By JONATHAN LANSNER

I can definitely attest to this, my last listing at 3205 Colorado Place in the Mesa Verde Community of Costa Mesa was put in escrow within two days of putting it in the MLS. In fact, the offer was wrote at my very first open house at the home. Need to sell your home fast? Call me- 714-957-6677 Kurt Galitski

Story Highlights

Real estate for sale in Costa Mesa looks brighter by one set of statistics.

Every two weeks, Orange County broker Steve Thomas publishes a report on the supply of local homes for sale. Here’s what the latest report — as of June 23 — has to say about Costa Mesa …
  • 244 residences listed in brokers’ MLS system with 82 new deals opening in the past 30 days.
  • By Thomas’s math, this community has a “market time” (months in would take to sell all inventory at current pace of new escrows) of 2.98 months vs. 3.19 months found two weeks earlier vs. 3.42 months seen a year earlier. Countywide, latest market time was 3.72 months vs. 3.37 months a year ago.
  • So, homes in this community — in theory — sell 20% faster than the countywide pace.
  • Of the homes listed for sale in this community, 86 were either foreclosures being resold or short sales, where sellers owe more than the home’s value. So distressed properties were 35.2% of supply of homes for sale vs. 33.5% countywide.
  • Homes for sale in Costa Mesa represent 2.1% of Orange County inventory — and 2.3% of all the distressed homes listed for sale in Orange County. New escrows here are 2.7% of all Orange County’s new pending sales.

Compare these trends to countywide patterns:

  • Cities with highest level of distressed properties among their listings? Portola Hills was tops — 65.0% — followed by Anaheim at 61.6% of listings and Rancho Santa Marg. at 60.2% of listings.
  • Fewest? Corona Del Mar was tops — 3.8% — followed by Seal Beach at 4.7% of listings and Laguna Woods at 7.6% of listings.
