From Contract to Close–Whether Selling or Buying

By | September 28th, 2017|An Agent's Life, Buyer Tip, Front Page, Los Angeles Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes View Homes|

Palos Verdes Oceanfront homes in Rancho Palos Verdes. A typical day in an agent's life will involve an extensive list of "value-added" tasks. For example today we are waiting for a buyer's acceptance of a seller's response to the buyer's request for repairs. It has taken us a week of back and forth to reach an agreement. An appraisal is due, and late last night a former client who is about to begin a major remodel turned to me for help because the appraisal for his current home came in unacceptably low. He asked us to review it [...]

Palos Verdes Luxury Homes Market Report for September 2017

By | September 7th, 2017|Buyer Tip, Front Page, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes, Seller Tip|

Sold by Charlemagne International Properties   It was exactly one year ago when my market indicator (The Little Yellow Dot) signaled a shift in the luxury home market on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Little Yellow Dot edged closer to a buyers' market after many months of indicating a neutral market for luxury properties. September 2017 statistics for luxury residences priced over $3MM reveal the high-end home market is still locked in a buyers' market.   During August 2017 The Little Yellow Dot moved slightly away from a hot buyers' market, due to a few more sales and [...]

Palos Verdes Luxury Homes Market Report August 2017

By | August 11th, 2017|Front Page, Lifestyle in Palos Verdes, Los Angeles Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes, Rancho Palos Verdes Lisitng Agent, Rancho Palos Verdes top agent|

The South Bay of Los Angeles is in the middle of a hot and muggy spell, but the same is not true for the luxury home market on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The dog days of summer find the luxury home market in a cooling trend and heavily favoring buyers. With 65 Palos Verdes luxury homes for sale priced at or above $3,000,000 and only seven sales in July, it is easy to understand why sellers must invest more time in preparing their home to meet the challenges of a slowing luxury market. On the other hand, buyers now have [...]

Luxury Apartment Living in the South Bay of Los Angeles

I have a client who is in the market to invest approximately $5MM in real estate. He is selling a commercial building and wants to roll the proceeds over into another property. Simple enough. The dilemma he faces is where to make a long term investment that will require minimum management but provide a decent return on investment. Retail seems like a high-risk venture with the disruption online shopping is creating in the industry. Will gas stations become a thing of the past as the 21st-century advances? As the economic climate changes so do an investors' goals and guidelines. One [...]

Palos Verdes Luxury Homes Real Estate Report June 2017

By | June 20th, 2017|Buyer Tip, Front Page, Los Angeles Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes|

The Palos Verdes luxury homes real estate statistics show it is moving toward a market favoring buyers.  For sellers, this means your luxury residence will face stiffer competition and must stand head and shoulders above the crowded Palos Verdes luxury home real estate market. Palos Verdes luxury homes will continue to sell, but those offering the best value will be skimmed off the top of the rather long list of  65 luxury homes for sale, so make sure your home is perceived as crème de la crème.  The price should reflect the location, condition, view and perhaps even the seller's motivation [...]
