san clemente: The Best Buy in San Clemente
- 10/27/08 04:07 PM
When I moved to San Clemente an Ocean view was a dream I had from my apartment off of Pico Ave. Today a first time buyer can buy this ocean view home for about the same as rent. At a listed price of $375,000, some lucky homeowner is going to walk out on their patio everyday, and say "Wow!" This is not a stripped down fixer. This home has many upgrades, and a large greenbelt yard outside. Give me a call for more information on this spectacular price. Call (949) 677-6315 for a private showing, or email me at Contact@BlueTideRealty.

san clemente: What's to become of the land west of Marblehead?
- 10/02/08 10:45 AM
I am refusing to call it Marblehead Coastal, because I don't believe that the current plan will materialize. I was hoping, but the collapse of Lehman Brothers (one of the principle backers of this project), and the recent bankruptcy filings in the developers arena, seem to indicate this project is on hold for now. It has been on hold since 1984! A short history of the area west of Marblehead. In 1984 we were told as homeowners in the new community of Highland Light in Marblehead, that there were 1000 homes to be built across the freeway. over the next 2 (0 comments)

san clemente: Save Trestles
- 09/23/08 07:47 AM
Over 6000 people crowded a hall at the Del Mar Fairgrounds to listen to opponents and proponents of the 241 toll-road extension. The issue was settled by the California Coastal Commission, a resounding NO!, but this heated battle is far from over. It's now the Federal Governments chance to get involved in yet another local issue. The Transportation Corridor Agencies which tout themselves as stand alone agencies, while using our tax dollars to maintain the roads, appealed the Coastal Commission decision to the Federal Commerce Department. This public hearing was to listen to the arguments from both sides, but is anyone (1 comments)
san clemente: New Ocean View Listing In Ocean Hills, San Clemente
- 09/23/08 05:44 AM
Every once in a while I come across a great value in San Clemente. Who hasn't dreamed of waking up to an ocean view from the master bedroom, or swimming a year round heated pool. The price tag for these properties are typically in the $800,000 plus market. I have found a property that fits the bill for primary residence, second home, vacation home, vacation rental, and yearly rental property.

san clemente: Courtney's Sand Castle, a park for the Disabled in San Clemente
- 09/23/08 05:24 AM
In 2001 a park for the disabled was proposed in South Orange County. In 2002, San Clemente agreed to help build this park named "Courtney's San Castle", after the 4 year old girl who inspired the much needed park. In 2007 the grand plan for this park was unveiled with much fan-fair to the San Clemente City Counsel.
In 2007 Sun Cal properties was to contribute $600,000 toward the completion and help build the park. Sun Cal is no longer in much of a position to help build a park, much less finish the grading they started over two years ago. (0 comments)

san clemente: Ocean Hills is San Clementes most affordable Ocean Views
- 08/06/08 01:14 PM
Many real estate agents in the southern Orange County area get the call for an affordable ocean view property in San Clemente. It would be great if there were a community with ocean views, a couple of pools, a clubhouse with a BBQ area, and throw in a golf course to boot! All of this on an FHA (Federal Housing Administration), or VA loan. Not Possible? Why Ocean Hills?

- 08/06/08 11:34 AM
On March 18, 2008 the Sun-Cal project took a big leap forward. A big keystone in the project has been the bridges that span the canyons that stand in the way of the Avenida Vista Hermosa proposed route. Sun-Cal had new signs of life as they continued to work on the project after a long period with no progress on the project. This is what the press release stated: MASSIVE ROUND-THE-CLOCK CONCRETE POUR IS COMPLETED FOR 400-FOOT-LONG BRIDGE AT MARBLEHEAD COASTAL IN SAN CLEMENTESan Clemente, Calif.

This is the perfect market in San Clemente, Dana Point and all of Southern California for First Time FHA (Federal Housing Administration) homebuyers.

With home inventory up, prices down and favorable lending, buyers are able to grab great deals. TIP: You (0 comments)

san clemente: San Clemente bank owned ocean views are hard to find.
- 08/01/08 04:55 AM
San Clemente is suffering, or should I say "Surfing"? You want a bank owned or lender owned home in San Clemente...with an ocean view. Not likely to happen at this time! This home request has been the call I get once a day. My daily answer is that "they stopped building beaches some time ago, and the ones we have as popular as ever".
There are inland communities' with-in reasonable driving distance from the ocean that offer incredible amenities and even offer newer architecture and great shopping. The communities of Talega, Forster Ranch, and Rancho San Clemente are some of the newest communities (0 comments)
san clemente: Southern California REO's are moving fast
- 07/28/08 05:27 PM
I recently secured another REO for an investment client. Not as easy as you might think. You would imagine that a cash buyer with realistic expectations of competition and a sincere desire to purchase property at a discount could easily find a good bank owned property to buy for investment. His intention is to put renters in his purchase and ride out the downturn. A couple of things to consider when looking for REO property for your investor clients: 1. Primary residence buyers have much more to gain by running up the price. They are not looking at cash on cash, and (10 comments)
