Newport Beach Real Estate Update - 11/30/09 09:56 AM
This week the median list price in the 92660 zip code of Newport Beach is $1,675,000.

Balboa Island Bayfront Home For Sale - 11/19/09 07:58 PM
As I was looking over my preview list this morning I noticed a home that I had been watching for months, it was being built on Balboa Island.

I couldn't wait to get in and see what the interior looked like, because I was intrigued by the exterior. It's not often I see a plantation style home in Newport. When I do, I always admire them. This home I admire in particular because of it's spectacular location on the Little Island. Lots of folks don't even know about the Little Island, because it's tucked away.

This is the view from the front … (1 comments)

Should You sell your home over the Holidays? - 11/11/09 10:46 PM
YES! You should sell your home over the Holidays. Although you may think that the Holidays are not a good time to sell, you could be wrong.
Take a look at the benefits:
Currently inventory is running low. There is massive buyer demand.  The tax credits avaliable today are getting buyers to step up. Low interest rates are incredible! Extremely low prices. Your home looks its best when it is decorated. Less competition, other sellers are taking their homes off the market. Who knows what will happen in January!!!! Any time is a good time to sell as long as your property is … (7 comments)
