        <title>San Clemente Short Sale Agent New Listing:  1208 Vista Jardin</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Finding a home in todays market can be tough when faced with the record low inventory of homes in the San Clemente Real Estate market.  One of the best deals in the current marketplace are short sales as bank owned and foreclosures properties have almost disappeared from our market.  Short Sales are considered distressed sales but have many significant differences than a foreclosure property.  The main difference is time.  If are willing to be patient and have time to wait for a bank to make a decision on a short sale then they may be the perfect vehicle for you in finding your dream home. 


A new short sale listing has come on the market in the Reserve South community in San Clemente.  For those not familiar with San Clemente, the Reserves is a combination of 4 gated communities that are located in the Forster Ranch area.  All of these homes are less than 10 years old and represent some of the best values for those looking for an ocean view property under the $1 million dollar price point.  1208 Vista Jardin is a perfect example of an ocean view property that is currently listed at $749,000.  It features wonderful ocean views and is located near the community pool and sports area.  The home features 4 bedrooms with an approximate 2,800 square feet of living space.  The home is located on one of the best view streets and features beautiful hardwood flooring and vaulted ceilings.  All the bedrooms are located upstairs with a large master bedroom with its own private view deck.  A wonderful downstairs room has been turned into a home theater which is a clear way to use a formal living room that is traditionally hardly ever used.  If you are looking for a nice home that has lots of room with an ocean view then this may be the perfect house for you.  Contact us today at 949-291-0424 for a private showing of this home.
