PORTOLA HILLS LIVING by Kelly Turbeville

Are you a homeowner who is considering a move but has questions about the financial aspects? Is your current equity position going to result in Capital Gains or you are concerned about the cost of Property Taxes if you move?  Tired of speaking with one professional and then referred to another.  It's not easy finding real estate professionals who understand the complex realities of selling your home when you have a large amount of Equity.  While I must disclose, I am not a tax accountant.  I have put together an event that will help you look at options that are available to you, if you are trying to decide if now is the time to move. We will have a panel of experts in 1031 Exchanges, Capital Gains, Trust Solutions, Property Tax and Trust Solutions, plus I'll provide you a quick update about what is happening in the local real estate market.  Reserve my Seat! This workshop is designed for the Homeowner who knows they need to make a change, want to downsize, can't...

It's that time again.  Each year we host an Annual Food Drive in the Community of Portola Hills to support the local community and the efforts of South County Outreach! It is super simple to participate.  See the list below of needed food items, simply text us with for pick up. We are picking up food the week of May 6th.  Last year we collected over 930 lbs of food!  We hope to beat that this year!  Reach out direct to Realtor Kelly Turbeville with any questions. FOOD DRIVE UPDATE:  THANK YOU PORTOLA HILLS, WE COLLECTED OVER 1000LBS OF FOOD TO SUPPORT SOUTH COUNTY OUTREACH!!   We couldn't have done it without your support! 

 So have you heard the 22 real estate market is starting off with a bang!  Overall in Orange County we have the lowest inventory on record.  Currently there are about 1200 homes available for extremely high demand throughout the OC.  In Portola Hills, we have about a half a month of inventory available.  So what does this mean... In order for us to have a more balanced market for buyers and sellers, we would need to have about 6000 homes available.  For the market to turn to a buyers market we would need about 8000 homes.  As you can see with the current inventory of under 1200, listings are needed, which is an amazing opportunity for sellers.  Especially if you are looking to make a move up, because right now interest rates are still low and we know they are projected to increase throughout the year. RIGHT NOW, provides the opportunity to sell high and save $$ on your purchase! Below is a look at how the Portola Hills real estate market performed...

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 Co...
