What the numbers say
- At September's pace, the 70 homes for sale would sell in about 3.2 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 its full asking price or more.
- Homes are selling slower than a year ago: half sold within 32 days, against 28 days in September 2025.
- A condo or townhome sold for a median of $755,000, about 39% less than a house at $1,238,000.
- The median house sold for $1,238,000, under Orange County's 2026 loan limit of $1,249,125. A loan up to that limit is a standard (conforming) loan.
