Dang. I might be able to afford in Coto now. Some of those numbers look tempting. Goran might be driving by Coto this weekend.

Groundhog sez.................Amazing news, those nasty bears are invading the hollowed hills of COTO??

 

Is this iconic OC housing development entering into a period of price/sales decline?

 

How can this be? I sure hope Bob is ok, he always says things are going well in Coto.

 

Them old bears might just love a nice "Coto Steak", even if a bit old and tough to chew. But not too rare priced please.

 

Heck, even a lowly groundhog could make a drive there now, a tourist trip. I have always longed to see where the rainbow ends (?).

Re: Coto experts...what will this place sell for?

Hi G.H., I'm not sure where the Register got THEIR information, but I have two different responses.  First, they seem to be referring to a 22 day period of time, which ended on 9/14. ( 3 weeks ago.)  Second, it isn't only Coto, obviously, but all of the 92679 Trabuco Canyon zip code.

 

As for Coto de Caza, as cdcrezz surely knows, here is a comparison of closed sales in Coto, comparing the period from 1/1/2010 to 10/7/2010 when there were 160 sales at an average price of  $1,094,218.

 

For the exact same time period in 2011, ( 1/1/2011 to 10/7/2011.) there have been 165 closed sales ( Isn't THAT a higher number than 160?) and the average price has been.....wait for it.......wait for it:  $1,090,419., about a $3,799 difference. ( I'm not a math whiz, but that sounds like a third of a1% drop(?) to me.  Wouldn't a statistician consider a result like that negligible? )

 

I have been working in Coto for about 25 years, and I have yet to find any cliffs.  Still looking, though.

 

By the way, I submitted an offer on a new listing, last weekend, priced over $1,000,000, and our offer was beaten out by another, higher offer.  Two additional $million plus properties went into escrow, as well, over last weekend.  There doesn't seem to be a shortage of well heeled buyers in the Coto area, these days.

All this, of course, is merely MY opinion. Thanks for reading.

Hiya Bob,

 

Sounds like you are very involved and doing OK, even if it is a flat market in the million dollar (plus) range homes of Coto.

 

I guess I'll wait a bit more for the GH tourist trip to "OZ". 

 

BTW, were there any single level SFR homes built in "The Village" area (?), just curious.

[ Edited ]

Ground hog asked: "BTW, were there any single level SFR homes built in "The Village" area?"

 

I don't recall any, but there might be one of two.  The lot sizes were "only" 60x100, so that doesn't allow for much of a footprint, for garage, house, and yard.  Like I said, I can't remember having ever seen one, on the market.

All this, of course, is merely MY opinion. Thanks for reading.

Flat?  Did you read the article?  29% decrease in the MEDIAN is flat?

Re: Coto experts...what will this place sell for?

cdcrezz is still clinging to a totally irrelevant article from the Register, when he asked: "Flat?  Did you read the article?  29% decrease in the MEDIAN is flat? "

 

Obviously, you missed my post, just a few posts above.  I'll repeat, for your enlightenment:

 

"I'm not sure where the Register got THEIR information, but I have two different responses.  First, they seem to be referring to a 22 day period of time, which ended on 9/14. ( 3 weeks ago.)  Second, it isn't only Coto, obviously, but all of the 92679 Trabuco Canyon zip code.

But, you go ahead, cdc, keep looking for that cliff in Coto.

Re: Coto experts...what will this place sell for?

Is Coto falling off a cliff or flat? Please get to the bottom of this right away because I've already spent way too much time thinking about Coto this morning.

The correct answer is: falling off a cliff

Look at the last 3 months of "sold" data...doesn't look good.
