 This information I received today, it came from the Wall Street Journal. The article was written by Cyril Moulle-Berteaux.I love my job and I am a very positive thinker. I believe that negativity gets you know where. Yes times are tough right now but that doesn't mean to stop working. It means we have to work harder. Home sales are continuing close. I my self have had a fabulous first quarter. So when I read this article I thought i would share it with every one who thinks positive, and for those who dont, you should read this. It may change your mind.This is from the Wall Street Journal - Opinion Section - May 2, 2008The Housing Crisis Is OverBy CYRIL MOULLE-BERTEAUXMay 6, 2008; Page A23The dire headlines coming fast and furious in the financial and popular press suggest that the hous...

 One of the perks of my job as a Realtor is previewing properties for my clients. Every Friday we have Broker Preview in Newport Beach and some-days I can't help to be so grateful I live and I work here. Look at the view today from a bay-front home on Lido Island.Lido Island is in an ideal location. While it's one of the few spots in Newport where you can actually own a boat dock in front of your home. You are also close to shopping and walking distance to the ocean. Since January 1, 2008 10 homes have sold on Lido Island, 4 are pending sales and there are 33 available homes for sale. The average sold price on Lido so far this year is $3,384,000. Homes have taken on the average about 132 days to sell and the average sq.ft sold is $966.00. This is in a down market!!! Lido Island is a gre...

  This is Cherry Lake in Newport Beach. Most locals dont even know about it. It is a secluded spot across from the Back Bay with about 16 homes surrounding the lake. The lake is stocked with fish and it does have an aeration system to keep the water clean and bacteria free. There's a mobile slide which can be transported anywhere in the lake. You wont know you are in Newport Beach when visiting Cherry Lake, it feels like you are in the mountains. For more information about Cherry Lake feel free to contact me anytime!

 I never thought I would see prices drop in Newport Beach, and really they haven't much! Living in Newport Beach is very special. You can't beat a beautiful day here. So if you are thinking of buying, now is the time..... I looked at past sales on the Multiple Listing Service.  I compared sales from March 2008 to March 2007 in Newport Beach, prices dropped 9.1%,  and in Corona Del Mar down 6.4%. Yes this is a drop, but not like the media claims. It's a slight decrease. Considering they were up 30% just a couple of years ago. If you are considering purchasing a home in Newport Beach do it before it goes up again. No one knows when that will be.  I will say that our Open houses have been extremely busy with buyers, our office is closing numerous sales weekly, and we are definately feeling...

  You can't beat a sunny day in Newport Beach. The weather has been exceptionally nice this weekend. Do you know how often it gets 93 degrees in Newport, in April?????? How about rarely! So I had to go on a walk this morning on Balboa Island and enjoy the views. I hope you do too! It is so peaceful. One of my favorite cottages. You should have seen this before the new owner fixed it up! The Pavilion. If you would like more information on Balboa Island please feel free to visit my website or call me.

The boat show is at Lido Marina in Newport Beach, and each year, docks are brought in to accommodate all the yachts that are on display and for sale.This boat show began on April 9, and goes through April 13th. The weather is beautiful in Newport Beach and it is a fun opportunity to walk around and learn about the different yachts. Eat lunch at one of the harbor side restaurants, and walk around and enjoy the boats.There is more information on the Newport Boat Show here.
