Based upon general definitions, it appears that Costa Mesa Real Estate should still be in a Sellers’ Market based on the level of inventory, many still seem to believe we are in a Buyers’ market. However, I am starting to see more inventory in the last few weeks, which is moving Costa Mesa more toward a stable market rather than a buyers’ or sellers’ market.
