Santa Monica boast the gentle balminess of weather that seldom drops below the low 50’s or raises above the 80’s. A beautiful beach which stretches for more than three miles of sparkling white sand and warm Pacific Coast waters, are seldom empty of swimmers, sunbathers, volleyball players and at least one or two celebrated movie stars (or at least some of those who would like to be!) And if you tire of the peerless shopping or the gourmet restaurants, take a stroll along the famous Santa Monica Pier or Promenade, visit the Amusement Park and its historic carousel, or sit and watch a magnificent West Coast sunset. The weather will likely be mild all year round, with maybe a little rain in the winter months. Feel free to peek at our local forecast via the links featured on this page.

Financing Your Home >Who Pays the Points When home buyers shop for financing, they must consider two important factors--the interest rate and the points. Each point is equal to one percent of the mortgage amount. If you are selling a home, the buyers may ask you to share the points with them.
The buyer usually pays the points. But if the offer is attractive and will give you the amount you want, paying one or more points might be a good idea. When a contract is presented, your real estate agent will go over the price and terms to help you calculate the net price you will receive. If the offer isn't strong enough or has risky contingencies, you might make a counter offer to increase your profit on the sale by eliminating the points from your selling costs or by increasing the price to help you absorb additional costs you will pay.
In some cases, buyers with limited cash may need some assistance from the sellers to make the transaction work. Your real estate agent will help you look at the total picture and the buyer's overall qualifications, so that you can make a decision based on the bottom line.
