Hawaiian  Craftsman What is Hawaiian Craftsman?  I know craftsman style is.  It is the style just after the victorian era.  I have even owned a craftsman style home.  You may  be asking youself the question also. Well it is a style that is described for a home in Laguna Beach.  The home takes some of the traditional look of a craftsman and increases the height of the ceilings and opens up the home.  It has floor to ceiling windows.  The home is in Woods Cove on Diamond St. This beautiful home is on the market at $2.49 mil it is 3200 sf.  The home was designed by Greg Able.  Harold Noriega listed the property.

Laguna Beach Short Sale Agents|What is a Short Sale?   A short sale is any time you owe more on your home mortgage than current home value on the real estate market, and your lender allows you to sell the home for less than the current loan value, that is a short sale. The conditions vary somewhat but with the market prices of homes in Laguna Beach taking a deep plunge in the last several years, many homeowners find themselves facing new and difficult financial circumstances, often the by product of a job loss or failed investment produce the inability to keep up with their mortgage payments.

Positive News A $7.4 Million Sale In Laguna Beach A big sale sale in Laguna Beach which is positive news of a $7.4 million home sale.  This should help all the agents and reporters that do not think there is a market in real estate.  The oceanfront home in Laguna Beach's Three Arch Bay community just sold and it was a bargin as a short sale.  The home is a 5000 square foot 5 bedroom 5.25 bath on a 14,349 square foot lot.  It had been offered at 14 million origionally. The home is situated on a cliff above the clear blue waters in Three Arch Bay.  This home was built in 1933 and is a historic home.  It does have some recent renovations.  There is a separate guest home on the property.  The home has private steps to the beach.  Congratulations Ron Felsot.  01/12/2012

I read statistics every day about how home sales are up or home sales are down or predictions that home sales will recover or predictions that homes sales won't recover. I'm in the business of real estate and I can't figure out what all these numbers mean. However, I did see some statistics that caught my eye and actually did make sense to me. Everyday so far in 2011: 13,780 homes sell in the United States 72 homes sell in Orange County, Ca 500 homes sell every week in Orange County, Ca 2000 homes sell every month in Orange County, Ca I speak with buyer's and sellers nearly everyday who are on the fence about buying or selling a home. They're afraid to make a move because of the economy or the thinking that prices will drop or a myriad of other reasons. We, buyers and sellers, forget th... 11/07/2011
