@CarolWalshReal1 It would be very easy to work from that kitchen table. Even coffee would taste better in that space.

@follard Many banks offer lower rates if you have a relationship with them. You don't have to be a millionaire either. Discounts can start at $20K or so in the bank. Buyers need a good lender to strategize with.

The OC luxury market didn’t break — it matured.
Inventory steady, demand rising, and homes moving with intention (not panic).

Hi Orange County friends! 👋

If you or someone you know in Laguna Beach or other parts of OC has a home in a high or very high fire hazard zone, there’s a new state program that could help.

AB 888 (the California Safe Homes grant program) prioritizes funding for low-income homeowners to replace roofs with fire-safe materials and create a 5-foot noncombustible Zone 0 around the house. These upgrades can make a real difference in wildfire protection and may also help with insurance.

Many properties in Laguna Beach (especially ZIP 92651) and nearby cities already fall within qualifying zones on the current maps.Applications aren’t open yet, but the program is up and running under the California Department of Insurance.

You can check the latest status and watch for the application portal here:

I haven't watched this show yet but may need to if it features this beautiful estate. I am, however, a fan of Dark Winds. I love that they built a set they could live in.

@ElGabineteDeLas Incredible. The video looks like a giant hand over an actual swimmer. Your skill painting water is stunning.

New condo mortgage rules from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac took effect this week and may lead to longer approvals or more denials for buyers. As of August 3, 2026, the limited (or streamlined) review process—previously used for up to about 40% of loans—has been retired in favor of full project reviews for most buildings.

Lenders must now examine association finances, reserves, delinquencies, insurance, and more in greater detail. A separate change, effective January 4, 2027, raises the minimum reserve allocation from 10% to 15% of annual assessment income.

These updates, overseen by the FHFA and rooted in efforts to strengthen financial and structural oversight after events like the 2021 Surfside collapse, aim to reduce risks.

For buyers, the result can be delayed closings if HOA paperwork is incomplete, or denials if a building fails eligibility—potentially limiting future resale options if the project loses warrantability.

Owners may face higher dues to meet the new reserve levels, adding to existing cost pressures that have already contributed to a rise in HOA-related foreclosures.

If you are buying, selling, or refinancing a condo, request the association’s budget, reserve study, and insurance details early.

Reach out to discuss the ins and outs of selling your condo or purchasing one.

@LadyHollowTree My husband has set my backup morning alarm to Jingle Bells already. We decorate the day after Halloween. I’ve come to enjoy the tradition.

Proud to share another successful team closing at 9 Brighton Place in Laguna Niguel. This fully reimagined single-level home in the Beacon Hill Seawatch community offered buyers a bright, modern coastal retreat just minutes from Salt Creek Beach, with easy access to community pools, tennis courts, parks, and highly regarded schools. Grateful to the buyers, sellers, and our Livel Real Estate team for a smooth transaction. Looking for your next move in South Orange County? Let’s connect.

In the coastal Orange County communities where I work, homeownership remains one of the strongest paths to building lasting wealth. Nationally, the typical homeowner holds roughly 40 times the median net worth of a typical renter. In markets such as Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, long-term appreciation and substantial home equity make that advantage even more pronounced. Owning a home by the ocean is more than a lifestyle decision—it is a meaningful foundation for financial security. If you are curious about what this looks like in today’s market, I am always happy to share insights.

On this day in 2024… It was a full morning that started with a sea lion release at Aliso Creek and ended with a nice walk through some of my favorite shops in Laguna Beach.
