Ocean Front Cottage in the over $20,000,000 price range at Bargain Basement Price....Comparatively.
According to many California sources high end luxury home prices in California are down by as much as 60 %. Homes that listed an asking price of $35,000,000 have sold for around $13 million. It seems to also be true on the East Coast where one New York Estate was prices at $120M and sold for $60M.
There are a dozen 1 and 2 bedroom places within a block or two of the ocean in la Jolla prices at under a million, and there are 20 homes in the same area close to the beach, priced from $2 million to $5 Million, about a dozen from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 and about a half dozen in the $10Million to $25,000, 000 price range. Bargains are relative but compared to prices in 2007 some of these are in the bargain range. The explanation from one source is that many luxury homes have no mortgage or large equity ratios and that a forced sale is not as likely, but at this time sellers of luxury homes are becoming more willing to reduce prices in order to sell.

So if an ocean front luxury cottage or a dream home is what you are looking for now might be your time to call the Mills Team about finding you that very special home at today's more reasonable prices, depending of course on your perspective of a reasonable price!
