What the numbers say
- At September's pace, the 210 homes for sale would sell in about 3 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 2% under its last asking price.
- Homes are selling slower than a year ago: half sold within 44 days, against 25 days in September 2025.
- A condo or townhome sold for a median of $1,027,000, about 77% less than a house at $4,425,000.
- The median house sold for $4,425,000. Orange County's 2026 loan limit is $1,249,125, and a loan above it is a jumbo loan.
