Huntington Harbor Home Short Sale

By
Real Estate Agent with TIM LORENZ - Elite Home Sales Team DRE# 00919781

According the the Orange County Register Huntington Harbor in Huntington Beach has the priciest short sale home in 2010.  The home is a waterfront home with a lot of high tech features.  It may not be the highest priced home that was on as a short sale but this one closed.  It is a 5000 square foot home on Barnstable Circle and it went for $1.85 million last week.

It is interesting that the asking price for the home was $2.85 million in April and dropped its price in June to $1.95 million.  For those that are sceptical about buyers purchasing a short sale look at this home.  It was a great purchase for the buyer.  A fantastic home at a bargain price. 

It is not easy for a lot of buyers to wait for the bank to approve tha short sale.  There is a chance that the bank will say no.  There is even a chance the bank may come back with a rediculous price as a counter.  But the best deals I have seen are the ones that go through as this short sale did.

Another buyer got a great deal on a home here on the waterfront.  So if you can be patient and not count your chickens before the deal is done.  You too could get a waterfron home like the one in Huntington Harbor on a short sale.

If you have a desire to get a great home for a great price contact Tim Lorenz and we will help you find the right home for you.

It is all relative.  The price for waterfront is really dropping.

Tim, a great buy for the buyers but not too many people in that price point.  You need patience for a short sale, but for the buyer who has it, it's usually a win situation.

Tim, the luxury market is up 6% this year, so even though there are less people, they are definitely out there buying in 2010.
