Why are homes with HOA’s taking longer to sell?

I was recently asked why many condos are taking longer to sell in today’s market. While factors like higher HOA dues, rising insurance costs, financing challenges, and changing buyer preferences can impact demand, that doesn’t mean condos aren’t a great investment.

For many buyers, condos still offer an incredible opportunity for homeownership, affordability, and lifestyle. The key is understanding whether a condo is the right fit for YOUR goals.

Thinking about buying or selling a condo and not sure where to start? Let’s chat. 

What’s for breakfast?

Craving that “old school” diner feel? The kind we’d pop into before or after school for a delicious meal? Well, fortunately, @omeletteandwaffleshop in San Pedro still has that feeling we all adore.

They’ve been serving the community since 1995 and apparently have over 100 omelets on the menu. 🤯

Their slogan is “Where Old Friends Come to Meet,” so what better place to meet an old friend than this cutie restaurant.

Pop in soon and eat local.

According to witnesses, in the dim light through the painted window, some saw the shape of a tall, peaceful woman in a flowing gown who would slowly pace the tower’s walkway. 👣

Many believed her to be the first lighthouse keeper’s wife who stumbled from the edge of a cliff one foggy night.

There are many other conspiracies including those who believe she is waiting for the return of a lover who’s lost at sea and others who think that she is the shade of a heartbroken woman who threw herself from the cliffs when’s she found herself abandoned by her intended.

The ghostly shadow continues to persist at Point Vicente Lighthouse. 😳 Source: terranealife.com
