Single Family Detached · 2 bed / 2.5 bath · 2,022 sq ft · 2 story · Built 1998

Notable: July’s top sale and its most-upgraded home — a two-story, fully remodeled Paros in the Village of Portofino with the primary suite conveniently on the main level, a layout buyers consistently prize. Behind an arched courtyard gate, the interior opens to vaulted ceilings and custom finishes: a chef’s kitchen with quartz counters, center island, stainless appliances, bay window, breakfast nook, and a walk-in pantry; a spa-inspired primary bath with dual vanities, oversized walk-in shower, and soaking tub; and an upstairs loft plus office and a full bedroom and bath ideal for guests or extended family. Recent upgrades include newer plumbing, a newer water heater, dual-pane windows, an epoxy-finished garage, and professionally redesigned landscaping with drip irrigation. It closed at its full $1,375,000 asking price in just 8 days. For context, a Paros sold in June at $554.99/sq ft — this remodeled one earned $680.02/sq ft, a vivid reminder that condition, not just floor plan, sets the price.

Attached Home · 2 bed / 2 bath · 1,106 sq ft · 1 story · Built 1989

Notable: The month’s fastest sale and its highest price-per-square-foot. This single-level Palma — one of OHCC’s most accessible floor plans at 1,106 sq ft — is a light-filled 2-bed, 2-bath with soaring vaulted ceilings, an inviting front courtyard, and a low-maintenance succulent garden, set on a slightly elevated lot that catches ocean breezes. Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, it drew an over-asking offer and closed in just 2 days at $859,000 — $10,000 above list and $776.67 per square foot, the top per-foot figure of the month. A clear illustration that a smaller, turnkey single-story home commands a premium per square foot and sells almost immediately when priced right.

Attached Home · 2 bed / 2 bath · 1,800 sq ft · 1 story · Built 1986

Notable: A single-story St. Tropez tucked at the end of a quiet, single-loaded cul-de-sac — no homes across the street — on a nearly 5,000 sq ft lot that gives it unusual privacy for the plan. Inside are soaring ceilings, a living-room fireplace, a comfortable kitchen open to the living and dining areas, a versatile den/office ideal for working from home, and a spacious primary suite plus a second bedroom and full bath for guests. Well presented and well located, it sold in 31 days at $1,015,000 — about 3% under its $1,049,900 asking price, without a formal price reduction.

Single Family Detached · 2 bed / 3 bath · 2,341 sq ft · 2 story · Built 1993

Notable: The largest home to sell in July and the month’s longest road to closing. This two-story Mystra offers a show-stopping open floor plan with soaring ceilings and a centerpiece fireplace, a main-level primary suite for privacy and convenience, a gracious guest room and a versatile office/TV room, an expansive upstairs loft, and owned solar. It launched in early May at $1,199,000, worked through two reductions (to $1,164,000, then $1,099,000), and closed at $1,000,000 after 53 days — $99,000 under its final list and $199,000 under its original ask. Its $427.17/sq ft was the lowest of the month; on a large two-story home that saw multiple price adjustments, treat that figure as a reflection of this specific sale rather than a benchmark for the Mystra plan.

🏡 For Sellers

Turnkey and right-priced still wins. The Palma sold in 2 days over asking and the remodeled Paros at full price in 8 — the two homes that launched at market moved almost immediately.

Condition sets your price per foot. July’s two best-presented homes posted the top $/sq ft ($776.67 Palma, $680.02 Paros). The same Paros floor plan brought just $554.99/sq ft in June in weaker condition.

Start at the market, not above it. The one home that launched high — the Mystra at $1,199,000 — needed two cuts and 53 days and still closed under its reduced list.

Smaller isn’t lesser. The community’s most compact single-level plans can command the highest price per square foot when they show well.

🔑 For Buyers

There’s room to negotiate in spots. Two of four July sales closed below final list — one by $99,000 — so a patient, well-advised buyer had leverage on the right listing.

The best remodeled homes still go fast and full. The Paros sold at full ask in 8 days. For turnkey top-end listings, come pre-approved with a clean, prepared offer.

Don’t judge a plan by one sale. The Paros ranged from $554.99 to $680.02 per square foot across June and July — condition, not just floor plan, drives value. Ask for a condition-adjusted comparison.

Single-level entry points move quickest. The Palma sold in 2 days. If a smaller single-story is your target, be ready to act.
