“We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor than Holly! We were competing against another offer that was $65,000 higher than ours, but somehow Holly’s experience, strategy, and negotiation skills got our offer accepted! And she didn’t stop there. After inspections, she negotiated an additional $22,000 in credits for repairs. Holly truly went above and beyond to protect our interests and make sure we got the best possible deal. Her contacts for contractors are saving us so much money on the renovations we plan to do right away also! Her knowledge, professionalism, and ability to navigate a competitive situation made all the difference. We are so grateful to have had her on our side and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Portola Hills home values in this rolling three-month view are up strongly from a year ago, with the typical home value rising nearly 28 percent. At the same time, median list prices are down about 9 percent year over year, suggesting sellers may be pricing more cautiously than recent sales would indicate. Inventory has grown modestly, with active listings up just over 10 percent compared with last year.
Current conditions point to a market that is more balanced than in prior years but still leans toward sellers. Months of supply has climbed to 3.6, more than doubling from a year ago, yet the area is still classified as a seller’s market based on overall dynamics. Buyers are taking longer to commit, with typical days on market now around 74 days, down from last year but much higher than mid‑2026 levels.
Even with more choices and longer listing times, demand remains solid, as about 38 percent of recent sales closed above the asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent. New listings have increased more than 26 percent year over year, and pending sales are holding roughly steady, indicating ongoing buyer interest as more homes come to market. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local real estate agent who understands the latest numbers and neighborhood trends.

“Amy is a great agent that provides personal experience and approaches each sale with dedication and care. She was able to help me navigate complicated transaction that involved difficult market conditions and dreadful uncooperative HOA. Amy get things done, my apartment was sold in a matter of couple of months, while other apartments in that building have been “active/for sale” for almost a year now. You can see her experience in negotiations, market conditions and sales techniques, get your property sold with a peace of mind. I really enjoyed working with her, as she stayed on top of all details and communicated every new update to me regularly. Thank you so much Amy for your help!”
“I highly recommend Min Hui Yeh. It’s great experience working with her on the sale of my house. She was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and resourceful. She kept me informed throughout the selling process. She truly went above and beyond to help me sell my house.”
“Selling a home can be an incredibly stressful process, but Chris Kwon and his team made the entire experience feel seamless, manageable, and I felt well cared for from beginning to end. From the start, Chris demonstrated an impressive understanding of the Great Park micro-market, providing strategic, data-driven recommendations on pricing and positioning my home to maximize its value. His guidance on preparing, presenting, and staging my home was thoughtful and tailored to what would resonate with buyers and help drive top dollar. What truly set Chris and his team apart was their white-glove, personalized service. From coordinating schedules and managing logistics to connecting me with trusted vendors and offering helpful recommendations, they anticipated needs I hadn’t even considered. They actively marketed my property and handled the countless details that can make a real estate transaction feel overwhelming, making the entire process easier. Just as importantly, Chris was a steady, reassuring presence throughout the journey. Selling a home comes with plenty of uncertainty and second-guessing, but he consistently helped alleviate my doubts and stress, answered my questions, and guided me through decisions with confidence. I always felt I had a knowledgeable, proactive advocate in my corner. If you’re buying or selling in Great Park, I can’t recommend Chris Kwon and his team highly enough. Their local market expertise, strategic guidance, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to their clients make them stand out. They don’t just sell homes; they deliver an exceptional client experience, taking care of the details while keeping your best interests and the best possible outcome at the center of everything they do.”
“Jose was very helpful and understanding of my needs when looking for a house, I am new to the area and he was able to give me plenty of insight on areas to look for. It felt like he did all of the work, so I didn’t have to. I would def recommend Jose as a realtor even if you’re not looking to buy immediately, he’s pretty easy going and stays at your pace when buying/selling a houses!”
“There is no other Real Estate agent I would chose over Doug! He was excellent in listening to my Wife and I's need! We highly recommend him and will be using him when we look to sell and purchase our next home in the future.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Mike Betts. He helped me out during a very rough time, when the remainder of my family passed away in the same year, and I had to travel out-of-state to close the family estate. He went way above and beyond in helping me with labor, packing containers, babysitting other laborers, running errands and even bringing me my favorite pizza! His upbeat and always positive attitude was a welcome relief from all that I had to deal with. He was always available for a call, and willing to come over whenever I needed his assistance. I really don’t know how I could have handled everything without his tremendous help. He made selling the house as painless as possible, and helped me through all the extensive paperwork. I felt I could really trust him.”
“Janna represented us on the sale of my dad's house in San Juan Capistrano. For me, choosing a realtor is all about trust and belief and Janna made us believe in her right from the jump. She is personable, has great communication skills and really knows the south Orange County real estate market. Janna was truly wonderful to work with from start to finish. The best compliment I can pay Janna is that she turned what can often be a chaotic, confusing and challenging undertaking into a simple and easy process for us. I would highly recommend Janna if you want a realtor who is a great communicator that will work tirelessly to get the best outcome for you!”
“We recently bought a home with Kevin Kim and are so grateful to have had him by our side. He was caring, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process, taking the time to understand what mattered to us and helping us feel confident in our decisions. What we appreciated most was the personal care he brought to the experience. Buying a home is a major decision, and it meant so much that he truly cared about finding the right home for our family. We’re so happy with our new home and would wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to buy. Thank you, Kevin, for helping us through such an important milestone!”
“My realtor was absolutely amazing throughout my first home buying experience! She went above and beyond every step of the way to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible. She was always willing to help in any way she could, answered my questions, and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire journey. Her dedication, patience, and commitment truly made a difference in making my dream of becoming a homeowner possible. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor, and I’m so grateful to have had her by my side during such an important milestone in my life. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”
“When our family was moving to California from out of state - Cyrus and The Keystone Team came highly recommended and they did not disappoint! Cyrus, Nick, and Zac helped us understand the California market and get to know different areas we were considering. They made us feel like a top priority. They were readily available for showings, questions, or anything else that came up during our home search. Cyrus was a strong negotiator who always kept our best interest in mind. We would highly recommend The Keystone Team!”
“Sharon was an amazing realtor! She helped us navigate the housing market and all of the different listings to help find our home. She is persistent, knowledgeable, & adaptable. Whatever home you are looking to buy, Sharon can make it happen! 10/10!”
“Recently we were faced with the challenge of selling a house in Huntington Beach CA, while living in Flagstaff Arizona. As our our agent, Mike was our eyes and ears in the Huntingon Beach area, doing a walktrhough after tennats left, helping us get it market ready and showcasing the house in all the right media outlets to genreate interest. In fact, Mike actually sold the house twice (due to it falling out of escrow the 1st time), Through it all he had a positive, solution oritented attitude that impressed us. Also, he was agreat at saying what he was going to do and when he was going to do it, and sticking to it. We highly recommend using Mike Doyle!”
“Trabajar con María Pimentel fue la mejor decisión que pudimos tomar en el proceso de comprar nuestra primera casa. Desde el primer día, María demostró un conocimiento excepcional del mercado, una paciencia infinita y una dedicación absoluta hacia nosotros. Al ser primerizos, teníamos muchísimas dudas, miedos y preguntas sobre cada paso del proceso. María siempre se tomó el tiempo de explicarnos todo con claridad, responder a cualquier hora y guiarnos con honestidad para asegurarnos de tomar la mejor decisión para nuestro futuro. Su profesionalismo, carisma y excelente capacidad de negociación marcaron toda la diferencia. ¡Recomendamos a María Pimentel al 100% a cualquier persona que esté buscando comprar o vender una propiedad! Gracias, María, por ayudarnos a hacer nuestro sueño realidad.”
“From the moment I was connected with Lionel, I knew buying my first home would be a great experience. He handled everything professionally and always with a positive attitude. He helped to greatly limit the stress that comes with buying a new home. Always quick to respond and dedicated to solving any problems or concerns that came up. I highly recommend Franklin Real Estate Group to help you buy or sell your home.”
“We honestly don’t know how we would have gotten through this escrow without Ryan. What started as an exciting move quickly became a very stressful and complicated process, with so many unexpected challenges along the way. Through all of it, Ryan was there for us—not just as our agent, but as someone who genuinely cared about helping us get through it. He represented us through both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home, and he was incredibly patient, responsive, and reassuring every step of the way. Whenever we felt overwhelmed or anxious, Ryan helped us take a step back, stay calm, and focus on what needed to happen next. We’re so grateful for everything he did for our family. Buying and selling a home at the same time was not easy, but having Ryan in our corner made such a difference. We truly couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“Oleg helped my husband and me purchase a fantastic condo. I didn't know anything about the real estate transaction process, but Oleg guided us every step of the way—it was invaluable. I also have to highlight his professionalism and his willingness to answer my calls and messages, even in the evening. I had expected buying a property to be a stressful experience, but with Oleg’s help, everything went smoothly and quickly. I highly recommend him!”
“Amber was absolutely fantastic to work with! The entire process from start to finish was seamless. Her knowledge of the industry coupled with her thorough and personable approach make her one of a kind. Highly recommended and I can’t say enough positive things about her!”
“Briant took the time to understand our needs and preferences, making us feel like more than just prospective buyers. Even if he was on vacation, he responded promptly so that we could buy the house on time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“I couldn’t have had a better real estate agent. Teryn was so good to me and was always right there when I needed her. She never missed my calls and helped me with so many things along the way. Moving was very stressful for me, and she took so much of that stress away. I’m very thankful for everything she did for me.”
