PORTOLA HILLS LIVING by Kelly Turbeville

June was a busy month in the real estate market and Portola Hills was no exception;  Just in time, before we see the market begin to shift with summer distractions no less.  Ready for this figure, homeowners who sold in June, received an over $700,000 in extra profit.   That is amount of money they received over the list price.  Unfortunately not all seller's had these results, surprisingly there were sellers who sold below market value as well.  Below is a snapshot of the how the Portola Hills real estate market finished in June.   If the home was priced right, presented well and available to see, most homeowners should have received multiple offers.  However, we did see in June a few homes sell below market and/or reduce pricing.  With the low inventory and high buyer demand this makes me wonder how strong the negotiations were.  In this market it is critical to work with an agent who's strength is in negotiations and will ensure your best interest are being looked after.  B

How would you like an extra $137,000 dollars in your bank account.  If you said yes, and own a home and are thinking of a move, we need to chat.  We are so excited that we just closed our listing at 41 Golf View in the community of Dove Canyon in Rancho Santa Margarita for a record breaking price of $1,135,000.  With over 50 showings, multiple offers and some back and forth negotiations we were able to secure the buyer and get both parties an amazing home!  You can see why this there was so much demand for this lovely home, a Rare Single-Level in the gated community of Dove Canyon. This Spacious, Open Floorplan with High Ceilings and Wide Hallways gives this home an amazing grand feel. As you enter the home, you enter into the Formal Living and Dining area where the step down living area has been raised, opening the floorplan further. Plantation shutters, provide privacy but when opened you have a beautiful view of the 1st Tee of the award winning Dove Canyon Golf Course. Completely re
