Orange County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Orange County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Orange County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 21 indicating a clear seller’s market. With only 2.4 months of supply and homes taking a typical 36 days to sell, buyers are facing relatively tight conditions.
Prices are notably higher than the California average, as the typical home value of $1,260,000 far exceeds the state’s $855,300. Even more, values are up an estimated 5% year over year and month over month, while median list prices hold steady at $1,299,000, signaling firm seller pricing power.
On the activity side, inventory sits at 4,546 homes, only slightly higher than last month, while still down about 24.55% from a year ago, and new listings have fallen roughly 10.81%. Roughly 36.6% of homes sell above list, about 23.6% experience a price drop, and the sale-to-list ratio is just under full price at 0.997, showing buyers are negotiating but not deeply. With 2,567 new listings and 2,197 pending sales in the latest period, demand is keeping pace with supply. Whether buyers want strategies for competing in this environment or sellers hope to capitalize on strong pricing, Agent Pronto can connect both with an experienced local agent who knows Orange County’s market dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Rebecca helped my sister and I sell my mother's mobile home. She was always there to answer our questions and to give us a good perspective on the sale. It was a difficult time for mobile home sales but when we did get an offer, it was more than we expected. Rebecca's advice to hold off on lowering the price really paid off for us in the end. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell real estate.”
“As out-of-state owners, we relied on Nancy Andreason for every step of preparing, listing, and selling our Huntington Beach home. Her advice was excellent—she knew exactly what to fix, what to leave alone, and she managed contractors and follow-up right up to the final days, even personally handling unexpected issues. She priced the home perfectly, resulting in a final sale price of more than $100,000 above asking. She also knew which offers were serious, which to pass on, and even guided a brief bidding war. We accepted the final offer just five days after listing. After a few days of back-and-forth over contingencies, Nancy successfully negotiated their removal. She then guided us through a quick escrow, including navigating the home’s ownership trust and coordinating all of the remote document signing. What could have been a stressful process became a genuinely pleasant experience. We feel very fortunate to have had Nancy as our agent and highly recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Rienne is AWESOME. She was always available to communicate with as well as to show our house. We were pleasantly surprised at all of the personal touches she added. Her commitment to her job shows! It was a journey to go through in which Rienee handled it all with class and style. Thank you again for everything.”
“Working with Albert Sanchez was a pleasure. As first-time home sellers, we were nervous, but he guided us through every step with patience and expertise. His team was always responsive and in our corner, making the process a stress-free experience, ensuring we got the best possible outcome for our property.”
“Danny Navarro was recommended by a family friend and he showed that he is very knowledgeable about his craft. His personality was very welcoming from the start. He delivered on all aspects of selling our home. He has a team of helpers that brings the same characteristics that he has. Our home sold very fast and Danny helped us through this fast pace transition. I would recommend Danny to anyone needing a positive person to represent them.”
“Corey has helped my wife and I with three transactions now, and every time he shows up for us. Being from Hawaii, trust and relationships matter a lot to us and Corey treats us like ohana. He understands the San Diego market, gives honest advice, and always looks out for our long-term goals, not just the deal. He communicates clearly, negotiates hard when needed, and makes the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. We’re grateful to have someone we trust on our side and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling in San Diego. Mahalo, Jason and Ashley....”
“Karen was absolutely outstanding throughout my home-buying journey. She was relentless in making sure everything stayed on track, consistently keeping my lenders on schedule and pushing the process forward without delays. Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. She truly delivered excellent service from start to finish, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a committed and results-driven realtor.”
“Thanks to Steven we sold my property. He was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Would definitely use his services again.”
“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!”
“Very satisfied with Casey's performance in every way.”
“Selling my Holly Grove Street home with Amy Oganyan and her assistant Anthony Arabian was an outstanding experience. They were incredibly responsive, patient, and knowledgeable, guiding me through a tricky and uncertain market with confidence and clarity. Amy and Anthony arranged four open houses, coordinated 20 viewings, and stayed proactive throughout the five‑month process. 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”
“I was recommended by Erika with high praise so my expectations were already high, but she truly exceeded them. I was blown away by her knowledge, experience, and attention to detail. As a first time buyer, this process was incredibly important to me, and she took the time to help me better udnerstand what to look for and what really mattered. I always felt that she genuinely had my best interest. Her professionalism and patience made all the difference, and that's exactly why I will continue working with her in the future and confidently recommend her to my friends and family. Both she and Carlos did an outstanding job explaining everything clearly and offering thoughtful recommendations throughout the process. I truly appreciate both and look forward to working with them again.”
“Heather was great to work with. O n top of everything and communicated well. Would definitely hire her again.”
“keep up the exelent work”
“This was our second time using Jon as our Realtor. First time was as a Buyer and we were so impressed, we used him this time as a Seller. His knowledge of the market and guidance throughout the whole process is second to none. We always felt like we were a priority and communication was top tier. Even in a declining market, he sold our house the first weekend. We won't hesitate to use him again. Thank you so much Jon!”
“Lauren is very patient with me, very professional and I totally trust her.”
“My husband and I are grateful to have Monica on our side throughout our first home-buying experience. We thought the possibility of owning a home was out of reach and overwhelming, but Monica turned this intimidating process into a smooth and understandable one. Not only was her communication very clear and thorough, she made sure to follow up with all parties often to ensure we closed as soon as possible. Monica was able to get us through some challenges along the way and always kept us informed. She provided options with solutions without skipping a beat - this is how I knew we had the right realtor on our side. We truly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.”
“Andrew did a great job helping us manage the purchase of our house and dealing with the problems with the other agent and her client. Here was always available for all the questions and concerns that we had during the whole process of closing on the property. Thanks Armando”
