A plan built specifically for this home.

This presentation brings the property story, likely buyer profile, launch strategy, and marketing plan into one clear view.

Comparable sales and final pricing will be added once the selected comps are provided and reviewed.

01 — At a glance

The opportunity at 14032 Bay St

The strongest presentation begins with what buyers cannot easily recreate: newer construction, a flexible two-suite plan, and a convenient La Mirada location.

Modern 2022 Construction

A newer home offers the clean design, modern systems, and lower-maintenance ownership experience today’s buyers actively seek.

Two-Suite Flexibility

Two bedrooms and three bathrooms create an easy fit for couples, roommates, guests, or a dedicated work-from-home setup.

Approx. 1,220 Sq. Ft.

An efficient, well-proportioned footprint that delivers comfortable daily living without the upkeep of a larger detached property.

Attached-Home Convenience

A contemporary townhome lifestyle in the Laurel Walk community, pairing private living space with a simplified maintenance profile.

Central La Mirada Access

Well positioned for everyday shopping, parks, Biola University, and connections to the 5 and 91 freeway corridors.

Broad Buyer Appeal

A compelling option for first-time buyers, young professionals, downsizers, and buyers seeking newer construction in an established city.

02 — Positioning strategy

How we make the home stand apart

The story is not simply “a two-bedroom townhome.” It is modern, low-maintenance living in an established community where newer homes remain comparatively scarce.

01

Lead With Newness

The 2022 build date is the opening advantage. We present the home as a modern alternative to older La Mirada inventory that may require immediate updates.

02

Sell the Lifestyle

Position Laurel Walk as a low-maintenance home base near parks, dining, shopping, and major employment routes—not simply as another attached home.

03

Show the Floor Plan

The photography and copy will make the multi-level layout intuitive, highlighting privacy, separation of space, and the usefulness of two bedroom suites.

04

Create Launch-Day Contrast

Polished preparation and complete media will help the property stand apart from listings relying on basic portal photography and feature lists.

03 — La Mirada 90638

A connected city with a neighborhood rhythm

La Mirada balances established residential character with parks, education, daily convenience, and access across Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Park and lake lifestyle in La Mirada

Parks & Recreation

La Mirada Regional Park, Creek Park, the Community Regional Aquatics Center, and local golf create an unusually strong recreation story.

Education

Biola University is a defining nearby institution, with local public-school assignments to be confirmed before the listing goes live.

Shopping & Dining

Everyday conveniences, neighborhood restaurants, and major retail destinations are close at hand throughout La Mirada and neighboring communities.

Regional Connections

Access to the 5 and 91 freeways places Orange County and Los Angeles employment centers within practical reach.

Established Community

La Mirada is known for mature neighborhoods, community amenities, and a settled residential character that supports long-term ownership.

Newer-Home Rarity

A home built in 2022 offers a meaningful point of difference in a city where much of the housing stock is considerably older.

04 — Market & CMA

Two nearby sales. Two distinct paths to closing.

These like-sized Bay Street homes establish a useful first benchmark. Their launch prices, market time, and status changes show why the path to the final sale matters as much as the closing number.

Initial read: 14116 Bay St required two price changes, a hold, and a return to market before closing at 94.2% of its original price. 14162 Bay St returned to market once and closed at 98.7% of its original price after 55 days. These results inform the strategy but do not yet establish a final value for 14032 Bay St; condition, upgrades, orientation, and current competition still require review.

Financing context

Mortgage rates from April to today

Weekly average 30-year fixed rate, with the moments each Bay Street comparable went into escrow marked on the line. Your read is correct: the May window was the most favorable stretch of the season, and borrowing costs have risen steadily since.

What this meant for buyers: on a $600,000 loan, the difference between the May window and late July is roughly $120 more per month in principal and interest. That helps explain why 14162 Bay St found a full-price contract in May while 14116 Bay St needed two price changes before going into escrow in August. Rates have kept rising since, which argues for a well-prepared, decisive launch rather than a wait-and-see approach.
