Irvine, California, home resales have continued to be on the upswing. 
We see lots of buyers and investors getting involved. Homes at under $500k are in special demand, get multiple offers, and are on the market a very short time.
There are now only 558 Irvine homes listed at MLS on the market.
135 Irvine homes are short listings, which are mostly not good situations for buyers.
15 Irvine homes are bank owned REO after foreclosure.
187 Irvine homes have sold during the past 30 days ending September 13, 2009. Average sold price for those 187 homes was $671,743.
We expect the positive Irvine sales trend to continue.

Irvine is a great place to buy a home and live. Expect that Irvine home resales will continue to improve and that buyers and investors will stay focused and involved.
