PORTOLA HILLS LIVING by Kelly Turbeville

If I had to describe in one word how the Portola Hills real estate market performed in 2021...it would be Crazy.. AF (well technically that is 3 words abbreviated).  Below is a video recap of the details. Take a listen and for more details, you'll find the complete report below.  What is the value of my Portola Hills Home? In 2021 there were 185 sold properties in Portola Hills, pretty much split between Single Family Homes and Attached homes.  Fun fact, in 2020 93 single family homes sold and in 2021 the exact same number sold.  Interesting the value of homes both Attached and Single Family homes, grew 15% from 2020. It is important to note that this is overall, your home may have had more or less, depending on the community, conditions and recent sales specific to your home.  If you would like a report for your home specifically, please do not hesitate to request a Home Value Report here .

Are you wondering if you missed the height of the real estate market?  Are you hearing homes are not selling as fast and the number of offers has died down.  This is partially true, but it is not because the market is shifting to buyers market...  It is a seasonal shift.  Did you know July and August, typically are the slowest months of real estate in the OC.  Why, simply summer distractions!   For our monthly Portola Hills market recap, this month we looked at how the market performed the last 3 months, from July - September.  Take a peek at the numbers below:   As you can see in the above report, homeowners who decided to sell in the last 3 months received on average 103% to their list price.  Low Inventory and Interest Rates remaining below 3% is keeping the buyer demand high.  Homes priced right are still selling quickly for over asking price.  For our clients this year we are averaging about 112% of list price.   I would caution sellers to simply list their home over the last home

Today I took a stroll through the Crown Point neighborhood in the community of Portola Hills in Lake Forest, California.  This is a quaint community of 58 Single Family Detached Luxury Estate homes. Crown Point Estates in Portola Hills I like this community for many reasons, one reason, it's small and located on two wide culd-a-sac streets that offer amazing views of either the Saddleback Mountains or the Pacific Ocean.  Check out our quick video of the neighborhood.     The community was built in the early 90's by Richmond American Builders. Many of the homes have been updated to today's standards, they have four spacious floor plans and is part of the Portola Hills II Homeowners Association, which includes exceptional amenities such as Sparkling Pool, Spa, Playground, Tennis, Volleyball, Gym, Clubhouse and more.   Floor plan Details include: P lan 1:    5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, 2 Fireplaces, 3 Car Garage and 2948 Sq.

The Seranado tract in the Portola Hills community of Lake Forest is a great community of paired homes.  What's a paired home, you might ask?  A paired home is 2 single family attached homes on a lot, owned by 2 separate homeowners vs. a duplex where 1 homeowner owns the entire property.   The Serenado community is a fairly small community of 166 homes and part of the Portola Hills II homeowners association. There are 3 floorplans: Rhapsody: 3 bedroo, 2.5 bath, 1561 sq.ft. 2 car garage Concerto:  3 bedroom, 3 bath, 1771 sq.ft. 2 car garage Symphony: 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1891 sq. ft. 2 car garage These homes offer a wide range of amenities, depending on the floorplan, including fireplaces in the master bedrooms, open and bright structures with high ceilings. Depending on the location, many of the homes offer amazing views of either the Saddleback Mountains or Pacific Ocean with nice size yards.
