Orange County Real Estate Market Update

November 2026 housing market 

TIM SMITH REAL ESTATE GROUP

 

Orange County’s housing market offers buyers more selection as November begins, while the approaching holiday season could help sellers stand out as competing listings leave the market. Mortgage rates remain a factor in purchasing decisions, making preparation and a clear strategy valuable on both sides of the transaction.

Active inventory stands at 4,948 homes, approximately 15% more than a year ago, while buyer demand totals 1,219 pending sales. Expected Market Time is 122 days, with detached homes moving faster than condos and townhomes.

 

ADVICE FOR SELLERS

As the holidays approach, fewer new listings and seasonal withdrawals could reduce competition for your home. Buyers remain selective, so realistic pricing, thoughtful presentation, and targeted marketing are essential to making a strong impression.

 

ADVICE FOR buyers

More available homes and a slower buying pace provide time to compare properties and explore negotiating opportunities. Establish a comfortable monthly budget and keep financing ready so you can act confidently when the right home comes along. Click to Calculate Your Mortgage Budget
