Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Orange County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 40 and still labeled a seller’s market. Typical home values sit around $1.22 million, noticeably above the California median of about $747,000, reflecting the county’s relatively higher price point.
Driving that seller-leaning balance, inventory is moderate at 3.4 months of supply, slightly higher than the state’s 3.3 months and up nearly 10 percent from a year ago. At the same time, homes are taking a median of 43 days to sell, which is nine percent faster than last year, suggesting buyers are acting decisively on well-priced homes.
Pricing trends show steady upward movement, with typical home values up almost 4 percent year over year and median list prices about 3 percent higher than last August. However, only about 28 percent of homes are selling above list and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, signaling that buyers still have room to negotiate on some properties. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers seeking the right opportunity and sellers aiming to maximize their sale with an expert local agent who understands these dynamics.

“I can’t say enough great things about working with Nancy and her team. Nancy recently handled the sale of my childhood home in Newport Beach. This was a Probate sale and was very emotional for me. Nancy was so supportive and kind. She was always available to answer my questions and provide me with advice. She generated multiple offers on my home immediately and we closed escrow in less than a month. I would highly recommend Nancy Andreason. I plan on using her services in the new future to sell another home in Corona del Mar. Thank you so much Nancy!”

Associated Agents Realty
“Coming from a marketing backgound. Jack Ma's a methodical and analytical approach resonnated with me from the start. You may get lucky with one sale. But in the long run, a comprehensive plan yields more consistant results. I spoke with 2 other realtors before deciding to list with Jack Ma. The other realtors were nice enough and seemed familiar with my locality, but didn't present a thorough marketing plan. Ultimatly, that's what swayed me and Jack delivered! Highly recommended!”
