What Sells in Irvine

Homes range from condos and townhomes to single-family homes and large estates in Shady Canyon, almost all within HOA communities and many with Mello-Roos taxes. Buyers value the parks and trails, newer construction and village amenities, and many compare HOA dues and special taxes between villages.

Getting Your Irvine Home Ready

Gather HOA and Mello-Roos details early, since buyers compare them closely. Highlight upgrades over the builder base and the specific village amenities.
