More Cheap(er) Anaheim Real Estate
I can’t help thinking that Anaheim is a hot destination these days. For one thing, its baseball team, the Angels, has the best record in baseball. In fact, on Monday they beat the world-champion Boston Red Sox for the sixth time this year in seven attempts.
For another, Anaheim’s boundaries are the most inland of all of the O.C., and the recovery is moving east to west, like a Santa Ana wind. That means there could be bargains to be had here.
I’m hoping we can find out what went on last weekend at “The Event” at Stadium Lofts. Did they sell those drastically discounted units? I wonder if they’ll ever tell us. If it went well, probably. But if it didn’t, they’ll probably decide not to comment.
But a look at Anaheim homes for sale shows there are some deeply discounted homes out there. Will they come down any more? Hard to say, but other homes in the area are going for more.
