Ahhhh! At the end of a busy day, who doesn’t look forward to the surge of well being that comes with closing the door behind you, finally able to relax now that the world is at bay. Whether living in apartments or homes, everyone deserves that feeling of safety and security. Yet, like most everything else, real security has to be earned.   In the area of home security, we’ve come across both good and bad news. The good: the most recent FBI report shows that the number of burglaries is decreasing across the nation. The bad: burglaries are still responsible for 23% of property crimes, and total losses for those were estimated at more than $15,000,000,000. That’s billion.  Fortunately, a few very simple actions can reduce the chances that any of our Costa Mesa homes will become one of tho... 07/08/2012

Mesa Verde Costa Mesa  The majority of Mesa Verde Costa Mesa homes were built in the 1960's and 1970's, with several of the homes actually built right along the golf course.       Though some of the homes are still in original condition, many have been upgraded and in some cases almost entirely rebuilt. The homes along the Mesa Verde Golf Course are in high demand with these homes rarely staying on the market for more than a short period of time.          Mesa Verde is bordered by Fairview Regional Park and the Costa Mesa Golf Course on the south, Harbor Boulevard on the east, the Santa Ana River to the west, and the 405 (San Diego Freeway) on the north. The Mesa Verde neighborhood of Costa Mesa was largely built around the Mesa Verde Country Club, a private club and golf course Costa M... 07/06/2012

Eastside Costa Mesa     Eastside Costa Mesa is referred to as the Eastside because it is east of Newport Boulevard.   It is a charming area of Costa Mesa that is bordered by Newport Beach. As a result of this proximity, it tends to have higher property values than many other areas of the Costa Mesa.   The boundaries of Eastside Costa Mesa are by Irvine Boulevard on the east, Newport Boulevard on the west, 15th Street on the south and Mesa Drive on the north.   Some of the home are even walking distance to the Back Bay which is wonderful for walking, kayaking and horse back riding.   The original lots on Eastside were usually around 10,000 square feet, a large size lot in Orange County. As a result, many of the older homes have been expanded by taking advantage of these lot sizes while o... 07/06/2012

At last! To the joy of every child (and most adults) you know, your Costa Mesa home has a swimming pool! Whether you just bought the property or have recently installed a pool yourself, this is a feature that’s not only a pleasure to look at, but also a true centerpiece -- a magnet for socializing and relaxing throughout the hot summer months.    Also true: that pool carries a few drawbacks, as well. You should consider both when it comes to writing an offer or selling a home with a pool   Pro 1: Boost Your Property's Value In today's super-competitive housing market, it’s good to stand out from the crowd.

Costa Mesa Open Houses Still Sell Homes! Endangered Species? The Costa Mesa Open House  Nobody Lives Inside a Computer… In the Age of the Internet (that's what we're in the middle of, I'm pretty sure) it is widely held that everything you want to buy is merely a mouse click or two away. It's sort of like“Alice's Restaurant”: 'you can get anything that you want' - only better, because you don't even have to 'walk right in.' If that were true, selling your Costa Mesa house would be as simple as turning everything over to your listing agent, watching its picture go up on the Web, and WHOOSH!, it's sold! Pack up and move! Of course that's seldom the way homes get sold, and for at least one good and logical reason: Nobody wants to live inside a computer. When prospective homebuyers get seri... 05/31/2012
