Monaco Anaheim Hills (92808) Seller Guide — Prices, DOM, and What Moves the Needle

by Abidur Rahman

🏡 Why Monaco Owners Should Pay Attention Right Now

Monaco in Anaheim Hills remains one of the most sought-after condo/townhome communities in 92808, thanks to its resort-style amenities, attached 2-car garages, and prime location. Demand is steady, inventory is limited, and the right strategy can mean selling in weeks—sometimes days—at full price or more.

Whether you’re thinking of selling soon or just want to track your equity, here’s the real Monaco data you need—calculated from actual MLS-fed sale records, not estimates.

📈 Key Takeaways for Sellers

Unit Type Matters — Overall medians are misleading if dominated by 1BR sales. Always compare to your plan type.
Low Inventory = Leverage — With fewer than 2 months’ supply, Monaco sellers are still in a favorable position.
Upgrades Pay Off — Updated 2BRs have hit $720+/sf; original units trade ~$600–$630/sf.
End-Unit & View Premiums — Extra light, privacy, or a greenbelt/city-light view can add 1–3% to price.
Speed to Sell — Median DOM is ~24 days; turnkey units often go in under 10 days.

💡 What Moves Price in Monaco

End-Unit / Privacy — Only one shared wall, extra windows, and better light.
Garage Type — Side-by-side 2-car garages are rare and valued over tandem.
Interior Condition — Modern kitchens/baths, fresh paint, new flooring.
Quiet Location — Away from Serrano Ave and high-traffic amenity areas.
Outdoor Space — Private balcony or patio without close neighbor views.
