Flooding

Almost 25% of Flood claims handled through the National Flood Insurance Program involve payouts for policies that are in low to moderate flood damage areas. San Clemente is no different.  Our real estate is precious.

How do you ensure that your San Clemente home owner’s policy includes Flood Insurance?  Dig out your policy and take a look.  Chances are you are NOT covered.

Note that often many natural disasters are NOT included in your home owner’s policy…they are often specifically EXCLUDED.  But you can ADD the extra coverage for your San Clemente Real Estate.  It takes about a month for the new coverage/policy to become active so don’t wait until the rainy season comes.  Act now to be sure that your San Clemente realty is well covered.

Marblehead Coastal real estate development (lower section)

MarbleHead Coastal Real Estate

Is Coming Soon – Luxury Homes

 

Real Estate, the luxury kind, is alive and booming in San Clemente with the development of the Marblehead Coastal property.  This nearly 300-acre parcel surveys the ocean from its gently sloping plateau between Avenida Pico and

Camino Capistrano (near the DMV) in San Clemente.

 

Homes here will include those built on 69 custom lots of a size from 5,573 to 12,263 square feet.  Buyers can build homes up to 9,000 square feet on a single lot, or to 13,000 square feet on up to two merged lots.  But get this:  LOT prices starft at $1.65 million and go up to more than $5 million!  EEEEEKKKK.

 

The well-heeled are already at work buying up the lots…you have famous athletes, dot com jillionaires, top investors, celebrities, media stars, etc. involved in, what is for them, just another minor investment as part of their portfolio.

 

Now there are condos for far lesser purchase prices that will be built, plus there will be outlet stores, a hotel, shops, rec center and more in the Marblehead Coastal development.

 

See how all this fits in with other San Clemente real estate and Orange County Homes by going to my Orange County real estate website.

30-year Veteran Realtor/Broker Debbie Ferrari

Needy Non-profit Groups Can Now

Earn 10% of Realty Agent Commissions

 

In a move designed to assist non-profit* groups in San Clemente and South Orange County, CA 30-year Realtor/Broker Debbie Ferrari is donating 10% of her commissions to participating non-profits through RealtyCares, a new, national organization. (*Groups defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.)

 

Buy or sell your local home after registering

it with RealtyCares.org and get 10% of this

local realty agent’s commission donated to

your group* in your name!

RealtyCares at www.RealtyCares.org is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to working with a city or area’s most successful realty agents who want to make a difference…both for their clients and participating area charities.

Non-profit groups benefit because for each referral that a member makes to RealtyCares that results in a sale or purchase of a home, participating realty agents donate 10% of their commission to that member’s choice of charity.

The non-profit group members enjoy being served by professionals who believe that “giving something back” is the right thing to do and who, because of high home prices in many areas, can significantly increase donations to a non-profit group.

For realty agents, it means a chance to perform home (or land, commercial property, etc.) buying or selling services for motivated, cause-minded members of local non-profit groups who are committed to strong community service as a way of life.

RealtyCares is at (800) 952-2735 | www.RealtyCares.org . 

Debbie Ferrari is locally at 949-463-4111 or toll free nationwide at (888) 547 – 2942, or via email at Debbie@DebbieFerrari.com . 

Or visit her huge Orange County real estate web site.  Her website is at www.DebbieFerrari.com .  Ferrari is listed as one of real estate mogul Donald Trump’s top 100 advisors in the United States in his newest book.

MEDIAN PRICE OF REAL ESTATE IN SAN CLEMENTE

IS MORE THAN $900,000 FOR A SINGLE HOME.

As of now, Mid April, 2007, there are 663 homes for sale in San Clemente, California at a medial price of $989,000. Isn’t that Amazing?

When my husband, Bill Koelzer, first started coming to San Clemente to be with me, the home that I sold that first week cost about $230,000 and that was in 1994. Now it sells for more than $800,000.

There are also 31 NEW homes for sale in San Clemente and the median price of those is $1,078,500.

There are 57 foreclosure homes in San Clemente and the median price of those is only $560,000 which I suppose goes to show that if you have to ask how much a yacht costs, you can’t afford one. In other words (for the parable-challenged) people who buy expensive homes usually have the money to KEEP making payments on them; those who don’t, don’t.

That would also explain why expensive homes have not been nearly so affected by this slight housing downturn as have the lower priced ones that families just managed to “squeak” into. So much for “delayed gratification” huh?
