Did Kayla Sell The Bayside House In Selling The OC Season 3?

Amid their made-for-TV personal drama, the cast of Selling the OC spent much of Season 3 showcasing some of Newport Beach’s most spectacular homes. Chief among them was a $28.5 million Bayside listing, which would have been a game-changer for Oppenheim Group staffer Kayla Cardona. Spoilers ahead for Selling The OC Season 3.

In the new season, which dropped on Netflix on May 3, Cardona hosted a broker’s preview for the residence, which is in the pricey Corona Del Mar neighborhood and spans more than 9,000 square feet. It also boasts 50 feet of private beachfront and includes shared ownership of a 250-foot yacht dock.

Despite a few hiccups, including a head-to-head with Gio Helou over the listing, Cardona spent much of the season attempting to sell the house. In the finale, fans were left on a cliffhanger when she was shown removing the Oppenheim Group sign from the home’s lawn. It was never confirmed whether she’d managed to sell the property.

In November 2023, it was reported that she did indeed sell the property for roughly $25 million, making it the most expensive home to be sold in Newport Beach’s Corona Del Mar neighborhood in 2023.

Speaking of the sale recently, Cardona said that taking on the coveted listing was worth it.

“It was obviously the biggest listing I’ve had, and there were a lot of ups and downs,” she told Netflix’s Tudum. “We bent over backwards for a lot of things, but it turned out to be great. We sold it in the 11th hour. It was a quick close for $25 million, so I’m very thankful.”

Looking ahead to her future at the Oppenheim Group and beyond, Cardona also teased that she has “a lot of great things going on now.” She continued, “I’m still of course doing my real estate, and I’ve been picking up a lot of momentum. I’m now a certified life coach. I brought back my podcast. I’ve been speaking on stages. I’m just giving back to the community and it’s been very fulfilling.”
