But, if they have given up on the home, is another story.I plan to stop by the house again soon and leave a note and try to find contact info to talk with them to get their story.From what I have gathered, the original owner passed away and one of their children obtained the estate of the home a while ago but, may be living in Orange County.

I know I  shouldn’t compare apples to oranges but looking for any tips on how I can get a feel on what it’s worth.  

Quote from @Daniel Baker:  You are mixing apples and oranges. 

I did some research and found a local Real Estate networking group here in Orange County.

And this becomes an apples and oranges comparison.

@Moshe MarcianoI recently helped an investor from Orange County purchase a single family home here in San Diego.

Just last year I expanded my property portfolio in California which now includes Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and Kern counties.

My husband wants to sell the Orange County property.

There aren't many co-ops in Southern California, mostly in LA or a senior community in Orange County, but there's not much of a discount between condos and co-ops - at most, 10%.What is your source of the 10% difference data?  

I am an investor and real estate agent in Gulf Shores / Orange Beach and would be glad to help in anyway that I can.
