Norma Toering's Oceanfront, Luxury Coastal Homes in Rancho Palos Verdes, Market Report for 2011

Oceanfront is a high end luxury subdivision in Rancho Palos Verdes consisting of 79 single-family homes. The site is located at the intersection of PV Drive West and Hawthorne Blvd. Construction on the coastal home sites began in 1998. The 132-acre site enjoys phenomenal ocean views. Over 70-acres were dedicated to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes as open space including at least 30 acres of coastal sage scrub habitat. Pedestrian walkways, bicycle trails and public parking are available.

Multi-million dollar homes line Via Del Cielo, Paseo De La Luz and other streets in the development. Most of the homes are two levels and many have a pool, view and other luxury amenities one expects at this price point.

There are currently four homes for sale in Oceanfront. The least expensive home is listed for $2,995,000. The most expensive is listed for $5,750,000.  Four homes are currently under contract and seven Oceanfront homes sold in 2011.  The highest price paid for an Oceanfront home in 2011 was $7,425,000.

The developer, Capital Pacific Holdings, Inc., sold a section of the development to another developer and Calle Viento and Pacifica Del Mar contribute a lovely addition of smaller homes (mostly single level) with a price range a bit lower than the rest of Oceanfront

If you are in the market for a luxury high end coastal home in Rancho Palos Verdes Oceanfront is an excellent place to begin your search. The location offers shopping and restaurants in the nearby Golden Cove Shopping Center. Trader Joes recently opened a new store in the center and the patio at Starbuck's offers panoramic views.

Homeowners at Oceanfront can watch whales and dolphin frolic offshore. A lighthouse is part of the local landscape and the world-class resort, Terranea, is five minutes away. If you are looking for location, luxury and coastal living Oceanfront is a lovely place to call home.

Every Home Is Staged--Some Better Than Others--Seller Tip

Forget about fifteen minutes of fame. The average home showing takes less than ten minutes. If your home captures the heart and soul of the prospective buyers they may stay longer. If not, they are gone in under five minutes. Yes, your house is staged whether you know it or not.

 

The image of your home is frozen in time in the buyer's mind. Images of the style, the condition, the smell, the amenities and the ambiance are locked away for future consideration or rejection. These components make up the overall "staging" of your property at the time of each showing.

 

When you grant permission to show your home you are issuing tickets to a show. Consider it your personal Broadway production. Just as a theatre patron expects to be entertained and have an unforgettable experience, the prospective buyer wants to be "moved" by a house they hope to call home. Your job is to set the stage, engage their senses and make the value of your home visible on every level.

 

Are you ready for your close up? Whether you pay for professional staging or not, your home is the stage and the prospective buyers are the players. You get one showing to make them want more. Give it your best shot the first time, every time.

 

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players...Shakespeare

Photo from my travels

For advice on how to make every showing unforgettable contact Norma Toering & Team.

Norma Toering's The Estates at Trump National Golf Course Market Report for 2011--Yippee, There Were Sales!

If you're searching for a high end luxury coastal home in the Greater Los Angeles area, or more specifically  on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The Estates at Trump National in Rancho Palos Verdes will most likely be on your list. 

First, a little history about the gorgeous setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and located on the ocean side of Palos Verdes Drive South.  Construction at the site began in the late 1990s when the Zuckerman brothers still owned the property.  After a decade of working with the Coastal Commission grading began and the ocean view golf course began to take shape.  Unfortunately, the 18th hole became a gigantic sinkhole (I peered into it and it was alarmingly huge and frighteningly deep). 

I remember the day I received the phone call asking me to come to Trumps, or Ocean Trails as it was called before Donald Trump purchased the property, to witness the disappearance of the 18th hole.  Near silence pervaded the group as we walked as close as we dare to gauge the severity of the calamity.  It was serious and it required millions of dollars to repair.  Enter Donald Trump, and the rest is history.  The former Ocean Trails became Trump National, the 18th hole was repaired, but the Great Recession followed soon afterward. 

The project weathered natural disaster and a disastrous economy, but finally, after a very trying decade, sales are beginning to happen. 

2011 sales at The Estates at Trump National:

2980 Twin Harbors View Drive sold for $3,200,000.  The 5517 sq. ft. ocean view home has five bedrooms and eight baths.

32045 Isthmus View Drive closed escrow in October.  The sale price was $7,150,000.  The panoramic ocean view 11,000 sq. ft. property has five bedrooms, nine baths and a gorgeous infinity pool.

 There are currently four homes for sale at The Estates at Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes.  The prices range from $4,200,000 to $10,000,000.   Contact Norma Toering & Team to arrange your private showing.

One more afternoon of relaxing then back to work...

 Palos Verdes Drive South has become the resort side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Donald Trump's Estates at Trump National Golf Course and Terranea Resort are both located on the south side.  The surrounding Rancho Palos Verdes real estate has certainly benefited from the addition of two world famous sites to the local area.

If you are searching for a home with an ocean and Catalina Island view, you will not want to miss the homes located along Palos Verdes Drive South.  The area offers beach cottages, hillside villas and grand ocean estates.  There is truly something for every buyer with much diversity in style and price in this Palos Verdes hot spot for coastal homes.

Looking Back and Moving Forward

Queen Elizabeth spoke about the importance of family and friends in her annual Christmas broadcast today.  As is often said when we look back upon the life we lived, it is family and friends we recall with great joy and love.  It is not the number of deals closed or lost, or the amount of money we made or lost.  I think the wise words of 85 year old Queen Elizabeth are ones to remember as we embark upon the New Year. 

My real estate family may play second fiddle to my other family, but they play an important role in my life's purpose.  When I look back on 2011 I choose to focus on the nice memories and let the naughty ones dim with the passing of time. 

A few of my fondest real estate moments of 2011 were:

1)   The Newlyweds:  Four couples were married during their house hunting adventures with Norma Toering & Team this year.  I even served wedding cake in my office as a congratulatory surprise to one couple as we structured a counter offer.  I think I will always remember 2011 as the year of the weddings!

2)  The Empty Nest Syndrome:  Years ago when I sold them their dream home there were four young children at home, but now the youngest is off to college, dad retired and it was time to restructure the dream.  They traded the big home with a pool for a small home with a big view.

3)  Relocating Seniors:  It's a wonderful feeling to help seniors find a new place to call home and I was fortunate to help two this year.  Uprooting and leaving the family home behind, often after the death of a spouse, is not easy but both are now happy in their new digs closer to family members.

4)  Twins:  There is nothing like two new babies to drive home the fact more space is needed!  The babies arrived before we found a house, but find it we did. 

 2011 clients included relocating buyers (still searching for the perfect home for two families), children selling their childhood home after their mother's death and other buyers and sellers with needs driven by life changes.  Change keeps the wheels of real estate turning no matter what the interest rate or state of the economy may be in any given year.

I welcomed these new, and not so new, clients to my 2011 real estate family and I welcome them as friends in my life too.  Thank you for the gift of your business and your friendship.

2011 Blogging Challenge: Calls, Spas and Luxury Home Sale Trends in Palos Verdes

I posted an article on Palos Verdes luxury home sales 2007--2011.  High-end Palos Verdes homeowners will find sales bottomed out in 2009 but are on the rise.  I found the research informative and will send a link to several of my clients.

 

I made more than a few 'happy holidays' connections today--as a matter of fact I spent most of the morning on the phone.   I have a few more connections to make before I head off for two days of rest and relaxation at a spa--the perfect treat before the big Christmas weekend, and a few quiet days before relocation clients arrive next week.
