Costa Mesa Real Estate News - Costa Mesa Market Report

Originally no more than a way station built by Spanish missionaries, Costa Mesa's first real estate development occurred in the 1880s. This failed to prosper, but Costa Mesa has thrived.

Long time residents may remember when the area was called Fairview and Paularino, but today, the city is a focal point in Orange County with the Orange County Performing Arts Center, South Coast Repertory Theatre and South Coast Plaza as major drawing points. It is hard to believe that Costa Mesa was once nicknamed "Goat Hill" because of its rural flavor.

The modern day Costa Mesa real estate market began as beach bungalows just minutes from the ocean. Even then, Costa Mesa, bordering Newport Beach, captured the best of Newport Beach living at a fraction of the cost. While Costa Mesa may be more affordable than comparable homes in Newport Beach or Corona Del Mar, this is a relative matter as all of Orange County real estate is perceived to be some of the most desirable in the United States.


The market report for Costa Mesa is below:

Based upon general definitions, it appears that Costa Mesa Real Estate should still be in a Sellers' Market based on the level of inventory, many still seem to believe we are in a Buyers' market. However, I am starting to see more inventory in the last few weeks, which is moving Costa Mesa more toward a stable market rather than a buyers' or sellers' market. Given all that is going on in the credit market and the banking industry, we are in an unusual time and will have to see what happens over the next few months as things hopefully begin to stabilize.

Interesting history on Costa Mesa. I lived there in 1969-1970 and loved it. I worked at Fairview State Hospital and lived close by. We decided to move back to Tempe Arizona because we could afford to purchase a new home here but not in Costa Mesa. This summer on a road trip I showed my granddaughters the tri-plex I lived in and where I worked . Both are still there. That is my history in Costa Mesa.

Deanne - Thank you for sharing your history. I know that California has always been relatively more expensive than most of the rest of the state, and even crazier a few years ago.

Even so, for me this is where I was born and raised and a place I am fortunate to call home.
