Here we are on New Year’s Eve, and it’s time to see the 2015 year end Mesa Verde Costa Mesa records. I am looking back at some of the areas in Costa Mesa to see how they performed over the course of 2015, and I will start it off with Mesa Verde since it is in my own backyard. Let’s see how things looked.
2015 Year End Mesa Verde Costa Mesa Records
Mesa Verde still lags behind Eastside Costa Mesa as the overall price and activity leader in the city, but Mesa Verde performed quite well overall in 2015. Here’s Mesa Verde by the numbers, courtesy of data from our MLS:
Total Sales in Mesa Verde 2015: 133 sales. That is 8 total sales higher than in 2014, but still 25% under the recent record of 179 sales in 2003.
Total Condo Sales, Mesa Verde 2015: Only 4 sales this year. Among the three groups of condo communities (Mesa Verde Villas, Country Club Villas, and Longwood Greens), there were only sales in the Mesa Verde Villas.
Total Single Family Home Sales, Mesa Verde 2015: 129 total sales this year.
Lowest Condo Sold: $321,000 for the sale at 1600 Iowa St # D. This was one of the lowest sales in the city in 2015 for a two bedroom condo.
Highest Condo Sold: $385,000 for the sale at 1614 Iowa #D. This price still represents one of the most affordable prices for a nicely remodeled condo.
Lowest Home Sold: $475,000 for a home at 1654 Oahu Place, a home that sold early in the year and had suffered significant damage due to a fire. Watch for this home to come on the market as a totally remade home in 2016 for more than a million dollars (!).
Prices continued to go up in 2015! Demand was stong, and inventory continued to be very short on supply .

Price Per Square Foot: The low sale by price per square foot was at 1772 Iowa Street for a remarkable low $289.40 per square foot, and the high was at 3117 Barbados for $592/square foot.

Largest Home Sold: The home at 1843 Jamaica had an estimated 6272 square feet, certainly enough to have your whole family move in.
Total Sales in the State Streets: 33 sales total. There were 4 of these homes which were flipped, so the neighborhood saw truly 29 homes turn over in the year.
