About the Santa Monica Real Estate Market
 With sunny, palm-lined beaches on one side and the excitement of Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles on the other, Santa Monica has the best of both worlds. Santa Monica is a fun place to live, with gorgeous beaches, an extensive bike-path and pier, over 400 restaurants, and some of the most diverse shopping in the world.
Those seeking to buy homes in Santa Monica have a good range of options. Sunset Park, the College Streets, North of Wilshire, Gillette's Regent Square, North of Montana and Santa Monica Canyon are predominately older and brand new single family homes, with some condos and townhomes. Ocean Park, North of Wilshire and Ocean Avenue are predominately condos and townhomes with some single family homes. Click on the link (to the left) entitled Market Conditions Report. On this link you will find comprehensive Market Statistics which I update daily, Monday - Friday.
Santa Monica remains an excellent place to invest: all neighborhood property prices have risen during the several years and this tendency is extremely likely to continue. For My Santa Monica Market Conditions Report which I update daily, Monday - Friday, go to: Santa Monica Market Conditons Report Despite rising prices, residents still enjoy a wide variety of housing cost options. Santa Monica has a lot to offer the commercial property buyer. Almost 10 million square feet is devoted to commercial use, including retail, office, hotels, and restaurants. Los Angeles County residential property taxes are set at 1.5 percent of the property's current market value.

Closing or Settlement >Closing Dates
The final closing date is an important item in the negotiation of the purchase agreement on a home. This is the day when the buyers get their ownership papers and the sellers get their money. It is important to remember that most standard contracts don't pinpoint a specific date, and closings can be delayed due to factors beyond the buyer's control.
The closing will usually be set as soon as the title search and lender's paperwork can be completed. However, any number of factors can interfere with the closing schedule. For example, questions can arise about liens against the property that were paid, but not properly recorded. Items in the buyers credit history may have to be cleared up. These situations rarely cause the transaction to fall apart, but they can wreak havoc with your moving schedule. Your real estate agent will keep you up to date on the progress of your closing in order to avoid delays and minimize any inconvenience.
