Palos Verdes homes near Portuguese Bend Hiking Trails

Have you ever wondered what it would be like living in the Portuguese Bend area of Rancho Palos Verdes in Southern California?  This is one of those areas that are so unique, you won’t find anywhere like it from San Diego to Santa Barbara-I know I’ve looked…hard!

And one of the most favorite things I like to do when I have about 3 hours is to go on a long hike and just enjoy clean air, strenuous work and feeling like I did when I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Lake Isabella to the Oregon border back in ‘79.  It’s amazing that these trails, in my “own back yard”, provide that euphoria!

I want you to experience this same joy too!  So have a read from this guy’s blog about his experience in hiking in Palos Verdes and imagine what owning a Palos Verdes home would do for you!  As a matter of fact, why not click on the pictures below of a couple of homes that have easy access to the trails.  Two of them are excellent examples of Rancho Palos Verdes ocean view homes as well!

And here are some terrific examples of Palos Verdes homes you could now own that literally puts you steps away from these beautiful trails!  Click the images to bring up the photos, virtual tours and descriptions.

Now, a word of advice, these trails don’t mend themselves, so feel welcome to bring along a pair of pruning shears so that you can snip a bit as you go through. 

Enjoy and let me know how you like it!  Better yet, send me and email or give me a call next time you go and I will try to join you!

Palos Verdes Real Estate Market Influenced By International Buyers

Do International Buyers effect the Palos Verdes Homes Market?image

Due to low prices and the relative weakness of the dollar, international buyers continue to identify the U.S. as a desirable place to own property and make a profitable investment.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®’ 2012 Profile of International Home Buying Activity, total residential international sales in the U.S. for the past year ending March 2012 equaled $82.4 billion, up from $66.4 billion in 2011. Total international sales were evenly split between non-resident foreigners and recent immigrants. The survey asked REALTORS® to report their international business activity within the U.S. for the 12 months ending March 2012.

“Today’s advantageous market conditions have drawn more and more foreign buyers to the U.S. in recent years, signaling how desirable and profitable owning property in this country can be,” said NAR President Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates, Inc. in Miami, Fla. “Low housing prices, a good inventory condition and increased buying power with today’s exchange rates help attract international clients. Foreign buyers also have the advantage of working with a REALTOR®. REALTORS® who specialize in serving international clientele have a truly global perspective; they know what hurdles foreign buyers  face when purchasing property in the U.S., and have the expertise and knowledge that comes from working with clients from different cultures and real estate practices.”

International buyers bought homes throughout the country, but four states accounted for 51 percent of the purchases – Florida, California, Texas and Arizona. Florida has been the fastest growing destination of choice, accounting for 26 percent of foreign purchases. California was second with 11 percent and Texas and Arizona accounted for seven percent. Proximity to the home country, the presence of relatives and friends, the convenience of air transportation, and climate and location are all important considerations to prospective foreign buyers. Locations on the East Coast generally attract European buyers, while Asian buyers tend to purchase on the West Coast, particularly California. Florida attracts a diverse set of international buyers including South Americans, Europeans and Canadians. Meanwhile, Texas remains popular among Mexican buyers. Within markets in an individual state, it is not unusual to find concentrations of people grouped by nationality.

“Foreign buyers recognize that owning a home in the U.S. has many benefits, both financial and social,” said Veissi. “Many purchase property as an investment, vacation home, or to diversify their portfolio. In addition, many recent immigrants view homeownership as an important accomplishment. They believe that being a homeowner is one of many ways they become established in the U.S. and attain stability, security, and a sense of community.”

International buyers came from all over the globe, but Canada, China (The People’s Republic of China including Hong Kong), Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom accounted for 55 percent of all international transactions (continue below to see local Palos Verdes Homes results), according to the survey. Canada and China remain the fastest-growing home countries. Canada accounted for 24 percent of international sales while China accounted for 11 percent, up from nine percent in 2011. Mexico was third with eight percent of sales and India and the U.K. both accounted for six percent.

Forty-five percent of international purchases were under $250,000. In addition, there appears to be a gradual increasing trend toward purchases in the $250,000 to $500,000 price range. In 2012 this range accounted for 30 percent of purchases, up from 28 percent in 2011. The average price paid by an international buyer was $400,000 compared to the overall U.S. average of $212,000. Several reasons account for why the average international home price is higher than the average overall price. The international client is typically wealthier than the domestic buyer and is looking for a property in a specialized niche, for example, a larger property suitable for multi-generational living, or a property that establishes the individual’s presence and standing in the community.

Many homes purchased by foreign buyers are used as a primary residence. Vacation and rental use are also major reasons for a purchase. More than half – 66 percent – of survey respondents reported international buyers purchased detached single-family homes. About half of international buyers, 52 percent, preferred to buy in a suburban area and about a quarter, 23 percent, bought in a central city/urban area.

Sixty-two percent of international purchases were all cash, which has increased since 2007. International buyers still experience many financing challenges when purchasing a home in the U.S. In fact, among transactions that failed, REALTORS® reported that in 26 percent of the cases financing issues were the problem. The difficulties facing foreign buyers in trying to obtain a mortgage include lack of U.S.-based credit history and hurdles in meeting mortgage requirements. Other reasons for not purchasing properties were cost/taxes/insurance and immigration laws.

Twenty-seven percent of REALTORS® reported having worked with international clients this year. Fifty-two percent of REALTORS® reported that international transactions accounted for one to 10 percent of their total transactions, while 27 percent reported that they made up more than 10 percent of total transactions. REALTORS® specialization on the buyer’s side of the market – such as foreign language capabilities, cultural affinity or orientation with the prospective purchaser and experience in explaining the U.S. real estate – appear to be important in working with foreign buyers.

So when it comes to Palos Verdes real estate, is there a way to track international buyers?  In fact there is*; reviewing the websites where I’ve recently promoted and sold one of my clients homes, I discovered the following …

*If your Realtor does not know how to do this, you’re missing a big part of successfully getting your home marketed to sale.  You’re welcome to contact me for more information

I’m finding that most popular are the Palos Verdes Homes with Ocean Views … like this one…

However, no matter what type of home you have, contact me to get (1) an objective opinion on what the market is likely to pay for your home AND (2) get more ideas on how to best get your home marketed (such as marketing to the international buyers) for top dollar in an efficient time period.  Even folks that already have an agent, find it good common business sense to meet with me so that they can capture those two benefits.  I’m here to help.
