What’s Happening in the Orange County Real Estate Market?

[Ken and Ari Walker]

Orange County’s homebuying rebound continued in September with sales hitting a pace not seen since 2005. A study done by DQNews (a service that provides home sales and mortgage statistics for the U.S.) shows a market fueled by historically low interest rates, coronavirus-led urges for more space, and a limited inventory for house hunters to choose.

Some of the single-family-home data released for September 2020 is as follows:

• Median Sales Price:  $875,000 (up 10.8% over 2019)
• Homes Sold:  2,417 (up 30.6% over 2019)

Zillow reported for the week ending October 17 in Los Angeles and Orange Counties:

• Newly pending sales:  Up 4.2% vs. in 2019
• 12 days, escrow from listing vs. 24 days in 2019
• Inventory:  down 24% over 2019
• Median list price: up 13% over 2019

Market snapshots of median list prices for individual communities:

• Costa Mesa: $943,000
• Huntington Beach:  $819,000
• Irvine:  $749,000
• Laguna Beach:  $1,297,000
• Newport Beach:  $2,230,000
