Newport Beach
In January 2024, Newport Beach saw a significant increase in the number of sales, with transactions totaling 46 properties. This marks a substantial surge of 76% compared to the previous period, indicating heightened activity in the market.
However, despite the increase in sales volume, the average sales price experienced a slight decline, down by 9% to $3,716,020. This decrease may be attributed to various factors such as shifts in buyer preferences, inventory composition, or broader economic influences.
Corona del Mar
Similarly, Corona del Mar witnessed a rise in the number of sales, with 17 properties changing hands, reflecting a notable uptick of 41%. This surge indicates growing interest and activity within the local real estate landscape.
However, the average sales price in Corona del Mar experienced a decline of 14%, settling at $5,137,500. This decrease suggests potential adjustments in pricing dynamics or shifts in the types of properties being transacted in the area.
Costa Mesa
