Anaheim was formerly known for wide open spaces including orange groves and strawberry fields which eventually gave way for development once Walt Disney help put the city on the map by creating Disneyland in the mid-1950's. Today it's a bustling community with continued growth including the Platinum Triangle nearPreferred Home Brokers Orange County Real Estate Angel Stadium and the Honda Center.

Many of us who live in Orange County love what I call the friendly sounds of summer, 9:30 pm, you can set your clock by the Disney's celebration of fireworks nightly.

It looks like the price per square foot is up on SFR which is a good sign and days on market is down which is also good.  When I've seen similar numbers in areas around Silicon Valley, it usually means a broader turnaround for the year.

Hi Lynda, Great Market Report. Speaking of a famous mouse, A lttle trivia question for you. Do you know what this fmaous mouse's name was before it become the name you know it to be now?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ans. When Walt first introduced this little creature, he named him Mortimer. It was Walt's wife that suggested the name Mickey and the name stuck.

Great report Lynda, and like your Brea ones, so complete. Anaheim, home to Disneyland is now rumored to be the place where the Sacramento Kings NBA team may move to. Stay tuned. The Angels in baseball took the Anaheim name and dumped the California name years ago. Great city. Home of MORTIMER mouse LOL, see William's comment.

Hey Bryan ~ Thanks for the comment & imput on your market.

William ~ Tnx, and I was wrong in my guess, I thought it was Steamboat Willie.

Gary ~ That's what I've heard, but who knows? Also (sorry William) there has been talk of the S. D. Chargers moving up this way, yet I've not heard the latest. As one from OC, personally I hope it does NOT happen, I love the people in S.D. & wouldn't want to see this happen to thDucks of Anaheimem.

One thing I did not mention is that the Honda Center (some of us still call it the "Pond") is home to the Anaheim Ducks. Here's a photo from two nights ago, it's my grandson Kyle on the ice before the game. Boy was he excited. I'd also like to say the Ducks of Anaheim gives a lot back to our community, they are huge supporters of CHOC, Children's Hospital of OC, of which we (as a family) are also big fans.

Lynda your market reports are always so informative and to the point.  Seem short sale is still a big factor in the market, a good opportunity for buyers.
