Irvine’s University Town Center: Sold Price per Square Foot Trend

Listed below are the statistics for homes in Irvine’s University Town Center neighborhood. As the name implies, the homes in this area are near the University of California at Irvine (UCI). All on the homes on the market in this area are condos; some were bought as investment property.

The numbers for this area show a complicated story. As shown by the numbers listed below, the overall price of homes in this area that have sold since the beginning of the year have been declining. However, the same period shows an increase in the price per square foot that these homes have sold for. Throw into the mix the fact that, although many peaks and valleys exist (see the graph found above), the overall price per square foot trend shows a steady decline. So is this current increase a sign of things to come, or just another peak that will turn into another valley? Too soon to tell.
