Sell Your Home in Avalon
Avalon is the only incorporated city on Santa Catalina Island, reached by ferry from Long Beach, San Pedro and Dana Point, and known for the Casino building and its crescent harbor. Broker Jay Romero has been trusted by sellers for more than a quarter century to work for the strongest price and a smooth close, and Avalon is part of the area he serves.
Local Prep and Pricing Advice
Island logistics take planning. Schedule repairs, inspections and photography early, since contractors and materials come by boat. Be clear on any rental history and local rules.
Avalon Homes and the Buyers They Attract
Buyers are often looking for a getaway or a lifestyle change, and they care about views, walking distance to Crescent Avenue and rules for golf carts and rentals. Homes are mostly compact cottages, condos and townhomes on hillside streets, many used as second homes or vacation rentals, with limited inventory at any time.
