Older ranch-styles to 2000s contemporary homes
Single-family homes are the norm in Mayfield. The oldest homes date to the late 1970s, and many are ranch-style homes with two-car garages, usually 1,200 square feet to 1,500 square feet. These continued to be the most common architecture for over a decade. They are priced from $350,000 to $450,000.
The 2000s brought two-story, tract-style contemporary and Spanish-style homes, typically 2,000 square feet to 2,500 square feet, though some exceed 4,000 square feet. Prices range from $400,000 to $750,000.
"There isn't much inventory, so houses go fast," Fox says. One concern of buyers considering a newer home is the added cost of Mello-Roos, the local infrastructure bonds tied to properties. Fox explains that typically $150 to $200 a month needs to be added to one's budget. "They say they are 30 years generally — but local municipalities can re-up those bonds."
There are many large homes available in the Mayfield area of Ceres.
