Price Reduced! Secure day-one rental income in Irvine at just $669,000, more than $50,000 below today’s market value. The most recent comparable sale in the community closed last year at $700,000. With a conservative appreciation of 1.73% over the last 12 months, that value is about $712,000 today.
