Palos Verdes Luxury Leases

I recently had a call regarding leasing a luxury home in Palos Verdes.  The caller said she would like a property "on the water" and  with at least four bedrooms.

After I gave her a few prospective properties, along with the monthly rent, she said she "needed to regroup" and would get back to me.  I haven't heard from her.  Yes, leasing a luxury home in Palos Verdes can be expensive, but it can also appear to be a bargain if you've already shopped leases in Malibu or Beverly Hills.

Curb Appeal - Maximize Your Home Value

Is your home ready for its closeup? The "Fifteen Seconds of Fame" rule certainly applies to selling your home since nearly 50% of prospective buyers drive by their favorite properties BEFORE they schedule an appointment to tour the home with their real estate agent.

Yes, that's right. After locating your home on the Internet and deciding it is in the right price range and the right neighborhood many buyers will check it out from the curb. Sellers, you can either win them here or lose them. Over the years, we've had many buyers eliminate a home from our show list based solely on curb appeal.

Don't let the curb appeal of your home cost you showings and even a sale. Every home's curb appeal can be improved no matter the style or age of the property. We can help you maximize the curb appeal of your home before you put it on the market.  Looking for a top agent to sell your Palos Verdes luxury home?

 A few reviews from our raving clients:

"We hired Norma when we bought our home 4 years ago and it was a wonderland experience. We stumbled on to her Palos Verdes Home blog website by chance when we were researching on buying a home in PV. We thought she was very knowledgeable and decided to set an appointment to meet with her. My wife and I were first time home buyers and Norma patiently educated us and walked us through all the options on what and where to look. Norm and her team gave us very knowledge feedback on our concern and also helped us through some troubling time when we had problems getting approval for a home loan. Finally she found us a wonderful home. It was initially outside of our price range but she negotiated hard for us and we got it! We would work with Norma again when we buy our next home." - Unsolicited Zillow Review from past client:

To Stage, or Not To Stage

 

Staged luxury home in Palos Verdes To stage, or not to stage is the question many sellers grapple with when they make the decision to list their property for sale. Staging is often an upfront cost with no guarantee it will deliver a ready, willing and able buyer. On the other hand, showing a property staged to perfection increases the home's appeal to prospective buyers.

Will staging my property enhance the value? Probably not to an appraiser, but the added value of staging a property is frequently returned to the seller in other ways. Most staged homes sell faster than similar homes listed with a "lived in" look.

Professional staging companies often suggest a fresh coat of paint on the walls and new flooring in some instances as a backdrop for their staged rooms. Again, more costs for the seller before the sale but buyers prefer moving into a home with neutral walls and new flooring. The freshness factor sells.

 

Staged homes are a godsend for buyers who are not visually gifted in imagining their belongings in a new space. Stagers can make those little nooks and crannies irresistibly appealing and open floorplans less intimidating. Most buyers are not designers with an eye for furniture placement. Staging helps buyers with the visualization process. If they can't imagine living in a house, buyers will not purchase it. A reduced number of days on the market saves additional mortgage payments and property taxes.

   

Staged exterior of luxury home sold by Charlemagne Int'l Properties In a competitive real estate market, sellers should give serious consideration to paying for professional staging in addition to the usual pre-sale preparations especially if the property is in the high-end luxury home price range. This suggestion is particularly the case if the house is vacant and has serious competition in the area. Staging is an effective way to turn a house into a home in a buyer's mind, and a showing into a sale.

Palos Verdes Luxury Listings and Sales Real Estate Report--February 2016

Rancho Palos Verdes Coastal Luxury Homes

The Super Bowl is next Sunday, and even though I'm not a football fan, the game plays a vital role in our annual real estate business. What's the connection? The spring real estate market begins the day after The Big Game according to local real estate lore. We've found this to be accurate year after year.

Buyers may look for a home online or even venture out to an open house or two during January. Sellers may research sales in their neighborhoods and vet top agents in their area, but the majority of buyers and sellers wait until after the Super Bowl to officially buy or sell.

Perhaps it is the warmer weather or the nesting urge that acts as the spring real estate market and forces people out of their post-holiday stupor and January hibernation, but whatever the driving force, it 's real and it's here.

 

Palos Verdes luxury listings and sales report for January 2016:

• Two Palos Verdes luxury residences priced at or above $3,000,000 sold during January. One property was located in Rancho Palos Verdes, the other was a Rolling Hills Estates luxury home. 
• Eight Palos Verdes luxury homes in the three million and up price range are in escrow with accepted offers.
• 42 Palos Verdes luxury properties are currently for sale in the $3,000,000 and up price range.

January's real estate sales are as expected--on the low side. However, with the arrival of the spring market those numbers will undoubtedly increase.  Looking for a top Palos Verdes real estate agent? We'd be happy to help!
