'Dr. Beach' reveals America's best beaches for 2012

Coronado Beach Number One Beach 2012 | Coronado Real Estate | Gerri-Lynn Fives

 
Coronado Beach in San Diego tops this year's list of best beaches, compiled annually by "Dr. Beach" Stephen Leatherman.

 

According to Stephen Leatherman, aka “Dr. Beach,” there are approximately 650 major public recreational beaches in the United States. Only one, though, can be No. 1. What strand of sand earns that designation? This year, the honor goes to Coronado Beach near San Diego, which tops Leatherman’s 2012 annual list of the Top 10 Beaches in the country. Released on Friday, the full list includes:

  1. Coronado Beach, Coronado, Calif.
  2. Kahanamoku Beach, Oahu, Hawaii
  3. Main Beach, East Hampton, N.Y.
  4. St. George Island State Park, St. George Island, Fla.
  5. Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii
  6. Coast Guard Beach, Eastham, Mass.
  7. Waimanolo Bay Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii
  8. Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne, Fla.
  9. Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, S.C.
  10. Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, N.C.
The annual list, which Leatherman has compiled since 1991, is based on 50 criteria, ranging from natural conditions (sand softness, water temperature, wave size) to human-related factors (for example, noise, trash or public safety).
 
Stretching from the iconic Hotel del Coronado to Silver Strand State Beach, this year’s winner rose from second place in 2011 and third place in 2010.
 
“It’s flat and hundreds of yards wide so it’s great for walking and playing,” said Leatherman, who has spent much of his career researching and monitoring beaches as director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University in Miami.
 
“It has a fantastic Mediterranean climate. The water quality is excellent, and there’s a great lifeguarding program so it’s safe for families,” he told msnbc.com.
 
For Leatherman, the annual list is part of a lifelong passion for coastal environments, an interest that stretches from his childhood in Charlotte, N.C., where his parents built him a backyard sandbox, to the publication of his latest book, “Field Guide to the Water’s Edge” (National Geographic Books, $21.95), earlier this month.
 
It’s also an outgrowth of his decades of research on coastal erosion, storm damage and beach safety. On this year’s list, for example, Cape Hatteras dropped from No. 5 last year to No. 10 due to the damage caused by Hurricane Irene last August.
 
“There’s still an inlet or two that the storm opened up,” said Leatherman. “They’ve put up some metal bridges but there are going to be delays for people trying to get there.”
 

On the other hand, Hamoa Beach made the list after falling off it last year due to access restrictions implemented by an adjacent hotel. With those restrictions relaxed, the secluded beach outside Hana made a two-year jump from No. 9 to No. 5.


Meanwhile, if recent history is any guide, beach-bound San Diegans may need to prepare for an influx of visitors as local promoters will no doubt use the designation in their marketing materials for the coming year.
 
That was certainly the case with last year’s winner, Siesta Beach, in Sarasota, Fla. (To avoid repetition, beaches are “retired” after their tenure in the top spot.) According to Virginia Haley, president of the Sarasota Convention and Visitors Bureau, the area waged a full-on media blitz, including nabbing the domain name NumberOneBeach.com.
 

The results, she said, included an 18.2 percent increase in revenue per available hotel room (revPAR, as it’s called, a standard lodging-industry metric), a nine-month increase in visitor spending of 17.5 percent over the same period a year earlier and a 647 percent increase in visits to the CVB’s website.

Some of that increase, said Haley, may also be attributed to the fact that a year had passed since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which put a damper on tourism throughout Florida and the entire Gulf region in 2010.
 
Nevertheless, she offers one more bit of support for the significance of being named the nation’s top beach.
 
“I’ve had a couple of local little old ladies say, ‘Stop promoting Siesta Beach!’ ” she told msnbc.com. “That’s when you know it’s working.”
 
Rob Lovitt is a longtime travel writer who still believes the journey is as important as the destination.
 
 

For the past several years Coronado has been ranked among the top 10 beaches in the United States. This year, Coronado was named the BEST beach in the United States. I live, work and play in Coronado. I work to help my clients achieve the dream of home ownership.

2011 WAS A GOOD YEAR FOR HOME SALES IN THE CORONADO CAYS!

THE RESULTS ARE IN…….

2011 was a good year for home sales in the Coronado Cays!

 

Twenty-four single family homes located in the Coronado Cays closed escrow from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. This was the highest number of homes sold in one year since 2005 according to data compiled from ©SANDICOR. According to data gathered from ©SANDICOR, 2011 also broke the record for highest sales price per square foot since 2008.  Gerri-Lynn Fives, a Broker Associate with Prudential California Realty in the Coronado Cays has the honor of being the listing agent for 3 Sandpiper Strand, Coronado Cays, which brought $805.73 per square foot, with only 12 days on market.  In 2011, the average days on market were 120 days.

It is worth noting that four homes sold on Trinidad Bend during 2011.  102 Trinidad Bend, which was also listed by Gerri-Lynn Fives, sold for $430.13 per square foot, which was the highest sold price per square foot on Trinidad Bend. This home only spent 28 days on the market.

Fifteen “attached” homes located in the Coronado Cays closed escrow from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. This was the highest number of homes sold in one year since 2007 according to data compiled from ©SANDICOR.  On May 19, 2011 Gerri-Lynn Fives closed escrow on 11 Catspaw Cape, bringing $618.37 per square foot.  This price per square foot was the highest since 2008 when 35 Catspaw Cape sold for $711.31 per square foot.  Other homes on Catspaw Cape didn’t fair quite as well.  Its neighbor, 17 Catspaw Cape sold for $365.85 per square foot and 20 Catspaw Cape (an off water home) sold for $291.67 a square foot.  This was the lowest price per square foot that sold in 2011.

Antigua Village makes for an interesting case study.  Unfortunately, 41 Antigua Court was foreclosed upon by the bank. The bank brought it back to market and sold it for $349.46 per square foot.  When this happened it made it difficult for the traditional sale sellers of Antigua.  Gerri-Lynn Fives was the listing agent for 13 Antigua Court.  Gerri-Lynn reports having received 5 offers on the property with everyone basing their purchase price on the price per square foot of the bank owned property.  After 347 days on the market and six offers later, Gerri-Lynn sold 13 Antigua Court for $400.63 per square foot.  The average price for all of the 15 attached homes sold was $424.01.

Interestingly, Gerri-Lynn Fives was not the first listing agent for 3 Sandpiper Strand or 11 Catspaw Cape.  Gerri-Lynn listed both properties after they had been on the market for over a year with other agents.  The first thing that Gerri-Lynn did to market the properties was to price them according to the current market condition.  Although no seller likes to reduce the list price of their home, it is imperative if you want to get your home sold.  Listing your home high and waiting for an offer is detrimental.  If you’ve paid close attention to the homes that have sold in the Coronado Cays, you will know that many of the overpriced listings forced the seller a year or so later into a Short Sale or worse yet a Foreclosure.
 
For more information or if you are interested in buying Coronado real estate and touring Coronado homes for sale, I am your local real estate expert. I limit the number of people that I work with so that I can concentrate on giving you the service you need and deserve. Please consider my dedication to the profession with over 12 years of experience, my seven NAR designations and my drive to serve my clients the next time you need a REALTOR®.

Coronado Shines in Citizen Satisfaction Survey! Gerri-Lynn Fives - Coronado Real Estate

Coronado Shines in Citizen Satisfaction Survey 

Everybody loves Coronado and I love selling real estate in Coronado!  What a great community to live, work and play in.  A National Citizen Survey reported that Coronado, California has some of the most satisfied residents in the country.  Coronado used the National Citizen Survey, a joint effort between the National Research Center and the International City/County Management Association, to produce a statistically valid study.  Questionnaires were mailed to 1,200 random Coronado homes (mine was not one of them) and 357 completed surveys were received.  Apparently the response rate (31%) was a typical response rate for a citizen survey.

Over 500 cities across the United States, including about 70 that are categorized as resort communities, have participated in the Nation Citizen Survey.  Coronado’s results were ranked nationally, as well as among resort communities with populations under 55,000. 

Nationally, Coronado ranked high in many of the 110 categories, including:

·         No. 1 of 318 communities in overall quality of services

·         No. 2 out of 255 communities for personal safety in the neighborhood

·         No. 1 of 280 communities in the quality of life

·         No. 3 of 238 communities in recreation opportunities

·         No. 1 of 264 communities in places to retire

When compared solely against resort communities ~ including cities such as Sedona, Arizona; Steamboat Springs, Colorado and North Palm Beach, Florida ~ Coronado, California ranked in the Top 5 in 77 of 110 measures, which included 46, number 1 rankings.  Areas in which Coronado ranked #1 included recreation programs, library services and value of services for taxes paid.  The survey and results can be found on the Coronado website www.coronado.ca.us.

I believe Coronado is a good place to live and offers an amazing quality of life. I stand firmly behind the “product that I sell”.   If you would like to find your next home, call me and I will help you fall in love with my Coronado.  Come for the day, but plan on spending a lifetime here.

The Very Latest Coronado Homes Heading to Auction!

Search All Coronado Foreclosures and Coronado Homes Heading to Auction

Being a Bargain hunter combing through Coronado garage sales on Thursdays is one thing, but picking up a Coronado "bargain" on the court house steps is another. It is not for the amateur. For one thing, it brings "due diligence" to a whole new level. When you purchase a home on the court house steps, you do not get "title insurance". Not having clean title is a nightmare unto itself.

The Coronado Shores, Coronado, California

 

Coronado Shores Condos For Sale - Gerri-Lynn Fives

CORONADO SHORES, CORONADO, CALIFORNIA 92118

 

In 1969 Jerry Snyder had a vision when he purchased 32 acres of ocean front property south of the Hotel Del Coronado. At that time, the land was zoned R-6, meaning that up to 3,000 units could be built. Jerry Snyder met with Bill Krisel, an architect. Krisel had a different vision for the land bordering the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Coronado. He came up with a scheme of high rises that would maximize the view. The Coronado Shores would offer views of the ever changing skyline of San Diego to majestic Point Loma, the sparkling white water of the Pacific Ocean on one side to the Coronado Bay Bridge and the Glorietta Bay and Coronado Golf course on the other. The architect felt that each tower would be 150 feet tall and would not be within 150 feet of each other and each unit must have a water view. Rumor has it that the 150 foot height limit was based upon the flagpole atop the Hotel Del Coronado. By building units vertically it decreased the number of units to 1500 and left more open space.
 
In July 1970, developers broke ground literally and figuratively on the Coronado Shores. The first building was 1730 Avenida Del Mundo, The Cabrillo Tower. It was said, that in building the first building the developer and architect were not quite sure what configuration of bedrooms to build. Should they build studios, one-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms with a den or 3-bedrooms? And so they did a mixture of all. The "01" stack on each floor were studios with a starting price of $37.900. The most expensive unit to sell in the Cabrillo Tower was the corner penthouse unit for $74,900! After the building was completed, the developer learned that the studios were not in high demand. Architect Krisel designed the buildings as construction went along, adjusting to market conditions and lessons learned. According to an article in the San Diego Union Tribune on April 28, 2008 Krisel stated that he was influenced by a South American modernist design. According to Krisel, "There’d never been a high-rise built on the beach in Southern California, so we didn’t know what to build."
 
The building were built in the following order:
 
1730 Avenida Del Mundo ~ Cabrillo Tower
 
1720 Avenida Del Mundo ~ La Sierra Tower
 
1760 Avenida Del Mundo ~ Las Palmas Tower
 
1770 Avenida Del Mundo ~ Las Flores Tower
 
1830 Avenida Del Mundo ~ El Camino Tower
 
1710 Avenida Del Mundo ~ La Playa Tower
 
1780 Avenida Del Mundo ~ La Perla Tower
 
1810 Avenida Del Mundo ~ El Encanto Tower
 
1820 Avenida Del Mundo ~ El Mirador Tower
 
1750 Avenida Del Mundo ~ La Princessa Tower
(Please select the building links above to view all Coronado Shores Condos for sale.)
 
According to Krisel, the jumping around had to do with the idea of "what would happen if this was the last building?" By the time they were building the seventh tower, La Perla, most of the building had been pre sold.
 
With the ground breaking in 1970 for the first building and the last building completed in 1979 market conditions changed as well as building codes. For example, only 5 buildings have sprinkler systems. They are La Playa (1710 Avenida Del Mundo), La Princessa (1750 Avenida Del Mundo), La Perla (1780 Avenida Del Mundo), El Encanto (1810 Avenida Del Mundo) and El Mirador (1820 Avenida Del Mundo). Responding to a change in the energy laws, the last two buildings installed solar panels on the roof in order to keep the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the September 1999 "View from the Shores" Richard Maitland, the then President of the Coronado Shores Company stated that the "Cabrillo Tower had a co-generation plant on the roof. Oil prices came down and so did the plant."
 
The Coronado Shores are all about amenities! There are two clubhouses, four sparkling pools, eight tennis courts, a gym and let’s not forget the 1,800 feet of beach front! Tropical landscaping and lighting are found throughout the grounds.
 
With around-the-clock guard, gated security , 24-hour doorman service and the grounds constantly patrolled by security personnel, The Coronado Shores makes for a wonderful second or third home.
 
With the completion of the Coronado Shores over 30 years ago, it still remains unique. No other project of its size was ever built again in Coronado or on the California Coastline. On May 13, 2008 that same penthouse unit that originally sold for $74,900 was sold once again for $2,350,000. Don’t you wish you had had a crystal ball in 1970? Even though the 1970’s have come and gone, the Shores remains to be a great home, vacation spot and investment. Location, location, location!
 
If you would like additional information on the beautiful Coronado Shores, I would be delighted to assist you. Call me!

Going once, going twice, sold! Coronado Real Estate Auctions!

 
Those were the words spoken yesterday when 29 Delaport, in the Coronado Cays was sold at auction on the court house steps. I have it on good authority that the estimated value was $786,527 and the opening bid was $111,000. Zealous bargain hunters, armed with comps of recent sales in the Coronado Cays bid feverishly bringing the sales price up to $470,000.  

Being a Bargain hunter combing through Coronado garage sales on Thursdays is one thing, but picking up a "bargain" on the court house steps is another. It is not for the amateur. For one thing, it brings "due diligence" to a whole new level. When you purchase a home on the court house steps, you do not get "title insurance". Not having clean title is a nightmare unto itself.
 
What's interesting about 29 Delaport is that the new owner "inherited" a $30,000 tax bill for unpaid property taxes. So, now the sales price for that Coronado Cays home is $500,000. According to data compiled by CoreLogic, the home has 1,347 square feet. The last recorded sale was on June 30, 2006 for $1,300,000. It still amazes me that this seller didn't even try to Short Sale the property. According to our local multiple listing service, the home had not been listed for sale since it sold in 2006.
 
If you are a cash buyer and are looking to invest in the Coronado Cays, the following properties are scheduled to be sold on the court house steps within the next few weeks:
 
1 Buccaneer Way has a sale date of 12/15/10 and an estimated value of $4,122,774
 
55 Spinnaker has a sale date of 12/20/10 and an estimated value of $1,725,176
 
31 Sandpiper Strand has a sale date of 1/3/11 and an estimated value of $1,253,288
 
41 Antigua Court has a sale date of 12/21/10 and an estimated value of $1,022,173
 
24 Mardi Gras has a sale date of 12/13/10 and an estimated value of $1,064,638
 
 
Some of these estimated values are higher than reality. In the example I gave on 29 Delaport, there is a $286,527 price differential in the estimated value and the purchase price. If you would like additional information on how to get a good deal on the court house steps, I'd be happy to share my inside connection with you. Call me!

The NEW Prudential California Realty in the Coronado Cays!

NOT Business as Usual!

Enjoy this Parody and Read on...
 
 
I think it was Mark Twain that said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well, if you look at eleven or so of the "new" listings in the Coronado Cays that were posted in the MLS last week you would think that there were a lot of insane home owners living in the Coronado Cays.
 

In today’s high tech world it continuously baffles me why home sellers will not only list their largest financial asset with an agent that has virtually no Internet presence but continuously touts print media. Then when the house doesn't sell, the homeowner re-lists with the same agent using the same methods that didn’t work the first time.

 
According to the most recent study preformed by the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) 97% of home buyers find their home on the internet.
 
HELLO homeowner, how is your home going to be found if you list with an agent who uses print media and relies only on the multiple listing service as their on line presence. If a buyer can't find your home on the internet, it is not going to get sold. If your listing agents internet domain name is THEIR own name, the search engines will not pick that up. No traffic, no sale! Just for fun, do a Google search on my name and notice that my online dominance is second to none.

Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow?

 
Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow?  Rainbows can be truly awe-inspiring.  They are as everyone knows, a scientifically explainable phenomenon.  However, when you see something that beautiful, you have the urge to stop and stare…..and then tell people about it.  When you work with me as your Coronado REALTOR® I want to deliver to you a referral worthy experience. One that makes you want to stop and tell everyone about working with me.  Because I am at the top of my game by having advanced education (seven designations) from the National Association of REALTORS® and being internet savvy with over 300 real estate web domains, I save my clients time and effort and ensure that the Coronado home buying process is fun and painless.
 
I feel that relationships are more important than transactions; therefore I devote myself to serving the needs of my clients before, during and after each sale.  I know that I must earn your future Coronado referrals, so I aim to exceed your expectations.  I have a vested interest in making sure that you are completely satisfied at the end of our transaction together.  I want you to be so inspired, just the way you are when you see a rainbow that you can’t wait to tell your friends and family about me and the fantastic service that you received.  Somewhere over the rainbow you have a referral for me…..if Coronado is not for you or your referral, I do sell real estate throughout San Diego County.
