Coming Soon in Costa Mesa! 🌿‌

 

There’s something about a beautifully updated home in Costa Mesa that makes buyers stop in their tracks. Especially when it’s tucked in the desirable Costa Mesa area, just blocks from Newport Beach, 17th Street, and some of the best schools in Orange County. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Costa Mesa charmer is the perfect example of why this neighborhood is one of the most sought-after pockets for OC buyers.

If you’re considering a move to Costa Mesa or planning to sell your home, here’s what makes homes like this one so appealing—and how you can take advantage of that demand.

 

 

 

Why Buyers Are Drawn to Costa Mesa

Location is everything: Just minutes from the beach, the Back Bay, and local hotspots.

Top-tier schools

Community charm: Wide streets, mature trees, and neighbors who actually wave hello.

Function meets flair: Many of the homes, like this one, have been thoughtfully remodeled to maintain character while embracing modern design.

With inventory still low across Orange County, buyers are zeroing in on turnkey homes in Costa Mesa—especially those with outdoor space, updated kitchens, and an office or bonus area.

Inside This Picture-Perfect Home

This single-level home hits all the right notes:

Four spacious bedrooms with versatile layouts

Beautifully updated kitchen with open shelving, subway tile, and quality appliances

Bright and inviting living space that opens up to the lush backyard

Dedicated office space

Entertainer’s yard: Patio, lawn, and privacy hedging for year-round indoor/outdoor living

For buyers, homes like this are hard to resist. For sellers, it’s a playbook on how to present your property in a way that resonates.

What Sellers in Costa Mesa Should Know

If you’re thinking about selling, this is a prime moment to act. Here's why:

High buyer demand: Costa Mesa has become one of the most competitive micro-markets in coastal Orange County.

Price appreciation: Thoughtful updates and staging can add real value.

Emotional appeal: Buyers want homes that feel like a lifestyle upgrade, not just another stop on a tour.

Pro Tip: How to Get Your Costa Mesa Home Market-Ready

I work closely with sellers to:

Recommend smart pre-listing upgrades (paint, lighting, landscaping)

Professionally stage the space for maximum impact

Market with targeted outreach to active Costa Mesa buyers

Connect you with trusted local vendors who can prep quickly and professionally
