Hi Friends!​

I’m back from a wonderful vacation with my husband, and we had the best time exploring Greece. We loved Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes, and sailed on Celebrity, which was lovely. It was our first cruise, so we definitely

learned a lot along the way!

This week’s Into the Weekend has a little coastal inspiration, a look at what lower asking prices may mean for today’s buyers, a gorgeous design feature from the Hamptons, and a roundup of waterfront restaurants in Orange County with unforgettable views. I’m also sharing this week’s Coastal OC Hot List of new homes, plus a few fun local events happening around town.

And finally, I’m so happy to share that 2316 North Flower has officially sold. A heartfelt thank you to my wonderful sellers for their trust throughout the process. This special Floral Park home sold for $2,575,000, received multiple offers, closed 5.1% over asking, and achieved a record-high price per square foot in the neighborhood. I was also honored to represent the wonderful buyers and am so excited for their next chapter in this beautiful home.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend, whether you’re heading to the beach, trying a new local spot, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a little slower pace after a busy week. As always, I hope this gives you a few ideas and a little inspiration for the days ahead.

Fondly,

Susan

Lower Asking Prices Are a Win for Today’s Buyers

If affordability has been the biggest thing standing between you and a home, there's a little good news. Asking prices have started to come down.

The typical seller listed their house for a median of $429,500 in May. That’s 2.4% lower than a year ago, according to Realtor.com. On its own, that won't transform what you can afford, but in today’s market every little bit helps and it signals a broader shift taking place.

Artists have long been drawn to the ethereal light in Springs, New York, an enclave of East Hampton that has influenced generations of creative luminaries in pursuit of their craft. The sun has dazzled painters like Lee Krasner, Helen Frankenthaler, and Elaine de Kooning all who spent time in this particular corner of the country.

Weekly Hot List of New Homes on the Market

Here is this week’s Coastal OC Hot List of new homes on the market.

There were 107 new listings that came on the market across South Orange County this week, bringing the total number of homes currently on the market to 616 and 59 of those closed escrow. From those, I always like to highlight a handful that really stand out. Homes with exceptional locations, ocean views, single level living, thoughtful upgrades, or simply something that makes them worth a closer look.

If there is one you might want to take a closer look at, I am always happy to share more details or set up a showing.

I hope you enjoy taking a look at this week’s homes.
