San Clemente Detached Homes under $1.5 Million
Posted by Sam Smith on Tuesday, January 17th, 2023 at 11:19am.
In the last several years we have seen a big increase real estate prices in San Clemente, California. It's very hard to find any decent detached single family home in a nice area for under $1 million dollars. Last year we saw a shifting market where properties were on the market a lot longer than what we had experienced in recent years so there was the anticipation that real estate prices may go down. This was the case in some of the properties sold last year but the overall pricing of homes still remains high and has not seen a huge dip as some were expecting. There are still some great values for homes if you know where to look, especially in trying to find a detached single family home for under $1.5 million.
One of the better values that we have seen for detached homes is in the Villa Pacifica community in San Clemente. There is currently a 4 bedroom home with an approximate 2,589 square feet of living space on the market for sale at $1,349,000. This is approximately $521.05 per square foot which is a tremendous value for a two story home that was newly built in 2001. It's technically located in the Rancho San Clemente area but really feels more like the Talega area with beautiful Spanish and Mediterranean style homes. This is not a large neighborhood so don't expect a lot of amenities but because of this monthly association dues are kept low.
Another affordable community is the Ashton community in the Forster Ranch area of San Clemente. When I first moved to San Clemente this was always some of the lowest priced detached homes in San Clemente. Currently there is a 3 bedroom home on the market for $1,225,000 which features an approximate 1,941 square feet. What I love about this homes is they have great curb appeal and often built in the Cape Cod architectural style. The homes can have vaulted ceilings and nice patio size backyards and is a perfect place to buy a starter or investment property.
The Talega area is also an excellent choice for those who prefer homes that were built in the last 20 years with lots of community amenities. These are over 40 master planned neighborhoods that all offer tract style homes with a variety of price points and floor plans. Some of the more affordable homes under $1.5 million can be found in neighborhoods like San Lucar which currently has a four bedroom home on the market for $1,469,000. The homes offers an approximate 2,448 square feet and looks and feels like a newer home. It's important to note that many homes in the Talega area due have a Mello Roos tax so keep that in mind when looking in this area.
