Sweet Orange

Yesterday, I listed some of the most affordable housing that is currently on the market in Costa Mesa’s Mesa Verde area. Today, I’ll do the same for Costa Mesa’s Central area. Of the four homes listed below, I think that the 3 bedroom on Victoria Street with an asking price of $198 per square foot has the potential to be the best deal.

As a reminder, the current median sold price for detached Costa Mesa homes is $309/SF. The current median sold price for Costa Mesa condos is $189/SF. The current median price per square foot for all homes sold in the previous 90 days is $284.

At 345 Avocado Street Unit 203B is a 1983 condo with 1 bedroom and 1008 SF. The asking price is $215,000 ($213/SF). Homeowner association fee is $225 per month. Note that this home’s asking price has seen many decreases.

At 260 Victoria Street, Unit H3 is a 1984 condo with 2 bedrooms and 920 SF. The asking price is $229,000 ($249/SF). Homeowner association fee is $295 per month. Note that this home’s asking price has seen many decreases.

At 260 Victoria Street #4 is a 1984 condo with 3 bedrooms and 1257 SF. The asking price is $249,000 ($198/SF). Homeowner association fee is $295 per month. Note that this home’sold for $438,000 in 2005.
