The Covenant Hills Custom Home Sales Gallery has more positive news to report: With the recent sales of several custom homes above the $3 million mark, comps are the highest they've been in the community's five-year history. Given the significant shifts the economy has seen in recent years, this marks an exciting time for homeowners within the picturesque gate-guarded enclave. For Surterre Properties®, the real estate brokerage that exclusively represents the custom home sites available within Covenant Hills, this news comes as no surprise. "When Covenant Hills was in its infancy, the local real estate marketplace was amid unprecedented change," Surterre's CEO and president Gary Legrand pointed out. "The fact that a handful of homes within this prized neighborhood have sold for more than $3 million illustrates just how far the market has come in its recovery, and even more importantly, it shows the community's homeowners the value in the investments they made early on." One of South Orange County's most family-oriented places to call home, Covenant Hills offers a living experience that's truly unlike any other. With abundant open space and idyllic natural beauty, it promises privacy and tranquility. Yet with its convenient proximity to the freeways, beaches and entertainment options that render coastal Orange County such a sought-after destination, it also promises the quintessential Southern California experience.
