PORTOLA HILLS LIVING by Kelly Turbeville

Another Happy Seller! 🏡 This Portola Hills condo had been sitting on the market for 45 days with fewer than five showings and no offers before the sellers reached out to me. Instead of hoping for a different outcome, we changed the strategy. ✔️ New photography ✔️ Fresh marketing ✔️ Repositioned the listing ✔️ Consistent follow-up The result? Under contract in less than 30 days. Every home has a story, and sometimes it's not the home that needs to change. It's the marketing behind it. Thank you to my wonderful clients for trusting me with the sale of your investment property and for this incredible review. It means more than you know. If your home isn't getting the attention it deserves, let's have a conversation before you make your next move. 📍Portola Hills | Lake Forest | Orange County SEARCH AVAILABLE PORTOLA HILLS HOMES About Kelly Turbeville Hi, I'm Kelly, a local Realtor, writer, and the voice behind Portola Hills Living .

Others kept waiting for "something better." The Numbers Tell the Story 28873 Canyon Point has now officially closed escrow at $520,000. For many buyers, that represents one of the last opportunities to purchase in South Orange County at this price level. Why? Because real estate is rarely about finding the perfect home. It...

  🏡 Portola Hills Market Update | More Choices. More Strategy. If you've been watching the Portola Hills market, you've probably noticed more homes for sale. There are currently 32 active listings , but here's the story behind the numbers... 🏠 For Sellers: The resale single-family market remains relatively balanced. Much of the inventory increase is coming from new construction in The Oaks and attached homes , so don't assume your home is competing with all 32 listings. Pricing and positioning still matter. 🏗️ For New Home Buyers: Builders have multiple homes available, which often means more flexibility, incentives, and opportunities than we've seen in recent months. It's worth taking another look. 🔑 For Condo & Townhome Buyers: This may be one of the best opportunities we've had in a while. Inventory has improved, giving buyers more choices and less pressure than during the frenzy of the past few years. Search Portola Hills Homes ☀️ One ...
