Location Characteristics: Oceanside is located in the North West portion of San Diego County. There are many beach/coastal communities as well as inland communities that are minutes to the coast. Oceanside borders Camp Pendleton and therefore has a lot of military influence. There has been a lot of redevelopment occuring in the North Coastal portion of Oceanside so you can find brand new row homes/town homes within blocks from the beach.

Real Estate Tips
Cosmetic Improvements >Sunshine Sells

When your home is being shown, you want prospective buyers to feel good as soon as they step into the living room. It pays to give special attention to maximizing the amount of light in your home because dark homes are depressing to many people. When prospective buyers give real estate agents feedback on the homes that we show, they often cite a light, airy feeling as a major attraction.

Begin your preparation for showing your home by cleaning the windows and curtains thoroughly. Open the drapes and blinds to let the sunshine in. Even on a bright day it helps to turn on some lights in the main rooms of the house. If you are using shades or heavy drapes to eliminate a less-than-perfect view, you may want to consider replacing them with translucent curtains in a light color. Sunshine definitely helps to sell homes!
