Santa Ana: Single Family Homes for less than $300k

I noticed something in today’s price reductions… you can buy yourself a single family home in Orange County for less than $300,000.   Sure, it’s in Santa Ana, but even a few years back you were not able to get your hands on anything single family for less than $450,000, not even in Santa Ana.  Most homes under $300k are in Santa Ana now, but I’m sure it’s not for long.  Just consider Santa Ana as the “trend setter” for price reductions for the County.
