online search might provide additional properties for consideration, assuming you are open to compromise.

Step 5: Determine What You Can Realistically Afford - What is the total monthly amount you can spend on a home? This is where I see many clients having difficulty. By nature we typically want more than we can truly and comfortably afford. Don't wait until you have money in escrow to figure out you've bit off more than you can chew. Know your budget and talk to your C.P.A. and/or financial planner before you begin your search.

Remodel or Not? Before You Sell A Home in Rancho Santa Margarita Read This!

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 21:59:59 -0600

Every November I look forward to reading the annual statistics provided in Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value in home improvements and remodeling. Knowing these numbers allows me to make accurate recommendations to my clients who are selling a home in Rancho Santa Margarita. They want to know, "If I remodel my kitchen will I sell my Rancho Santa Margarita home for more?" or "Is it a good idea to install vinyl windows before I sell my home in RSM, or would it just be a waste of money?"

A few years ago remodeling was all the rage in South Orange County. New homes sales with upgrades galore were a hot market. To keep up with the Joneses, many homeowners pulled money from low-rate equity lines of credit to finance a number of home improvements. At the time the cost vs. value reports indicated that money spent on some home improvements was money well spent. A seller could be reasonably assured that a $15,000-$20,000 bathroom addition or a $75,000-$80,000 second story addition would at minimum be recouped at time of sale.

I don't need to tell you that times have changed. Selling a home in Rancho Santa Margarita is more challenging today than it was a few years ago. For one thing, tightened credit standards have wiped out a nice slice of the potential buyer pool. Additionally, the number of homes on the market, while improved in comparison to 2007, is still considerably higher than it was four to five years ago, especially given the limited number of qualified buyers. In this economy every dollar counts. Make sure that know your housing market before you hire a contractor.

The Other 363 Days - 6 AR Women Committed To Serving Year-Round

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 22:56:33 -0600

In the weeks weeks leading up to Thanksgiving and the holidays most of us begin to take stock of the blessings in our lives. We recognize that even in a time of economic uncertainty, there is much to be grateful for. At this time we have a tendency to want to reach out and help others less fortunate; to give a little more of ourselves and provide a small glimmer of hope for others.

Providing a Thanksgiving feast for a hungry family, or organizing a toy drive during the holiday season are simple things that we can do to help our friends and neighbors who have fallen on hard times. A nice warm meal served on a Holiday will undoubtedly be appreciated, but is it enough? Are we forgetting that there are 363 days that aren't Thanksgiving and Christmas?

This year I challenge each and every AR member to dig just a little bit deeper, and to find additional ways to pitch in and be of service to those in your community and around the world. Make a commitment in 2009 to provide help on a year round basis, not just during the holidays.

During the past year and one-half that I've been involved with Active Rain, I've read a number of posts from AR members who have gone over and above in the service of others. These are people who have demonstrated commitment to their causes over a period of time and who are examples of what it truly means to be charitable.

While my list is in no way complete, and there are many, many more who are deserving of a mention, these are the women that I have come to admire.

These are the women who I have seen demonstrate love, compassion and a sincere desire to make the world a better place on an ongoing basis. These are the women who inspire me.

Terri Visser - Life in the Managua Dump

"Rocky" Turner (Jeff Turner's wife) - Mothers Fighting For Others

Julie Ferenzi - Mothers Fighting For Others

Elizabeth Nieves - Everything I Know I Learned From the Children of Ecuador (Part II of III)

Chris Fisher - Children of Grace - Today is a Happy Day

Kelly Wiley - Florida Keys Children's Shelter Open House

Mary Pope-Handy - Web Women Giving Circle Looking For Recruits To Raise Awareness & Dollars for CARE

I also came across two Active Rain Groups that focus on giving and service to others. There are probaby quite a few more and I encourage you to post them below in the comments section.

I challenge each and every one of you to make a commitment to address the Other 363 Days this year. To put in a little more time, to make a more concentrated and sustained effort, and tighten your belts and give until it hurts.

Rancho Santa Margarita's Las Flores Market Update

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 02:19:27 -0600

Las Flores is an upscale community of 1,339 homes nestled in the soft rolling hills of South Orange County, just north of Ladera Ranch, east of Mission Viejo, west of Wagon Wheel & Coto de Caza and south of Rancho Santa Margarita. There are 14 builder tracts within Las Flores: Avalino, Bel Flora, California Somerset, Greystone Arbor, Magnolia, Sea County, Springfield, Summit at Las Flores, Sundance, Traditions, Veranda, Vista Pointe Estates, Warmington Oaks, and Wyngate.

There are currently seventeen Active Listings reported by SoCal MLS. Of these seventeen, seven are listed as short sales, a couple of which are in default and heading quickly toward foreclosure. Another two properties listed as standard sales indicate that there is a potential for short sale depending on the offer amount.

In the past month (mid-October to mid-November) there have been five homes sold:

Avalino Homes:

19 Willowbrook Lane - 3 Bedroom / 2 1/2 Bathroom / 1700 square feet (closed 1/31/08 for $520,000)
9 Acorn Ridge - 3 Bedroom w/ loft / 2 1/2 Bathroom / 1700 square feet ( closed 11/12/08 for $525,000)

California Somerset Homes:

23 Woodsong - 5 Bedroom / 2 1/2 Bathroom / 2200 square feet (closed 10/23/08 for $662,000
46 Castletree - 5 Bedroom / 2 1/2 Bathroom / 2300 square feet (closed 11/6/2008 for $640,000
39 Castletree - 4 Bedroom / 2 1/2 Bathroom / 2400 square feet (closed 11/12/2008 for $725,000

Las Flores home values have dropped signicantly in the past year, and while the market still flounders, the free fall decline appears to have abated. The volume of closed transactions has increased, although a significantly higher number of these are short sales and bank owned homes. Prices are finally getting to the place where buyers are starting to warm to the idea of purchasing.

Las Flores is slightly newer than some areas of Rancho Santa Margarita and was built at a time when builders offered a wide variety of upgrades and buyers had the money and the desire to keep up with the Joneses. As a result, today's buyers may be able to find upgrades in place when they purchase a Las Flores home.

Rancho Santa Margarita - Cantamar - Neighborhood Report

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:55:34 -0600

The Cantamar tract in Rancho Santa Margarita's Golf Course Area, is nestled against the Arroyo on the east side of Antonio Parkway. The neighborhood is comprised of 83 homes which are one half mile from Arroyo Vista Park, 1 mile from Tijeras Creek Golf Course, and 2 miles away from the Beach Club.

Cantamar was built by Kaufman & Broad in 1999. The two-story, four and five bedroom homes, all with two and one half baths, range in size from approximately 2500 square feet to 2800 square feet. Floor plans for Cantamar are available upon request.

There are currently two homes for sale in Rancho Santa Margarita's Cantamar - both are approximately 2500 square feet, 5 Bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Both listings are short sales:

Rancho Santa Margarita Short Sale Bargains - 1 Bedroom Less Than $135,000

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:50:00 -0600

"I dub this property Rancho Santa Margarita's Bargain Home of November, 2008."

Earlier in November there was a condo on Baya in Rancho Santa Margarita that was listed as a short sale for $149,000. The property is now in escrow but is still accepting back up offers. I will be watching this particular property very closely to see just how low the short sale lender was willing to go to unload the property. If it goes at $149,000 I'll be amazed. I think it will be slightly higher.

But that property is old news now. The new title holder for the Least Expensive House For Sale in Rancho Santa Margarita award is a 650 square foot, 1 Bedroom condo on Via Prada. The price? Just under $135,000. Unbelievable!

One thing is for sure: in the one bedroom condo arena we are getting very close to the bottom of the market. We have now reached the point where investor interest is making a come back. With prices this low a savvy investor can actually make a small return on investment. What a concept! An investment property with a positive ROI (return on investment).

Along the same lines, parents who have children who are full time college students should ask their tax professional and financial planner if it makes financial sense to purchase a bargain priced 2-3 bedroom condo using an FHA "kiddie condo" loan. This was very popular up until a couple of years ago, when ridiculous home prices drove the monthly housing expense through the roof. I think with prices as low as we're seeing them now, it is likely that these types of investors will re-enter the market at any moment.

Rancho Santa Margarita's State of the City Address - "We are well-prepared to face the challenges of tomorrow"

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:08:50 -0600

Rancho Santa Margarita Mayor Neil Blais stressed last Friday in his State of the City address, that despite the state wide economic crisis, the City of Rancho Santa Margarita has a balanced budget and sufficient reserves to weather the storm. At this time, the City reportedly has upwards of $16,000,000 in reserves.

While all that is encouraging in the face of a just-a-matter-of-time-before-its-technically-declared national recession, Rancho Santa Margarita, like most local city governments, will not be immune from feeling the pinch of lost revenue from business closures. Family Nissan, Linens 'N Things and Barbecues Galore have already closed their doors in RSM and Circuit City has declared bankruptcy. There are a handful of other smaller businesses, including Super Suppers, that have closed shop as well.

Sources of state funds, including vehicle registration fees, that are a significant source of the City's revenue are now projected to be much less than the budgeted amount. With Rancho's strong reserves, however, Rancho Santa Margarita's Mayor assures RSM residents and business owners that their "city is in sound financial condition."

The Orange County Register's John Crandall reported that the five member City Planning Commission approved a liquor license for Mexican Food Chain Carmelita's. The restaurant will be situated on the Lake Front at Mercado del Lago. See the complete Register story here. I'm told Carmelita's has a mouthwatering selection of entrees and will be quite welcome in the community.

As for the housing market, the number of sales for 2008 is significantly higher than for the 2007. The market is far less saturated and prices are much more reasonable. There is an increasing number of standard sales versus REO and short sale listings. Have we hit the bottom? Probably not quite yet, but buyers looking for great deals on one and two bedroom condos will find that competition is increasing.

My advice: Now is the ideal time to identify the location in which you'd like to purchase and to make sure you've got your financing in place. If you will be borrowing at a high loan to value, don't wait until the media announces that the market has turned to start your preparations or you may find it more of a challenge to get an offer accepted. Be smart, watch the market, and don't feel pressured to purchase.

Rancho Santa Margarita's Dove Canyon - No New Bank-Owned Properties This Week

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 01:03:32 -0600

Dove Canyon, like most communities in South Orange County has been hit by a wave of short sales and foreclosures. Unlike some of the surrounding areas, however, there have been a number of standard sales mixed in with the special condition sales.

This past week there were three new listings in Dove Canyon - and none of them were short sales or REOs. So what does that mean in terms of market trends? On it's own, probably not too much, but combined with a number of other factors however, it might pay to look a little closer at Dove Canyon. If you're looking to purchase in a beautiful gated community, this might just be the market you're looking for.

13 Greenspring, in the Waterford Crest tract is a beautiful property with a slightly higher price tag than 27 Lawnridge, the last model match comp that sold in June, 2008 for $770,000. The last recorded sales price for 13 Greenspring was $880,000 per SoCal MLS.

6 Club Vista, in the Emerald Crest tract is situated on a single loaded street and has a panoramic view of Dove Canyon Golf Course and the Saddleback Mountain Range. I don't see much in the way of closed sale comps within the past year other than two slightly smaller homes with two car garages and no views. Those homes sold respectively at $720,000 in February and $680,000 in June. 6 Club Vista is listed at $829,870, but is definitely a superior property in terms of location and view. 17 Wakonda, a smaller three bedroom, three bath home, again with no view is listed at $670,000 and is currently in escrow but accepting backup offers. The last recorded sales price for 6 Club Vista was $975,000 in May, 2006 per SoCal MLS.

7 Ravensridge, in the Laurels, is another 3000+ square foot home listed in Dove Canyon. This property has a western view, facing toward Catalina Island rather Saddleback Mountain. There are currently three active listings in this builder tract. 7 Ravensridge is listed at $899,000. The last model match comp, 21 Bell Canyon, sold in October for $840,000.

Please contact me for additional information about Dove Canyon or to see properties currently listed in Dove Canyon.

Rancho Santa Margarita - Community Event - Great Southern California Shake Out

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:11:22 -0600

Next Thursday, November 13th, Rancho Santa Margarita residents can join millions of other Southern California residents in what is being touted as the Largest Earthquake Drill in U.S. History. The simulation is designed to include local governments, individuals and families, schools, businesses, medical facilities, churches and other organizations. I encourage you to take this opportunity to dialogue with neighbors and colleagues in your community. Ask your school-aged children what their schools are planning for the event.

Rancho Santa Margarita is a beautiful place to live. We have a moderate climate, an abundance of things to do, a variety of restaurants, and numerous places to shop. It's also a friendly and social area. Neighbors know their neighbors. But what would we do if we were suddenly faced with the devastation of a disastrous earthquake? Is your Rancho Santa Margarita home prepared for the "Big One?"

California Tesoro - Real Estate Market Update

Kelly Kilpatrick, Broker-Associate (Regency Real Estate Brokers) — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 14:52:08 -0500

California Tesoro is a 194-unit Rancho Santa Margarita housing development built by Kaufman Broad in 1995-1996. There are three models, all of which have 2 car garages:

El Diamante: 3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathrooms, 1306 square feet
La Jolla: 3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathrooms, 1573 square feet
Del Oro: 4 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathrooms, 1801 square feet

California Tesoro is conveniently located in close proximity to Arroyo Vista Park and Arroyo Vista School.

*** Here is an MLS Market Snapshot of homes currently on the market, homes that are in escrow or with sales pending, and homes that have sold in the past three months ***

As of 9/02/2007 there are currently three homes listed for sale in California Tesoro (SoCal MLS). This does not include For Sale By Owner transactions not listed in the MLS.

Four homes have sold or closed escrow in the past three months. (SoCal MLS).

California Tesoro sales statistics appear to be in line with the majority of home sales in Rancho Santa Margarita. Unlike Rancho Santa Margarita's entry-level condominium market, which continues to suffer under the weight of increased mortgage defaults and foreclosures, California Tesoro remains for the time being somewhat stable, having experienced only slight declines in value. Marketing time varies considerably but is 90 days or less in general.
