Here in the Hollywood Riviera there are two addresses - although in the end it's all the same address.  What does that confusing statement mean?  Well, half the Riviera has a Redondo Beach address (a P.O. Box address only though) Then entire Hollywood Riviera is located in the City of Torrance (90505).  There is a perception that is backed by numbers that show it's more desirable, thus more expensive typically to live on the Redondo Beach side of the Riviera.  Take for example the following averages: Currently there are 14 houses for sale on the Torrance side of the Hollywood Riviera (90505) The average dollar per square foot of these is $537.The average price of those houses is $1,005,850.The least expensive is $560K and the most expensive is $1,795K. Currently there are 18 houses for ...

I showed Darryl Rosen's fabulous listing on Spreckels the other night to my client. I was blown away buy the property. It was not your normal Golden Hills home. The home is located just a street in from Hermosa Beach. You walk up a flight of stairs to enter this home. It is all one level with a fabulous zen like garden in the back. Unlike most "tall and skinny's" in Golden Hills this home sits atop the garage allowing for the ultimate privacy and brightness. The garage is a decent size with a door leading into a large under the home storage area which the owner informed me they used at one time for a wine cellar. What a gorgeous home this one is!! The owners did a remarkable job decorating which makes this home a delight to show. I have posted pics below. I am sure this home won't last ...

I often wonder when a buyer asks me what "I would buy" if given the existing inventory.  I love this question and when we (my partner/sister and I) go out to broker's opens to preview new inventory...we always play this game.  What was the best deal today?  Best house for the least amount of money in other words.  When we go to broker's opens we can see many homes in several price ranges of course.  But it usually works out that one or two stand out on their own regardless of the other price ranges (meaning compared to that $2 million dollar house how was the $900K house?)  "Which house holds the most potential?" is usually one of the questions that runs through my  mind when thinking this way.  "Potential" - what is does that mean?  Lots of things go into the potential-bag.  Location i...

Confused On Whether The Conforming High-Balance Program Is Temporary?  Well, you're not alone.  One of the biggest misunderstandings from Realtors (in the High-Cost Areas) I find is they thought that Fannie Mae's High Balance Loan Program will be disappearing at the end-of-the year again.  Yes and No is the Answer. Let me clarify.  Fannie Mae implemented the High Balance Loan Program (permanently) for 2009 to Maximum Loan Balances of $625,500; but in March, it was (temporarily) modified to the limits in 2008 ($729,750 Maximum Loan Limit).  Remember, it was implemented because it was called, "Conforming Jumbo" in 2008.   Here's a link to Fannie Mae's website for all the information on the High Balance Loan Program (Click Here).  You'll also find the information in the Chart below:   Now ...

  Among the trends highlighted at this year's International Builders' Show, more Americans are saying goodbye to McMansions and are buying ‘right-sized' homes instead. There's also high interest in green elements, organization, fewer luxuries and practical appliances. Outdoor spaces are not being wasted thus outdoor kitchens and entertaining areas continue to rise in popularity.  With this in mind, we've decided to introduce you to some wonderful Hollywood Riviera Remodels.  The home we noticed recently is the home at 429 Via Los Miradores, owned by Mary & Raleigh Harris. When you consider today's housing trends, this home tops the list for a "right-sized" home!  They have owned their house now for 30 years and have remodeled it twice over the years.  This home has great curb appeal wit...

Home Staging provides many benefits, a designer's touch and inspiration, professional referrals, guidance and help with preparing your home for sale.  Home Staging also provides one more key element: an objective eye. Our homes are functionaly and comfortably suited to our lifestyles.  We know where everything is and we're also strangely oblivious to where everything is.  It makes sense to us that the kitchen counter is filled with items needed for everyday life- the toaster, knife block, can-opener, mixer, mail, canister of utensils, coffee, tea, flour, sugar..., look in your kitchen, I'm sure there are more things you can add to the list.  How's the bathroom counter looking?  Your nightstands and dresser?  How about the kids' toys- I could swear they really do walk around on their own...
