A Crystal Cove estate is coming to market at $125 million, and it is a home Orange County already knows well. When the property at [15 Del Mar in Newport Coast](https://gomezaligngroup.com/home-search/listings/3231289395597318831-15-Del-Mar) last sold in 2020, it set the county record for a home sale.

## Why the price matters

The current county record is a $110 million sale in Emerald Bay, so a closing near the asking price would set a new one.

An asking price is only a starting point. Estates at this level can take a long time to sell, and the final number may look different. Even so, the listing shows how much confidence sellers have in the top of the coastal market.

## Why Crystal Cove

Crystal Cove has roughly 700 homes and almost no land left to build on. Buyers come for the gated privacy, the newer custom homes, the larger lots and the ocean views. Limited supply and worldwide demand keep pushing its best homes into record territory.

## What homeowners should take from it

You do not need a nine-figure estate to feel the effect. Headline listings draw national attention to Newport Coast, and they shape how buyers think about value in nearby communities like Pelican Hill, Corona del Mar and Newport Beach.
