What SIZE homes are selling in Rancho Santa Margarita - South Orange County, CA

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Benefit

In the last 30 days 49 homes have closed escrow in all of Rancho Santa Margarita. There are currently 327 homes listed as Active. That works out to 200 days of inventory or roughly 6.5 months (which is good from both a seller and buyer perspective) I wondered what the sweet spot was size wise. Quickly I found that 1/2 were under 1400sqft and 1/2 were over. But that doesn't really tell the story. So, here is a breakdown of the closings within a 100 square foot range.

Average Square Footage of all closed sales - 1439sqft

Average Price per square foot - $245.72

Lowest Price per Square foot - $174

Highest Price per Square foot - $338

Largest Home in our Data Base to ever sell in Rancho Santa Margarita - 17,510 - but that has to be a typo because it's a condo and it doesn't look very big;-)  2nd largest - 5000 sqft.

Smallest - Good Question - there are 79 sales of homes on record that have zero square feet - talk about small! Note to agents - ALWAYS ENTER THE SQFT - at least in this part of the county

The smallest above zero? 410sqft.

Nothing smaller than 500sqft sold in the last 30 days.

LOL - how funny. I guess we should all be more attentive when we input the info on MLS. I know that Rancho is always trying to compare itself to Texas, but 17000sq feet condo??

I bought a used BMW 740iL from a guy a few years back, and he DID own a 17,000 sqft. home! He sent me photos and wanted me to sell it. Unfortunately, he wouldn't give me an exclusive listing, would only pay if I brough him a buyer. It was located in the high desert near Apple Valley.

Thanks for the post Sarah!
