Home Sales Statistics from the Multiple Listing Service for 92646  Real Estate market data for Huntington Beach, Ca 92646 provided by Marie Hansen, of Star Real Estate. Huntington Beach Prices in zip code 92646 For calendar year, 2013, we saw the 'return of the market' with sales activity being brisk in the first half of the year, and trailing off somewhat in the second half. Having said that, well, it IS Huntington Beach, and you just can't deny the lure of the beach!  Buyers are still actively seeking out properties, competition can be keen, and distressed sales are low.  So, resale properties in good condition and priced for the market are garnering attention from buyers as we enter 2014.  The following data is taken from the Orange County Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Ser...

So, who determines what is "affordable"? And how do you know if You can afford to buy? Generally, the lowest pricing tier of all homes in any given market get the tag "affordable" meaning lowest price.  There will always be individuals who will never buy a home. That's a fact. Either income and/or credit is not up to a qualifying level, or they are very mobile and don't want to put down roots. If you are the mobile type, find an acceptable rental, enjoy the Huntington Beach lifestyle and don't worry about "jumping into the fray" of trying to buy                             a first home. However, if you want something to make your own, the lure of buying a home is a powerful force! You won't have to put up with apartment living, crowded conditions, or an indifferent landlord.  And you ge...

Tips on How to Avoid Foreclosure! Are you having trouble keeping up with your mortgage payments? Have you received a notice from your lender asking you to contact them? · Don’t ignore the problem. The further behind you become, the harder it will be to reinstate your loan and the more likely that you will lose your home. · Contact your lender as soon as you realize that you have a problem. Lenders do not want your house. They have options to help borrowers through difficult financial times. · Open and respond to all mail from your lender. The first notices you receive will offer good information about foreclosure prevention options that can help you weather financial problems. Later mail may include important notice of pending legal action. Your failure to open the mail will not be an e...

Huntington Beach vacation Time with two Grandsons November, 2013   This is a post about my November 2013 vacation in Huntington Beach California.   I am here to visit my daughter Sue, her husband Chris and my 2 Grandsons Max and Jake.  I will be here for Thanksgiving and head back to Ormond By The Sea on December 4th.. The highlight of the trip is getting to spend time with my 2 Grandsons and Sue and Chris.  I was happy just to sit and watch them play or eat or whatever they were doing.  Reading, playing with the Hot Wheel cars and playing with the little train sets were all fun things we do almost every day.   Max, who is 4, had surgery on his hand yesterday to restore movement of his thumb so his activities are severely restricted for the next month.  He is doing well and has already ...

A Lone Bike Waits for its Surfer - Speechless Sundays     Growing up in Newport Beach, it seemed that all of us owned at least one beach cruiser.  How else could you avoid the crowds of summer clamoring for parking and make your way  to beach quickly, without drama to join your friends in the summer sun?

      I am so excited for Mr. and Mrs. G who just closed on their reverse mortgage saving their Huntington Beach home from foreclosure and updating it with a needed new roof.  They purchased their home 27 years ago and only had 3 years left to pay on their (1985 rates) mortgage.  Enter health issues and the recession.  As a small business owner the recession impacted their business revenue greatly.  On top of that some serious, though temporary, health issues really put them behind the eight ball. Unable to make their mortgage payment the current lender began foreclosure proceedings.  Also unable to afford repairs, the roof leaked causing damage to the home.    House rich and cash poor they have turned to a HECM Reverse Mortgage to get them back on their feet and secure their retirement...
