Newport Beach Short Sales

Looking for a home in the Corona Del Mar area of Newport Beach can be difficult especially if you have a budget under $800,000.  Currently, there are four available properties for sale in this price range with no single family homes currently on the market.  The condos area located in the Sandcastle and Canyon Cove Condo building.  The Sandcastle is a smaller condo complex in Corona Del Mar with 46 condo units.  Condos rarely come on the market here and when they do they typically sell very quickly.  We did a quick search for sales in this complex and found a recent sale for $535,000 that features a two bedroom, one bath condo that was just over 900 square feet.  This may be a tough comparison if you are moving here from out of state but if you want…

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…
