The Disappearing Kitchen: Why Today's Best Appliances Are the Ones You Can't See

Walk into a high-end home today like my upcoming listing on Evergreen Place in Costa Mesa, and you might notice something is missing — the appliances. No stainless steel refrigerator dominating the wall. No dishwasher door breaking up the cabinetry. Just clean lines, seamless surfaces, and a kitchen that looks more like a piece of furniture than a workspace, and I love it!

I’m seeing a rise of the integrated appliance and I think it’s here to stay.

Refrigerators now hide behind custom cabinet panels, dishwashers tuck beneath counters with no visible controls, and induction cooktops sit flush with stone surfaces — sometimes revealing nothing but a subtle knob. …

2025 Costa Mesa's Freedom Homes in Canyon Park Home Sales & My Outlook for 2026 

Market value for a standard three bedroom, one bathroom "Freedom Home" with few to no upgrades jumped above $1,200,000 during 2025.  I was honored to sell 2024 Continental for its 99 year old original owner!  Preferring an off-market transaction, but not leaving money on the table, the seller's family asked if I could present them with a fair market value offer without the hassle of full preparation and open houses.  I had a list of 5 buyers to call, and the first group pounced on the opportunity.  Selling at $1.25m, with a small reduction to $1,225,000 due to discovered issues during inspections, this closed sale let me know where the entry level currently was in the…

2019 State Streets Home Sales & My Outlook for 2020

 

I am proud to have sold three State Street homes in 2019:  3202 Iowa, 3209 Michigan, and 3216 New York.  These sales represent the highest 3 prices per sq. foot for the year, and 3 of the 4 highest ever in the State Streets.   Looking back, I appreciate my clients' trust in my pre-marketing preparations, home pricing, and negotiation strategies for each sale.  Each home received multiple offers with 10 total offers received over the three homes.   I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you to show you how I can help you achieve the same with your home sale.  The top sale in the neighborhood according to sales price in 2019 goes to the expanded 1722 Missouri St. at $1,049,900. …

2019 Canyon Park Home Sales & My Outlook for 2020 

Market value for a standard three bedroom, one bathroom "Freedom Home" with few to no upgrades jumped above $800,000 during 2019.  910 Dogwood was in need of upgrading throughout and sold for a mouth-watering $804,500. Dogwood has become one of the nicest streets in the neighborhood, which certainly played a role in this sale.  With interest rates hovering around 4% and inventory incredibly low, I predict this base price will continue to hold strong in 2020.  There’s an abundance of first time buyers and move-up condo buyers who love our little secret by the bluffs, and when they compare prices to east side Costa Mesa, or even red-hot College Park, Canyon Park looks like a steal.

I predict…
