Benefits of Owning a Home in El Segundo

September 7, 2018 by

Owning a homel, especiallin in El Segundo, has so many benefits that it’s hard to argue against the merits.  While every owner has different reasons and some are more important to one homeowner than another, there’s no lack of great reasons….

Here are just some of the benefits:

  • Appreciation:  Home values have a welll documented history of going up over time.  While there may be temporary dips in the market, there’s no question that home values go up in the long term.  The increase becomes equity you can benefit from when you refinance or sell.
  • Equity:  Renting has often been compared to paying 100% interest, but when you own a home and a mortgage is in place, a portion of your payment goes towards the principal balance on your loan….meaning each month you own a little bit more outright.  This builds your equity and acts as a savings or retirement account.  When the home value goes up the equity accrues even faster.
  • Happiness.  While some investors might think this is frivolous, you simply can’t understate how important this is.  The feeling of owning your hown home is unlike anything else people own.  It’s yours and it’s simply not the same thing as renting.  You can fix it up, you can spend your time gardening or mowing the lawn, you can fix it up….knowing that….it’s yours.
  • Tax Savings:   Home ownership has long been a goal for buyers and the government alike.  The government rewards homeowners by providing excellent tax benefits.  Interest paid on your mortgage and other home related expenses can often be deducted, there are huge capital gains tax exemptions when you sell (primary residence) and more
  • Education:  Research shos that children of homeowners earn higher test scores and graduate at a higher percentage than those of renters.
  • Community Ties:  People who own rather than rent stay in their homes 4 times longer according to statistics.  This provide and opportuntiy to get to know you neighbors and connect with you neighborhood and local community.

July 2018 Highest Price Home Sale in El Segundo

July 14, 2018 by

It wasn’t long ago that we were wondering if a $2,000,000+ home price was possible in El Segundo.  It then became a question of whether $2,000,000 would become a relatively common number.  We’ve seen several $2.0M price sales in the past few months.

July saw a big number as well with the sale at 748 Lomita in El Segundo.  This was a 2004 built Mediterranean home with 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bath and an estimated 4,000 square feet.  Priced and sold at $2,300,000 and listed by Lynn O’Neil of Beach City Brokers.

One Unusual Sale in El Segundo – 928 Eucalyptus

June 5, 2018 by

As I tell many clients I can sell any house it’s just a matter of price. The more work it needs to the lower the price but people will buy just about any home, in any condition. Having said that 928 Eucalyptus is an unusual sale at best. The home was under construction and that construction stopped several years ago. The home is framed and at one time would have been ready for some of the finishing work.  At this point, however, it looks more like a haunted house as it’s sat empty and unworked on for years.

The current owner has no blueprints or plans, and most likely the current home will need to be torn down and started over.  Continuing construction is always challenging as many of the items would need to be torn apart and put back together.

Listed at $1,550,000 it’s a tall order but if the construction can be continued where it left off….and that’s unlikely….it’s a very large home and will someday be the property the original owner envisioned.  One challenge is that a lender will not loan on a home like this so any purchase would need to be all cash.  Contact us for more info.
