costa mesa homes: Costa Mesa Real Estate Minute November 9, 2008 - Costa Mesa Market Report - 11/09/08 03:28 PM
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 became an agricultural center known for apples and lima beans.
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.

Based upon general definitions, it appears that Central Costa Mesa should be in a Sellers' Market though it still appears to be a Buyers' 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.

costa mesa homes: Why Buy a Condo instead of a Single Family Home? - 11/06/08 03:17 PM
Often, I have clients tell me that they only want a single family home or they would prefer a single family home but will take a condo if they have to do so.
Most people understand the preference for a single family home - no one shares walls, bigger yard, more room to expand a home, make any changes you want (if city codes permit), etc.
