Your Trusted Resource for Orange County Housing
The Orange County housing market has officially shifted into the Summer Market, and the pace is starting to change. Inventory is rising, buyer demand is easing, and homes are taking longer to sell — creating more competition for sellers and more options for buyers.
Active inventory is now at 4,681 homes, up 3% over the past couple of weeks, while buyer demand has dipped slightly to 1,606 pending sales. Expected Market Time has increased to 87 days, signaling a more balanced market where pricing, preparation, and strategy matter more than ever.
Competition is increasing as more homes come online, and buyers are becoming more selective. Sellers who price strategically, prepare their homes well, and launch with strong marketing are still seeing success — while overpriced homes are losing momentum quickly.
Buyers have more options today than they did earlier this year, creating opportunity across many price points. However, well-priced homes are still moving, so preparation is key. In slower-moving segments, buyers may have more time, more selection, and potentially more room to negotiate. Click to Calculate Your Mortgage Budget
