If you lived in La Mirada you would most likely be one of approximately 50,000 residents and you would be:

  • 27 miles to LAX ~ Los Angeles International Airport
  • 23 miles to John Wayne Airport 36 miles to
  • Ontario International Airport
  • 10.5 miles to the "Happiest Place on Earth" Disneyland

La Mirada is a wonderful community known for many things including nice homes on beautiful tree-lined streets. It's been one of my favorites since very early in my real estate career. The city is also know for Biola College and the famous La Mirada Theater. The newest attraction just opened, "SPLASH" the acquatics park, this is an amazing place you have to see for yourself! What fun, it's located on 18 acres of the La Mirada Regional Park. Personally, I'm a huge fan of parks, and I think La Mirada Regional  is one of the best in Southern California, best of all, it's free of charge.

If you're interested in finding out more about real estate if the great City of La Mirada, contact me, Lynda@PreferredHomeBrokers.com or visit my Living In La Mirada and see why  La Mirada was also ranked as 'One of the best places to live in 2007" Money Magazine.

Lynda, looks like La Mirada is doing well.  Days on the market is not extensive and properties are moving.  What an excellent job in capturing this activity for your market!

Lynda--Overall the market doesn't seem to be too far down in the La Mirada area. Lots of activity in December compared to 2006. Though the average sales price is down a bit, the market still appears pretty strong. Wonderful report! I am certain it will be helpful to all looking to buy and sell in the area in 2008!

Hi Teri ~ You're right. The year end numbers show about a 7% decline in prices year-to-year and  the number of sales has fallen off about 22% from 2006.

Bill ~ Thank you.
