One of our more popular searches from buyers looking to get into the Newport Beach Real Estate market is for homes and condos under the $500,000 price point.  In Newport Beach it's very difficult to find a single family home under $500,000 so most buyers elect for condos and town homes.  One of the better condo buildings in Newport Beach to find a quality condo in the heart of the Dover Shores area is the Dover Village condo community.  Besides the ideal location near the water and the beach, Dover Village offers two levels of town home living with living quarters on the first level and bedrooms located on the upper level.  All Dover Village condos come with two bedrooms and two baths with a two car garage.  The community features a community pool…

If you have been thinking about investing in Newport Beach Real Estate in 2012 you are not alone.  The real estate market has seen a lot of ups and downs in the last 5 years and many wonder if we are at the bottom of the market?  The Newport Beach Real Estate market is unique to it's own as many Newport Beach home owners pay all cash or a large sum down when purchasing a home.  The result of this habit is the lower number of distressed properties on the market.  In fact, in 2008 when the rest of the country started to go down, the Newport Beach Luxury Real Estate market saw some of the highest sales and seemed to be sheltered from the mortgage fall out.  There is no doubt that we have seen a decrease in prices in Newport Beach but we are starting to…
