Insider Intel.
Each month we explore the regional housing markets of Orange County, from city-by-city sales data to inventory, inflation, mortgage rates, and other economic factors and trends. Real estate is, by nature, local, and our markets may not be entirely reflective of national trends. We hope that this month’s report empowers you with valuable insights to make informed real estate decisions.
April 2025
Inventory in Orange County has surged to its highest level since March 2020, giving buyers more options and intensifying competition among sellers. Demand is also climbing—up 74% since the start of the year—showing that well-priced, well-presented homes continue to draw interest. With Expected Market Time reaching 62 days, the highest for March in years, sellers need to be strategic in pricing and presentation, while buyers may find themselves in a stronger negotiating position.
If mortgage rates continue to decline from the current 6.65%, demand is expected to accelerate, creating new momentum across the market.
