See Newport Beach waterfront $3.9 million short sale

It took longer after the housing crash for high-end short sales to come on the market in Orange County, and while they are still relatively rare, you do see more of them now.  Here’s a bayfront Balboa Peninsula house that closed this month at $3,875,000.
.
Highlights:

  • Address: 1314 West Bay Ave.
  • 5 bedrooms, 5 baths
  • Lot Size:  3,778 square feet 
  • Style: 2 level, contemporary, Spanish
  • View: Bay, city lights, harbor, marina
  •  2.5-car garage
  • Year Built: 1936 
     

The home was listed in August, 2009 at $5,900,000.

The remodel included a 55-foot boat dock, with room for a Duffy, says Spyro Kemble, the co-listing agent with Rosanne Kline at Surterre Properties. Kemble also represented the buyer.

Redfin shows 10 nearby, comparable homes have gone for $1,110,000 – $3,700,000 in the last 6 months. Just two on that list were distressed, both bank-owned sales.

Kemble says he’s got 2 more pricey short sales expected to close in the next week. We’ll check in with him soon again..
