Here in the great O.C., we are known for amazing weather, beautiful beaches, lots of surfers, great shopping malls, artists, Laguna Beach, Disneyland and I can go on and on. However, in the past few years a dark cloud seemed to move across our skies as we watched business after business close their doors. So it is with a cautious sigh of relief that I read this mornings paper.
I keep hearing rumors that one of the biggest issues in real estate is that there are so few properties on the market. Does this mean what I'm hoping it means. Will developers/builders/investors strive to meet the demand for more housing?
Will this mean more jobs?
I decided to surf the net to see what some of the new homes in Orange County are looking like. I think we have a unique design style called "California Casual." Some of the following homes are a good example of that style.
I've included some pics of a beautiful new golf course. With our beautiful weather, Southern California is the perfect place to live the "Golf Lifestyle."
So, does this news make you as happy as it does me? Did you see a favorite room setting?
Hope you are having an awesome Sunday!
Cindy, while your post points out the loveliness
ReplyDeleteof your area, the business's declining is a symptom of our bad economy, which doesn't appear to be doing better at all. It is more expensive to live in Southern California and, perhaps, many families simply cannot afford the lifestyle they used to enjoy. There will always be new homes in beautiful newer neighborhoods...remember this is what led to the economic decline in the 1st place. As an interior designer I know you need to see this as a way which will lead to more clients. Pray that we can hold on for 4 more years and then we might see a real upswing.
Marsha, thank you for your thoughtful post. I'm praying!!
