One of the best places to find ocean view homes in the San Clemente area is the Harbor Estates community. This area is often confused as being in the city of Dana Point due to its close proximity to Capistrano Beach area of Dana Point. Rental properties in this area don't come on the market that often but often lease out after a short period of time. In 2023, we saw a total of 5 homes come on the market that ranged from $6,000 to $7,500 a month in rent. Prices will typically vary depending on the size and the view of the property. Most of the rentals located here are 12 month leases to start and then can often be re-negotiated for a longer term lease.

San Clemente Homes that offer Rate Buy Down
640 Views, 0 CommentsRising Interest Rates has become a problem for those looking to get a mortgage when buying a home in today's real estate market. These higher rates were intended to slow down pries and inflation but the actual opposite as happened. Due to low inventory, we have what they call shelter inflation which is reaction to the Federal government raising interest rates. It's basically explained as the higher the interest rates go, less and less people who currently have a 3 or 4 percent mortgages on their home would not want to put their home on the market and buy another property at interest rates in the 6 to 7 percent range due to the higher costs involved. So the higher interest rates have created a very limited number of homes coming on the market which is
…Colony Cove San Clemente Ocean View Homes
542 Views, 0 CommentsColony Cove is mostly a senior 55+ community with some sections that has no age restrictions. What I love about this neighborhood is that they are like small little bungalow homes that located close together to create a real sense of community. The location is situated high on a hill is most sections which you think it would lend itself to offering a lot of ocean view properties but the top of the bluff is pretty flat so a large majority of the homes not offering any kind of views unless you are located on the front row which has true ocean front views. Finding an ocean view home here takes a lot of patience and typically commands a good premium in price compared to other homes in this community. A perfect example of this is a new listing in Colony
…San Clemente Homes For Sale Under $1.5 Million
836 Views, 0 CommentsI have a client that is coming into town and is looking to buy a home or condo for under $1.5 million. When doing a search this morning it was evident that there were not a lot of quality properties on the market even with this healthy price range. Properties listed between $1 to $1.5 million were predominately single family detached homes spread throughout the Talega, Forster Ranch, Rancho San Clemente and the San Clemente North neighborhoods. There was no one property that really stood out as a great deal in a great neighborhood but more like average to good homes in neighborhoods my client was not interested in living. The Talega area was automatically out due to the conformity of tract style homes that look to similar to neighboring homes combined
…Capistrano Shores San Clemente Rentals
526 Views, 0 CommentsCapistrano Shores is well known for having some wonderful beach front properties that are located right next to the sandy beach. These homes are typically offered for sale and rarely come on the market for lease. When looking at the stretch of homes between the north side of San Clemente between the Ole Hanson Beach Club and Doheny Beach in Dana Point you will see two different communities that are located next to the sand. Capistrano Shores is located in the city of San Clemente and originally was a manufactured home community on lease land. This all changed with the owners had the opportunity to buy the land which caused many to develop larger two story homes.

Over the last several months that have been record sales in this community that have topped over $2 million dollars and this trend continues into the first months of 2023.

One of the huge selling points for these homes is that they advertise low homeowners association dues with no Mello-Roos tax.

Over the last couple of years this has been one of the go to places when looking for a quality rental in the mid $3,000 to low $4,000 a month range. What I love about these townhomes are the very well thought out floor plans with soaring ceilings for properties that can have square footages of 1,400 to 1,800 square feet. We recently just saw a very nice ocean view rental in Vilamoura come on the market that was only on the market for 2 days and offered stunning views as pictured below. It was priced at $4,500 a month which is expected when you have a premier ocean view in this community. Non-ocean view homes here will come in at a lower

…San Clemente Homes with Sit Down Ocean Views
883 Views, 0 CommentsThe San Clemente real estate market has seen a huge increase in listing prices in the last several years with some amazing homes getting top dollar for them. One of our most requested items when people are looking for homes here is having a nice ocean view. San Clemente is unique when it comes to ocean view properties as the 5 freeway basically splits the town into two halves. The homes that are located on the ocean side of the freeway are very desirable since you easily walk to the beach but often times will have limited ocean views unless you are very close to the beach. Properties on the east side of the freeway are located in the hills of San Clemente and can have amazing panoramic ocean views. The only drawback with a lot of these properties is

…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. Since many of the neighborhoods in San Clemente have been around for a long time you won't typically find any Mello Roos in these neighborhoods. 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. Most buyers don't like this added extra cost when buying a home but since most
…Most Expensive San Clemente Homes Sold in 2020
1,599 Views, 0 CommentsThe year 2020 will remembered for a variety of reasons and was surprisingly a good year for real estate in San Clemente, California. The market was good for the first couple of months at the beginning of the year and slowed down dramatically due to the nationwide shut down that occurred in March and April. Of course, that didn't last long as COVID19 caused many home buyers the urgent need to find another home that was more suited for staying at home. We experienced a lot of buyers coming from the big cities looking to own a home with more land and more interior space. Low mortgage interest rates also helped increase the buying power and we started to see multiple offers on many properties in the summer and fall months. There were three large sales
