San Clemente Homes with No Mello Roos
2,168 Views, 0 CommentsSan Clemente is an older beach town down that dates back to the 1920's when the homes were first built here.

Mello Roos is a bond that is associated with brand new communities as a way of passing on the costs to the homeowners associated with building a new neighborhood. Builders are always looking for ways to minimize the costs when building homes and creating a Mello Roos bond which typically goes for 25 to 30 years and is smart way for them to avoid the costs associated with building streets, sidewalks, etc in a new community.

…San Clemente Coming Soon Listings
1,989 Views, 0 CommentsThe San Clemente Real Estate market in the last three to four months has been really crazy as buyers are bidding against each other when new listings that are priced well come on the market. Many thought COVID would bring the real estate market down but it has actually had a reverse effect and the market has never been stronger.

…Solar Powered San Clemente Homes
2,005 Views, 0 CommentsOne of the benefits of living in the Southern California is the sunny weather we get to enjoy pretty much all year around, except for the June gloom that that occurs every year. Many residents have used this benefit to aide in going green and using solar panels as an alternative to electricity.

Many homes in San Clemente are installing solar panels on their roofs which has become a huge selling point when it comes time to sell. Markeing a home with solar panels really does appeal to those who want to live a more green focused living and for those who are also cost conciecous who want to save money.

…San Clemente Turnkey Homes
1,775 Views, 0 CommentsWhen I first got into real estate over 20 years ago I always heard the word "turnkey" and had no idea what people were talking about.
