That Home Sold for What in Portola Hills?

Congratulations to another KW client who just moved into the Portola Hills neighborhood of Serenado.  The Serenado community is a fairly small community of 166 homes and part of the Portola Hills II homeowners association. There are 3 floor plans:

  • Rhapsody: 3 bedroom, 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
I wrote a blog back in 2015 with more details of this tract and since then homes have just about doubled in value. 

Here is a look at the overall values today! 


Serenado Paired Homes in Portola Hills

Right now, offers Portola Hills homes sellers in the Serenado tract and excellent opportunity to take advantage of their equity growth.  Whether you are thinking about selling and moving up or downsizing into your next home,  utilizing some of your equity to upgrade the home or leveraging it into an investment property, we are here.

We will review with you if you can benefit from Prop 19, which allows you to take your tax basis with you into your next home! Is it beneficial for you to rent the home and make this your first investment property?  Do you have the opportunity to use 1031 exchange benefits on this home or into your next home?  What updates need to be completed in the home and provide you with resources, including cash to do just that. 

As well as reviewing the above, did you know KW (Keller Williams) has helped more buyers move into Portola Hills in 2021.  Why is this important.  While you might think home sellers set the price of a home,  the market value is actually determined by what the buyer is willing to pay for the home.  In the Serenado tract, the average list to sale price ratio is just under 5%.  We are pleased to note, our list to sale price ratio averages at 12%.   Certainly if you are thinking of a move, you want to work with an agent that is going to net you more $$ and has the pool of buyers that are willing to pay top dollar!

Where are all the houses for Sale?

If you are thinking about a move, downsizing, relocating and have been searching for a home, you are probably thinking "where are all the homes for sale" isn't this time of year that we would see them? The answer to the later is yes!  May is typically the busiest month in real estate.  However with over 80% of homeowners refinancing to the low rates over the last couple of years, homeowners are in no hurry to make a move into a higher rate.  Is this you?   But life happens and buyer demand is pretty strong in most price points.  One reason... is the equity position homeowners have.  Just released over 67% of homeowners homes are either paid off or they have less than 50% remaining on their mortgage.  That means there is a ton of equity in the market!  In addition, buyers have come to terms with interest rates.  They understand they can refinance later. As we do anticipate home prices to sky rocket due to this inventory issue not being resolved and rates will come down. He

Is your Portola Hills home going to be your first Rental Property?

Image
Did you know there are over 200 original owners here in Portola Hills.  The community was started in the late 80's so that is nearly 40+ years of equity growth for those homeowners.  Especially with the median price of the area nearing $1 million dollars.   Most of those homeowners have very low mortgages or the homes are paid off, which provides them with a wonderful opportunity to leverage their equity into other rental properties.  Perhaps the original home could become or has become their first investment property. With rising rents, right now is an excellent time to perhaps take the jump to become a landlord.   Check out these 3 Mistakes we see first time investors make in the real estate market. 1.  Not doing a cash flow analysis. 🤑 It is easy to say, oh my mortgage is this, I can rent it for that and do the math.  But it goes much deeper than that, understanding your overall cost is critical step in planning. 2.  Not working with a real estate agent. 💁‍♀️ Truth, having a R
