The vast majority of the time, a winning score in a 3-player game will not be below 250, and will frequently be as high as 270-280.
This is assuming skilled players. Yes, there is variation based on the order of construction and on the available special buildings. A victory with a score below 250 is probably as rare as a victory with a score above 300.
I've played a lot of 3-player Le Havre with people who know what they're doing. I feel confident in these numbers.

Do you have a "group" score for those games? My thinking is that the group score (all players added together) is something like 500 for two players and 600 for three to four players, but your experience seems to argue that 700 is actually the group target for a three player game. I can see a winning score of 270, but where does that leave the other two players?
ave you seen it end 270-260-250? That would put group score close to 800. I haven't played a lot of three-player games with super-experienced players, but I find that hard to believe.
Conventional wisdom among the local LH players is that an average group score for a 3 player game is 725-750, so seeing something along the lines of 270-250-230 is normal. In the rare event that one player manages 300 (the highest I've seen in 3P is 321, but there wasn't a consistent level of experience at the table), that usually means the other two scores are much closer to 200.
