Economic recession aside, Orange County is considered to be one of the most desirable places to live. With nearby beaches, mountains, and delicious restaurants and fabulous shopping, what’s not to love? While as a County, Orange County real estate is still struggling, there are a few sweet spots — and not just in the homes I am selling!
Irvine, California is dominating Orange County’s real estate scene. Six out of every 10 new houses, condos, and townhomes being built in Orange County this year are going up in Orange County’s third-largest city. A recent Construction Industry Research Board study reported that Irvine issued building permits made up 58% of the 4,040 new housing units permitted countywide. Irvine homebuilding — spurred in large part by a successful construction program launched nearly two years ago by the Irvine Co. — increased 63% this year over last. It’s the second year in a row that Irvine has accounted for more than half of Orange County building permits.
Irvine has a lot to offer Orange County families: great schools, beautiful parks, and safe neighborhoods. If you are interested in making one of the new homes in Irvine yours, call Cheryl Marquis today.
