A Journey’s End – Chula Vista

by Tom | Jan 16, 2018 | San Diego Real Estate Market

We Buy Houses in Chula Vista and this gorgeous new Green Button Homes remodel is now For Sale waiting for that new family to make it their home. We buy houses to remodel and fix and flip all over San Diego, but Chula Vista has always been good to us in the past with a lot of great remodels under our belt so I felt that if I gave this house a little more special attention it would turn into something really cool and we would find a buyer that appreciates it. The original owner of this home showed it to very many investors and picked us over everyone for our professionalism and experience. They knew their lifelong home was in good hands when they chose Green Button Homes as the buyer. It was in very good original condition but we gave it a complete makeover so it will be a home for a new family for years to come. The addition of a few small architectural details on the outside like the board and batten shutters, knee braces and pergola over the garage dramatically transformed this from a plain stucco box into a real Coastal Craftsman feel. I had originally designed this with a darker grey in mind but to play it safe ended up with exterior colors of Body: Sherwin Williams Earl Grey SW 7660 and Trim: Sherwin Williams Snowbound SW 7004.

Removing the kitchen wall we created a open concept space measuring a whopping 23 x 21 with a 10′ slider out to the backyard. The 9′ entertaining Island and abundance of West facing windows lets the light cascade in. White Shaker style cabinets and Quartz countertops with a white ceramic backsplash in Arabesque pattern are clean yet on trend and appealing for any buyer in todays market. Note the reclaimed wood look on the front of the island to eliminate kid foot marks!

Upstairs over the garage was originally 2 smaller bedrooms and a hallway which we reconfigured into an impressive private master suite with walk out view deck. This is a great space and catches the predominantly Westerly breeze . The ensuite master bathroom received porcelain wood-look tile shower accent wall with a frameless glass enclosure and continued the light grey Coastal Beachy theme.

Final Stretch in Chula Vista

Are you trying to Sell your House fast in Chula Vista? We will purchase it as-is, just like this home we bought directly from the owners with no realtors involved. We paid cash and purchased it exactly as it was, they didn’t have to make any repairs. You can see we are almost done with the complete remodel and trying to wrap this house up by Friday this week. The Chula Vista real estate market is strong and there are not many homes on the market, low inventory in Chula Vista is affecting the supply of preowned homes. We lost a little time over the holidays but everyone is doing a good job. The outside is painted, I went a little lighter than the original concept just to be safer for all buyers. The extra details I added really make the difference.

I went with white Shaker cabinets again with Quartz counter tops and an under mount sink. The back splash is really unique, its called Arabesque. House flippers in San Diego rarely go as far as we do with our rehab projects, this is an example of using your budget in ways that will really provide value for the new home buyer who makes this their dream home in Chula Vista. Stay tuned for all the pics as this great project gets wrapped up at the end of this week. If you are saying to yourself who will “Buy My House” or who is a “Cash Home Buyer” please contact us for an easy sale.

Chula Vista Week 2 Update

by Tom | Dec 18, 2017 | San Diego Real Estate Market

Buy My House in Chula Vista! Walk through with me and see our progress. This house will be for sale after we are done. We got a lot done in the first 2 weeks including creating a great open concept floorplan downstairs and new private master suite space up top. These small details outside with the knee braces and pergola over the garage will dramatically change it from a standard stucco box to something more leaning Coastal California Craftsman. The exterior paint is coming next, I’m really torn with this body color choice you can see the samples up on the wall.

South Bay Double Whammy

by Tom | Nov 20, 2017 | House Design, House Flipping, San Diego Real Estate Market

We have 2 great projects this Winter in the South Bay area of San Diego. These 2 projects in Chula Vista and Imperial Beach are within 7 miles of each other, so we should be able to stagger the subcontractors and do them both back-to-back. While the architecture is completely different on each, I’ve come up with some designs that I think will be a hit.

House #1 will start within a few weeks in Chula Vista which is currently a 5 bedroom, 2 bath 1,600 s.f. We’ll combine the smaller existing 2 bedrooms over the garage to create a large private master suite upstairs. Downstairs are the other 3 bedrooms, hall bath and a giant open concept living/dining room and kitchen area with a set of 10 foot sliders out to the back yard. This house sits on a bluff and catches the westerly ocean breezes and has peek ocean and bay views. The street is great with all nice pride of ownership homes around.

We bought this property directly from the original owners and its probably the last house on this block that hasn’t received a big remodel so I’m really looking forward to the transformation. Here is a before and after of my Coastal Craftsman Design. Its amazing that with just a few very small changes like the shutters, pergola above the garage door, 4 knee braces at the eaves, and the new colors we see such a dramatic change. The grey body and bright white trim I think look good and do not conflict with any of the neighboring houses. The white garage door will complete the new-house look.

House #2 is a great Mid Century 3/2 1,265 s.f. with a 2 Car Garage in the very popular “Seaside Point” Neighborhood of Imperial Beach. It is only 1 block to the Estuary and Imperial Beach is seeing a tremendous amount of redevelopment lately. It’s come a long way from the funky beach town we knew in the 80’s.

There are mega shopping centers, a coastal rezoning plan, and tons of infill new construction going on along with the new Bikeway Village Project. This property has a great floor plan already with vaulted ceilings, low sloping roof line, and an open concept kitchen. The master bathroom is already ensuite so this project will just get a heavy cosmetic/redesign makeover. It was an obvious decision to take this project into more of a modern direction. Check out this before and after of the house flip below.

The house next door to this property already has a grey color scheme, so as not to compete with it I am going all white and clean with some warm horizontal wood accents on the fence and garage face. The bathroom windows will get changed to Awning style windows and I am using my favorite Teal color for an accent pop on the front door.

There is already a lot of modern stuff in Imperial Beach so this will work well. This project is very similar in design to the Clairemont Flip we did this summer. I am very excited at both of these upcoming projects and to be able to roll into 2018 with some momentum. Stay tuned for some updates as we get started in a few weeks on the first house!

Chula Vista Project Coming Soon!

by Tom | Oct 24, 2017 | House Flipping, San Diego Real Estate Market

Another Chula Vista home in Escrow! We will be closing at the end of November and getting started on this awesome house over the holidays to bring it to market in the Spring 2018. Upstairs will be a great private master bedroom over the garage, the house will have an open concept floorplan with all new finishes. It’s on a great street and even has water views.

We will open this kitchen up a little and most likely do an island or peninsula kitchen design. This is an original owner 5 bedroom, 2 bath Chula Vista home and will provide a blank canvas for me to pour my ideas into. I purchased it directly from the original owners that grew up here. They opted for a hassle-free cash sale and will get to come back and see what we do. Green Button Homes is San Diego’s #1 Trusted and Experienced Cash Homebuyer. Stay tuned for the renovation!
