Have you ever wondered if your property taxes are fair and accurate?  It’s that season, so you might.  A couple of weeks ago I’m in my office minding my own business and in comes a former client from about 20 years ago.  She and her husband had bought a home from me in Lunada Bay and, when property values dropped in 2009-11 she looked into getting their property tax re-assessed.  She succeeded and has used that experience to do every homeowner a favor by founding ProperyTaxCheck.net, which looks at your property taxes the way the County would in a perfect world.  It couldn’t be simpler – just go to that site, type in your home and email address, click on Run Tax Check, and voila!  You find out if your property is fairly assessed or not.  If not, click the Appeal button.  Couldn’t be easier, especially compared to the potential benefits.  I am grateful to have such smart clients; if you want to be one, call me.

I’ve got several new listings in the pipeline, which are going to hit the market about the time you receive this:

5715 Capeswood is a 4 bedroom 2 bath 2085 square foot, one level, one owner home in Grandview Estates.  Apart from a heart-stopping panoramic coastline/city view from Malibu past Mt Baldy, it has a large well-maintained pool and just about every upgrade you can think of.  I’ve included a flyer on it.  $1,995,000.

In upper Lunada Bay 2525 Via Sanchez, PVE, is a 3100 square foot, remodeled 5 bedroom 3 bath home with a lovely ocean view on a quiet street.  This home is within walking distance to PVIS and PVHS and is in turn-key condition.  $2,395,000.  It may be on the market by the time you receive this, so if you’re interested, call me.

If you’re looking in Valmonte, 3921 Via Solano is an extremely well-maintained 2062 square foot 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home located on one of Valmonte’s most popular streets.  Being sold by the current longtime owner, it sits on a flat lot and has a surprisingly nice city/coastline view out the back.  If you’d like to re-create for your kids the Valmonte “Leave It To Beaver” days that some of us were lucky enough to grow up in, this is your chance.  $1,995,000.
