Orange County Real Estate Market Update

Your Trusted Resource for Orange County Housing

September 2026 housing market 

TIM SMITH REAL ESTATE GROUP

 

Orange County has officially entered the Fall Market, bringing a more measured pace as both inventory and buyer demand begin their seasonal decline. With fewer new listings expected through the remainder of the year, the market is shifting from the buildup of spring and summer into a more stable fall environment.

Active inventory has eased to 4,982 homes, while buyer demand sits at 1,528 pending sales. Expected Market Time is now 98 days, with detached homes moving faster at 90 days compared with 109 days for condos and townhomes.

 

ADVICE FOR SELLERS

Buyers have more choices and are increasingly selective, making accurate pricing, strong presentation, and strategic marketing essential. Homes positioned correctly from the start can still attract serious interest, while overpriced properties risk losing momentum in a slower fall market.

 

ADVICE FOR buyers

Today’s market offers buyers more selection, a little more negotiating room, and time to evaluate the right opportunities. Well-priced homes in desirable areas can still move quickly, so being prepared to act when the right property becomes available remains important—especially if mortgage rates improve and competition increases. requirements. Click to Calculate Your Mortgage Budget
