The Most Affordable in Irvine’s Housing Market—September 2013

According to Redfin, the median selling price in August for an Irvine home was $660K or $388 per square foot. (The list price was $700K or $415 per square foot.) Redfin also provides some statistics for home that sold in Irvine in the last ninety days:

• Median sale to list price: 98.8%

• Average number of offers: 2.3

• Average down payment: 21.0%

• Number of homes sold: 707

Today we will take a look at a few of the homes in Irvine that have asking prices in the most affordable category. I find it interesting that two of the three homes highlighted here have had recent price reductions.
