The News – Ocean Hills Monthly Newsletter

Ocean Hills Country Club has decided after 25 years to change the name of the “Ocean Hills Country Club Newsletter” to “The News.”

Major changes to the Ocean Hills Country Club Newsletter. Ocean Hill’s changes Newsletter.

They have also decided that it would be a great idea to put all the ads in the rear of the newsletter.  Imagine that from the perspective of all the people who advertise in and financially pay for “The News.”  For example, I have supported the newsletter for years by paying for an ad on page 3.  Now the earliest place that I could advertise would be page 38.  Very distressing!   How many people would watch commercials on television if all were put in one lump at the end of each program.  No one!  Time will tell how well this new change works.

The mission of “The News” remains the same: to provide the residents of Ocean Hills with information concerning Ocean Hills Country Club and committee activities, Board decisions and other matters of community interest.  The News will strive to do that accurately and responsibly.

The News has also been reorganized into specific sections that are easily identifiable.  These sections are “Master Minutes,” “Association News,” “Rec. Happenings,” “Clubs and Classes,” and “Services.”  This new design claims to be created to give residents a more reader friendly, visually interesting, and easier to use publications.  But, some could argue that distributing ads throughout the publication provides readers with useful and helpful information that they will now miss with ads placed under “Services,” and conveniently hidden in the back.

 

 

 

Average Price in Ocean Hills

The average selling price of homes in Ocean Hills Country Club (January 2015 – November 2015) was approximately $521,000.  The average listing price for these homes was $530,000.  Ocean Hills homes are selling within $9,000 or within 2% of listed price.  There are always some special homes that have multiple offers and sell above asking price.  If you are an Ocean Hills buyer and see something you really like, you should offer near full asking price.  If you hesitate or offer low, you will find you lost that home to someone else.  The median price of homes in Ocean Hills Country Club is $519,000.

So far, the highest sale of Ocean Hills homes this year was $760,000 for a Mystra floor plan on Andros Way.  This home was in excellent condition, had been remodeled, and had a nice view to the west.  This home was only on the market 8 days.  The cheapest closed sale was $385,000 for a Palma model.

Open Houses

Ocean Hills Country Club open houses are usually held on Sunday afternoons from 1:00 to 4:00.  You can see which homes that will be open on any given Sunday, by selecting “This Sunday’s Open Houses.”  All Ocean Hills homes for sale are listed and Ocean Hills open houses are marked in red. 

Going to an Ocean Hills open house is one way to see Ocean Hills homes, but not really the best way.  For example, 10 homes may be for sale and only one home may be an open house.  The Realtor holding the open house must stay at the home and is not free to show you all the great things Ocean Hills has to offer.  You will not be allowed to “just drive around” and will be expected to leave after your open house visit.

The best way to see Ocean Hills Country Club is by scheduling a free personal tour with Gary Harmon, your Seniors Real Estate Specialist.  Gary will show you the main clubhouse and all the amenities available in Ocean Hills.  The most important thing about a personal tour of Ocean Hills, is you have time to ask Gary questions about all matters relating to Ocean Hills home.  You will leave with an appreciation of Ocean Hills, and enough knowledge to know if “Ocean Hills Country Club” is the place for your retirement years.

Driveway Parking Permitted

For Sale Floor Plans 

The basic rule for parking in Ocean Hills at night is you must be in your garage or breezeway. Basically, you cannot use your garage parking spots for storage and then ask for permission to use your driveway or street. This rule is reflected in the Ocean Hills Country Club CC&Rs and Rules and Regulations. This rule is monitored by the Ocean Hills Community Patrol Service and the Citation Review Committee.

A recent Ocean Hills buyer ask me what you can do if you have three cars. The answer is, if you register three cars in Ocean Hills, one car will be allowed in the driveway at night. No permit is required and the Ocean Hills Community Patrol will be aware that you have a third car.

A permit is required to park in your driveway if you only have two registered cars and you would like to park one of them in the driveway. You can get such a permit up to 30 days for moving in or out of your Ocean Hills home, construction, or for a registered guest. This type of permit comes from the Community Patrol Services.

If you have other Ocean Hills parking questions, contact Gary Harmon, a top Ocean Hills Realtor and Seniors Real Estate Specialist.

Reverse Mortgage Specialist

When I come in contact with something that I think can help Ocean Hills Country Club buyers or other seniors, I just have to share. A purchase reverse mortgage is one of these things, and Owen Coyle is a great person to explain how it works.

Here is Owen Coyle’s bio in his own words:

“I’m Owen Coyle, a 79 year young “Seasoned Citizen” living in Escondido California.

As of April 1, 2015, I’m starting my 11th year as a Reverse Mortgage Specialist.
I have no desire to retire, so as long my health remains good, I’m planning on
setting up reverse mortgages for at least the next ten (10) years to age 90!!!

I absolutely have a passion for working with senior home owners, improving their
“Quality of Life” and giving them “Peace of Mind” by setting up reverse mortgages
for them.

A reverse mortgage is not for every senior, but when “it fits”, it can absolutely change their
life for the better.  When I meet with the seniors, I always suggest that they include as
many of their children as possible in our meetings.  I always want to have the entire family
“On The Same Page” and understand how the reverse mortgage will benefit their parents –
based on their particular situation.

Most reverse mortgage companies do business by using the telephone, email or U.S. Mail
and use a notary to take care of the reverse mortgage “Application” & “Closing Documents”.

I do business “The Old Fashion Way”.  I go to the senior’s home and sit down with them
and their children at their kitchen and talk to them “Face to Face”.  I make sure that I answer
all their questions and that the entire family understands how the program works.”

In 2015 there were many reverse mortgage revisions.  Again, a reverse mortgage specialist like Owen Coyle in necessary to keep you up to date on the latest changes.

Gary Harmon, you Ocean Hills & Seniors Real Estate Specialist, would like to put you in touch with Owen.  Just contact Gary Harmon to learn more.
