Your Second Home can be an Hour's Drive from the SCV
Dreaming of a beach-side home to escape to on the weekends, or after retirement? It may be time to make that dream a reality. Channel Islands Harbor in Ventura County, just an hour from the SCV, is drawing a noticeable number of Santa Clarita residents whom are attracted to the community's affordability, climate and accessibility.
The Channel Islands Harbor area offers the lowest-priced waterfront homes in So Cal, both for beach and marina properties. Harbor homes with docks are a third of what you'd pay in Newport or Huntington Beach - plus Channel Islands Harbor is significantly closer, increasing the likelihood of weekend residents using their homes frequently. Condos on the harbor start at $450,000; boat-dock homes start at $825,000, beach properties are from $500,000 and ocean-front homes start at $2.5 million.
Full-time and part-time residents enjoy cruising the harbor, fishing, experiencing the local fine-dining scene, spending time in nearby Ventura or simply sitting out on the deck and watching the boats and kayakers. There are recreational boating tours to the islands, skin and scuba diving, paddle boarding and much more. It's only 35 minutes south of Santa Barbara, too.
Keith & Arlene Keller Williams Ventura County are the number-one sales team in the Channel Islands area and have sold more than 200 properties in the community. They currently have 14 listings available. 805-338-4466

The Importance of FHA Certification
Do you live in a condominium complex in Santa Clarita? Do you know if your complex is FHA approved? The fact is, many complexes in Santa Clarita are not approved for FHA financing even though, in numerous cases, the complex would qualify and benefit from this popular form of financing. FHA pulled their condo approvals from most complexes during the mortgage crisis and left it in the hands of the HOA management companies to recertify for eligibility. Most management companies have neglected to put the time and relatively-minor cost into FHA recertification. If your complex is not eligible for FHA financing, you are losing out on the hundreds of buyers who are FHA approved. Demand is key to the appreciation of your house value. Even though you might not be selling, someone in your complex is. Ask your management company if your development is FHA approved and, if not, ask them why. A strong demand for homes in your area will support solid values and appreciation into the future.
