Today, I'd like to post a list of all closed sales in Irvine from 12/29/2011 to 1/4/2012. As a kid, I remember reading the newspaper to see what homes in town sold recently – yes, I've been interested in RE for far too long. Over the past few years, I've seen some sites that have posted weekly sales and I think I recall Erika Chavez's blog at the OC Register also doing so a while back. When reading these lists of addresses and prices of sold homes, I'm always wondering what neighborhood the home belongs to or how many bedrooms it has or how many square feet it has. All the data is out there but it is a challenge presenting it in a helpful way. I have some grand ideas on how I want to address that in the future.
But for now, I've compiled the list with a few columns I find helpful. The list is ordered by Area (MLS term that kinda sorta is like a village but not really) and then by the Date Sold. I've tried to clean up some data such as incorrect tract or area names. Redfin offers an awesome feature where they let you view the listing information for homes that have sold – most other sites do not provide this. So, I've added Redfin links to the sold properties so you can easily get even more detailed data on one of these sold homes. Instead of reading 123 Main St sold for $450,000 on 12/12/2011, you'll get a few columns of more info and a link to the actual listing on Redfin. Hope you think it is helpful – it sure was tedious! 😉

Several of these are new homes – any ideas which?
Are you familiar with any of these homes or neighborhoods? OC Fliptrack ring a bell?
How much have they dropped from the peak?
Would you like to see a Buy versus Rent post on one of these properties?
Is this type of post helpful or interesting? Comment away…
Very happy with the blog update, and posts like this.
Thanks AC!
The new homes in the list are:
75 Nature
61 City Stroll
153 Pathway
175 Pathway
Almost new: 86 Hedge Bloom looks like it was purchased brand new in 2010 for $411k.
Great info Zovall. You’re right – it’s hard to get Irvine-wide data by village. Much appreciated!
It is very helpful. Thanks.
The OC Fliptrack reference was to the closed sales in the Tiempo tract in Westpark. He wrote some awesome posts about those back in 2006. Does anyone remember what they were selling for back then?
I wrote [url=https://www.irvinehousingblog.com/blog/comments/collage-northwood-the-second-casualty-in-this-complex/]a post over 5 years ago[/url] about a similar property in Collage, 1602 Timberwood, which has a sales history of:
4/18/2001: $240,000
10/31/2003: $300,000
02/21/2006: $560,000
05/25/2007: $484,358 (back to bank)
12/27/2007: $447,000
216 Timberwood looks like the same plan and closed for $393,000 on 12/29/2011
The 15 Del Carlo home is a beautiful home. Thanks for the post
As you develop future reports you might find using Google Docs helpful in preparing the reports. I’ve linked to a copy of your report in Google Docs.
Once again thanks for the nice report.
Thanks theyenguy! I clicked on the link and it took me to a blank Google document.
