One of the biggest trends in the San Clemente Real Estate market is the rise in furnished rentals. There is currently a large inventory of homes and condos being offered as furnished rentals but there are many things to consider before renting a home. Most of the furnished rentals are typically on short term basis but this is not always the case. Over the last several years we have started to see more yearly furnished rentals coming on the market. These are ideal for those moving into the area that don't have furniture and looking for a home that has already been furnished for them. Normally furnished rentals will command a premium in the rental price but this typically is not the case for yearly furnished rentals.…

Rising 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 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. One of the biggest issues is limited inventory which has been a problem for the last two to three years in San Clemente and has become even more limited due to COVID. What many buyers are doing is looking for homes that are not on the market yet but will be coming on the market soon. These listings that were once only limited to real estate agents are now available to the general public.

There is one thing that is true about real estate no matter where you decide to buy and that is always about location. You can always change the interior of the home but you can never change the actual location of the land that the property sits on. This is also true for homes located on a corner lot as these types of properties are considered prime real estate here in San Clemente. One of the main reasons why homes on corner lots are so desirable is having only one neighbor to the side of you. If you like having extra privacy then this is type of property that will give you the extra space that you are looking for.
There are also other factors as well. Homes on corners lots tend to be typically larger than other…

One 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.

When 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. It seems like its a favorite word among real estate agents for describing a home that is in excellent condition. it wasn't later that it was explained to me that it literally meant turn the key in the door and leave without any concern about something falling apart or not working correctly. Once I got this explanation it started to make sense but I still feel like it's a word that is over used by the real estate community.
Nevertheless, it's a short way to describe a home that needs little to no work done on the home. Basically, bring your touthbrush and move right in. This is especially…

Real Estate agents have a special day when they get to preview brand new listings that come on the market in the San Clemente real estate market place.
