Laguna Altura Irvine Homes

Irvine homes have a variety of features but one of the unique opportunities for real estate home buyers is finding a home located on a cul-de-sac location.  A cul-de-sac is basically a street that comes to an end and has a gentle curve to it so cars can turn around to go back down the street.  The homes located around this curve are considered homes on a cul-de-sac which actually becomes a good selling feature when you go to sell a home.  One of the reasons for this is that it's considered a desirable thing for those who have kids and/or pets.  The idea is that a car is less likely to go down a street the comes to a dead end if they don't live on the street so it's presumed to be a safer location.  That's why it's not uncommon to see children playing in a

If you have spent anytime in Califonria in the last several years then you would see the boom in Eletric vehicles on the road.  The number of these types of cars will only increase as the race to 2035 when gas cars will be banned from selling in California.  I know I have spoken with car salesman at Mercedes Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach and they said they are really amping up their production of these electric cars which has become a primary focus for them.  Because of this large demand we are starting to also see a boom in ev chargers being installed in a home.  Having this located inside a home can be a huge selling feature especially for those who already own electric cars or plan to buy one.

One of the common features that is now starting to be sold with homes in Irvine are solar panels.  It was only a few years back when there was a limited number of properties being sold with panels but this is not the case anymore.  In fact, when the green movement moving full speed ahead many owners are looking to do their part in utilizing the many sunny days that we have here in Irvine to their advantage.  One thing that is still the same is that some buyers still don't understand what it means to buy a home with panels on it as there are a variety of situations that it can be transferred to the new buyer.  We will go over a few of these options here.

One of the more popular gated communities in the Irvine area is the Hidden Canyon community in Irvine.  Over the last 4 years we have seen over 50 homes sold often for prices over $3 to $4 million dollars.  What makes this community unique is it's private and remote location in the Laguna Altura area that is set off from other communities but still close enough to be within a short driving distance to local grocery stores, restaurants and some really great shopping.  The floor plans are very well thought out with large square footages that often showcase large rooms with vaulted ceilings and outdoor entertainment spaces with many owners installing private pools and spas.  If you are thinking about doing a quick drive through of this community make sure to

One of the hottest communities in the Irvine area has recently been the Laguna Altura area.  There seems to be a big buyer demand for homes in this community that are priced under $1.5 million dollars.  As you probably know, inventory throughout the Irvine area has been very limited with only a few number of homes coming on to the market compared with the large buyer demand that we are currently seeing.  This is especially true for single family homes priced under $1 million dollars which seems to be one of the most sought after requests that we have been getting.  We commonly see homes in this price range in the Northwood, El Camino Real, Oak Creek, University Park, Woodbridge and Walnut areas.  Many of these are homes are selling after being on the
