What the numbers say
- At September's pace, the 161 homes for sale would sell in about 2 months. That favors sellers: there are more buyers than homes. Good homes get offers fast, so buyers do best with a pre-approval in hand before they tour.
- The middle home sold for about 1% under its last asking price.
- Homes are selling faster than a year ago: half sold within 15 days, against 19 days in September 2025.
- A condo or townhome sold for a median of $775,000, about 40% less than a house at $1,300,000.
- The median house sold for $1,300,000. Orange County's 2026 loan limit is $1,249,125, and a loan above it is a jumbo loan.
