Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Northwood real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Home values in Northwood have been climbing, with the typical home value around $1,750,000 in February 2026, up about 5.26% from a year ago and 7.43% just since the prior month, notably higher than Irvine overall at roughly $1,587,500 and slightly down year over year. At the same time, the median list price sits a bit lower at about $1,655,000 and has edged down 0.3% month over month, suggesting some sellers are pricing carefully even as values rise. Northwood is projected to see its typical home value move toward $1,810,500 next month, while the projected median list price is expected to hover near $1,652,500.
Listing and contract activity reflect this pricing backdrop. Inventory in February stood at just 23 homes, down roughly 11.54% from the prior month and over 53% compared with last year. New listings have also pulled back by about 48.28% year over year, and pending sales are down around 19.44% from a year ago.
Conditions still favor sellers, with Northwood rated a strong seller's market at 8 out of 10 on the local gauge. Homes spend a median of 36 days on the market, which is slightly faster than last month but a bit slower than a year ago. About 34.62% of recent sales closed above the list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is near 0.99, showing buyers are paying close to asking. In this kind of environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with an experienced local agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Northwood offers residents a welcoming, family‑friendly community with top‑rated schools, abundant parks, convenient amenities, and a strong sense of safety and belonging.
Northwood in Irvine tends to be a great fit for buyers who value quiet, established neighborhoods with strong schools and convenient commutes. Families are drawn to the highly rated campuses in the Irvine Unified School District, including Northwood High School, while professionals appreciate access to nearby Spectrum-area employment centers and transit routes.
Housing here spans original single-family homes with larger lots, gated communities with shared amenities, and townhomes and condos that appeal to first-time buyers and downsizers. Many streets are within walking distance of parks like Northwood Community Park and Peppertree Park, which support an active lifestyle with playgrounds, sports fields, and open green space.
Everyday errands are straightforward, with shopping and dining along Irvine Boulevard and convenient access to destinations like nearby Woodbury and West Irvine. Residents also tap into broader city amenities such as the Irvine Public Library system and regional recreation options around Jeffrey Open Space Trail.
Because Northwood’s feel can change from one tract to the next, from HOA rules to school boundaries and even where afternoon traffic backs up, it pays to work with an agent who understands the neighborhood at a block-by-block level. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with professionals who know Northwood’s nuances and can align your housing decisions with your specific goals.

“Jennifer Falconer has a fantastic reputation and did a wonderful job selling my home. I could not ask for anything to have gone better. I was apprehensive about the process, but Jennifer was very reassuring and made the process great.”
“Amy, thank you so much for all of your help in securing us another home. It's such a pleasure to work with you. Your knowledge, support, guidance and follow-through certainly made this challenging process so much smoother and manageable. And most of all we had some fun along the way too! Appreciate everything you and Brittany did for us. You're the best!”
“Nancy Andreason was engaged for the sale of a residential condo in need of significant interior repair and updating. She had excellent knowledge of the area, an impressive & lengthy history of sales, an excellent list of contacts to ready the property, and experience with probate sales. She was on top of everything from start to finish. We were kept fully informed throughout the process. She explained things in appropriate detail. Once decided that our situation would best be facilitated by an “as is” sale, there was very little we had to do. She was familiar with many of those that take interest in “as is” properties. We entered escrow about a week after listing. We were informed of every offer and appreciated her assessment in making our final choice. Escrow was fast and easy. I recommend Nancy and would use her again.”

Their negotiation skills even secured a lease‑back that allowed me to stay in the home while my new purchase finalized. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend them more highly”
