NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Villa Real Estate’s Nancy Barfield, one of coastal Orange County’s leading residential real estate professionals, today announced that she has completed 14 transactions in 2013 to date, including 11 sales transactions and three lease transactions.

“2013 is off to a brisk start,” says Barfield. “In the first five weeks of my tenure at Villa Real Estate, I completed a transaction per week – that’s an impressive pace coming out of the prior market conditions.”

Among Barfield’s transaction highlights for the first half of 2013 are:

388 Granada, Eastside Costa Mesa: Listed for $1,650,000 and sold for $1,700,000 in four days

3124 Broad Street, Newport Beach: Listed for $1,899,000 and sold in four days

2605 Westminster, Eastside Costa Mesa - Represented the buyer in a multiple-bid scenario securing the property within four days of its offering

Powered by Villa Real Estate’s best-in-industry marketing campaigns and leveraging more than 25 years of expertise in the market, Barfield continues to set an impressive pace for sales in Orange County, with a particular focus on the Newport Beach and Eastside Costa Mesa areas. In fact, Barfield has just listed five new properties and is closing three additional leases this month.

In addition to being a market leader in Newport Beach and Eastside Costa Mesa, Barfield also represents buyers and sellers throughout Orange County and has completed recent transactions in Anaheim, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Riverside, San Clemente, and South Coast Metro.

Going into the second half of 2013, Barfield anticipates a correction in pricing and fewer instances of multiple offers and over-asking-price transactions. That said, she notes that there are still a lot of buyers on the sidelines, waiting to step into the market to purchase the perfect home.
