Newport Beach Ocean View Condos

Newport Beach condos come in all shapes and views depending on what part of Newport Beach you are looking to call home.  Most condo buyers moving in to the Newport Beach area want some kind of a view.  Views can vary from ocean to water views to views of the canyon and hills.  If you are in the market for a water view condo then there are a few key areas you should start your search.  Of course, budget always comes into play as price ranges can vary a lot and currently range from $300,000 to $3 million dollars. 

1) Start your search around the Balboa Peninsula area.  Condos in this area are abundant and if you can find the ideal condo along the Newport Bay then the views will be spectacular.  The Peninsula is a mixture of condos, homes and multi-unit

Newport Beach is home to many condos in all different price ranges.  If you are looking for a smaller condo for a primary residence or vacation rental then finding a beach close condo under the $400,000 price range can be tough in today's real estate market.  One of the places we love to show condo buyers is the Villa Balboa condo community.  The condos here usually will start just under the $400,000 and expect to find a one to two bedroom condo in this price range.  The Villa Balboa has one of the best locations and is perched at the very top of the hill that overlooks the Newport Bay and the Pacific Ocean.  There is a walking trail that goes around the perimeter of the building that is very popular with outdoor enthusiasts who like to take in the

One of the best locations when looking for condos near the beach in Newport Beach is the Villa Point condos.  Villa Point is ideally located at the corner of Jamboree Road and Pacific Coast Highway that's just on the outskirts of Balboa Island.  This beach close location and association amenities have made Villa Point one of the top choices when looking for a condo under $500,000.  In the last 6 months we have seen several condos sell in the Villa Point area from $387,500 to $725,000 which makes the current inventory of condos a really great deal.  Currently, there are three Villa Point condos for sale with one being offered for sale for $303,250 that's listed as a short sale.  If you are looking for a well priced condo then it's really hard to beat this

If you are in the market to buy a luxury water front condo in Newport Beach you may want to consider the famous Mai Kai condo building in the Corona Del Mar area of Newport Beach.  Mai Kai Condos were originally built in 1960 as the premier bayfront building in Newport Beach.  Back then you didn't have many choices when looking for luxury condos located directly on the water.  The condos features one to three bedroom models with various square footage's.  Expect to get around 1,347 square feet for the one bedroom, 1,651 to 1,857 for the two bedroom with luxury 3 bedrooms in the 3,000 square foot range.  All condos are located on the "Yacht Club Row" in Corona Del Mar and have wonderful views decks of the boats, the Newport Bay and faces Balboa Island. 

We have had several requests for the famous Cannery Lofts for sale here in Newport Beach.  Where exactly are the Cannery Lofts?  The Cannery Lofts is a wonderful bayfront and bay close multi million dollar lofts that are situated in the Newport Bay next in the Cannery Village area of Newport Beach.  These ultra contemporary bayfront and bay close residences have been on the market recently in years past and have sold as high as $4.5 Million dollars.   The lofts were built in 2004 and combine lofts built on the 1200 block of Lafayette & the 500 block of 30th street as part of a commercial/residential mixed use property.

These very sleek condos were built with floor to ceiling glass and clean contemporary lines and often combined concrete floors and

As the market continues to change in Newport Beach one thing is true that the deals are becoming harder to find as the bottom of the real estate market has passed us.  Local media outlets have reported that the Newport Beach Real Estate market is now on an upswing which is causing many home buyers who were on the fence to get out and start looking at properties.  Interest Mortgage rates are still low making this the perfect storm for locating a home.  Currently, the inventory of homes is at a very low point making it even more difficult to find the "good deals."  When looking for well priced homes we always recommend distressed properties.  In the last several years the common thread for most home buyers is finding the nicest home for the lowest price. 

The Newport Beach Real Estate market is definitely picking up as recent reports in the OC Register indicate a spike in the number of buyers making offers on property.  A perfect example of this is an ocean view condo in the Newport Heights area that I was showing over the weekend.  The condo was located in the Versailles gated community, which is located just a couple blocks to the pacific ocean and the sandy beach.  The condo was located on the penthouse level with two large bedrooms and great ocean views from the living room and master bedroom.  Being bank owned and priced very low at $275,000, the condo accepted an offer with only being on the market for 8 short days.  If you are in the market to buy property in Newport Beach keep in mind other buyers
