In the old days, coal miners would take a canary into the mine as an early warning system - the bird would pass out if the air couldn't sustain life, giving the miners an early warning to get out of the mine. Laguna Beach real estate is no different.
Witness our own Laguna Beach Canary, 2616 Victoria Drive. Bought in March 04 for about $1.5M, it now sports an astounding $4.3M price tag after an extensive renovation. I doubt this flipper spent more than $1m on it, but in any event, it has been listed 51 days already. It is in an awesome location quite close to the beach, but it lacks the common area amenities found in local gated neighborhoods. Given prices in LB have slid back to 2005 or so, I'm wondering if this one will sell at something like $2.2M-$2.5M.
Stay tuned for our canary watch! In the meantime, keep an eye on Laguna Beach homes for sale!
