Buena Park, CA

On Sunday December 13th. Santa clause made a special visit to the Lakeside Community in Buena Park! The evening was a big hit with many of the residence from the Lakeside Community bringing their children to visit and take photos with Santa Clause at the Community Clubhouse. The residence of Lakeside were kind enough to bring gifts to donate to some children of the Buena Park Boys and Girls Club. I was able to ask a friend to contact the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim organization to donate hats for the kids. The coaches from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball team including Manager Mike Scoscia and Coaches Mickey Hatcher and Ron Roenicke were kind enough to sign the Angel hats. The hats and the donated gifts will be distributed to the well deserving children from the Boys and Girls Club on Friday. Thanks again to the awesome residence of the Lakeside Community for making the evening with Santa a big hit! A special thanks to Santa Clause, Mike Scoscia, Mickey Hatcher and Ron Roenicke for taking time to make this Christmas special for the kids! Also, a big thanks to the Angels for donating the baseball hats for the kids. Happy Holidays!

After being on the market for over two years, 75 Windward Way in Buena Park's prestigious Gated Community of Lakeside is in escrow! Every once in a while a property will take much longer to sell than much of their competition in the same neighborhood. Recently, I listed a property in the Lakeside community at 75 Windward Way. This Lakeside property had previously been listed for more than two years by myself and another agent. I previously had the listing for about six months about a year ago. The other agent had it listed on two other occasions for over a year and a half. During each of our previous listing periods, we did receive offers on the property, just not the right offers. This was also during a time when the market was changing for the worst. It was hard to figure out the right price to market this property for since the values were dropping so quickly. I re-listed this property about two months ago with a list price of $499,000. Similar properties to this one had closed escrow from $425,0000 to $440,000 earlier in the year. I had noticed an appreciation in the values in the area recently and thought it was a good idea to list the property just under $500,000 to get it noticed. It paid off! We received an offer for asking price with a seller's credit to the buyer for closing cost. Unfortunately for the sellers, the low comparable sales in the area brought the appraised value to only $485,000. After a re-negotiation between the buyer and the sellers, we closed escrow on November 13th For $485,000! Pricing a property properly in this changing market is critical in getting the property seen and ultimately sold in a reasonable amount of time! The Lakeside community is located in the norther end of Buena Park near the border of Fullerton. This gated community is prestigous community of more than 340 properties located just south of the Los Coyotes Country Club. For more Lakeside information go to my website: www.LakesideBP.com
