4th of July in Newport Beach

















Hello,



4th of July on Balboa Island has to be one of the busiest weekends of the year. I moved to Balboa Island a couple of months ago. I decided I was going to park my car on Friday and not use my car all weekend until Tuesday. If you leave your parking space.....it is nearly impossible to find another one. Sunday, a couple friends and I decided to walk to Woody's for brunch. It wasn't too bad of a walk. We were there early so we had a table next to the window. As the restaurant became busy, we hopped on a Duffy that one of my friends own. We headed over to the American Legion......one of my favorite places in Newport Beach.....for the rest of the afternoon. It was great listening to music and watching boats cruise the marina.

Monday, my office manager at McMonigle Group and me, decided the American Legion was so fun that we went back for breakfast. We were hoping to receive a call during breakfast for an invite to go on one my friends boat.....a 70 footer. We didn't receive it so we went walking on the boardwalk. What a crazy place. I was glad we were walking as it was difficult for the bikes to get through the crowds. As we were shopping we did receive a call that the Don Juan was going to be going out on the water. We walked over to the Balboa Bay Club and joined our friends on the Don Juan. What an incredible day on the water. I ended the night by walking to the end of my street on Balboa Island with my dog Sam to watch fireworks. What a great weekend!

This weekend I will be back to work holding an open house at my foreclosure listing in Ladera Ranch. I am hoping the weather will cooperate and there will be many people out looking for homes. The market hasn't picked up as much as we anticipated for summer. I still believe the best buys will be later this fall. BUT, now is the time to list if you need to sell.

Sincerely,
