San Clemente Homes that offer Rate Buy Down
Sep 29 1044 Views, 0 Comments.
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…

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.

San Clemente Homes That Are Priced To Sell
Jun 16 1611 Views, 0 Comments.
What a difference a couple of months make when looking at San Clemente real estate market. COVDI19 has really changed the landscape of the marketplace and has actually caused the reverse of what most people think would happen. We get a lot of calls from buyers thinking they can get a big discount on real estate since they feel the overall economy has taken a hit due to the large number of jobs that were lost. In fact, the opposite has happened to the real estate market. The inventory of homes on the market for sale was low before COVID19 and because of the pandemic there are even less sellers wanting to put their home on the market. Given the high demand of buyers that still want to buy in part to the very low interest rates…
San Clemente Homes On A Corner Lot
Oct 8 2374 Views, 0 Comments.
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…

San Clemente Turnkey Homes
Mar 5 2168 Views, 0 Comments.
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…

San Clemente is well known for being a small beach town that had it's origins of being a vacation destination for those who lived in the greater Los Angeles area. Back in the 1920's many rich owners would build small residences in San Clemente to use part time vacation properties. Because of these factors it's not uncommon to find smaller beach cottages that are often under 1,000 square feet of living space and feature one to two bedrooms. The Spanish style homes dating back to the 1920's and 30's are called "Ole Hanson" named after the founder of the city. These cottages often feature two to three bedrooms and located on the ocean side of the 5 freeway in the Southwest San Clemente, North San Clemente and Downtown San Clemente…
Ole Hanson San Clemente Historic Homes
Sep 26 13135 Views, 0 Comments.
Ole Hanson was the founder of San Clemente and was the person who had the vision of many of the older Spanish homes from the early 1920's and 30's that you see today in San Clemente. During the 1960 and 70's many of these homes were torn down in pursuit of building larger homes and condo buildings. Luckily, many of these homes were preserved and have become the rich heritage that San Clemente is proud to be associated with. These homes can be found in the older sections of town which are the Southwest San Clemente, San Clemente Central and San Clemente north neighborhoods.
The homes tend to be on the smaller side with two to three bedrooms and range anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet of living space. Many of these properties rarely come…
Mills Act Homes For Sale
Jun 6 7726 Views, 0 Comments.
The Mills Act is a federal organization located in the Western part of the United States that specifically helps protect historic homes from being improperly renovated or destroyed. Mainly found in California and Arizona, the Mills Act works with the individual states in lowering the yearly tax base paid on these historic homes. The savings can be significant and I have personally seen the taxes as low as 50% lower than what the normal tax rate should be.
Things to look for when looking for a historic home. First, not all historic homes will be covered by the Mills Act. Just because the home was built in the 1920's or 30's doesn't automatically qualify the home to be covered under the Mills Act. It's worth asking the real estate agent and/or…
