August 2025
Orange County’s housing market is stabilizing as inventory approaches its typical summer peak. With 5,017 homes available—up 54% from last year—growth has slowed, signaling that the peak is near. Expected Market Time is 93 days, longer than last year, reflecting a more balanced pace of sales. Mortgage rates at 6.53%, the lowest of the year, are providing buyers an opportunity to act, while demand remains slightly higher than last year. Luxury sales are strong, up 9% through July, giving sellers in the top tier continued momentum. Overall, buyers benefit from more choice and improved rates, while sellers face longer market times in the mid-tier, though luxury properties continue to move steadily.
