🏡 A slower market doesn’t automatically mean a distressed market.

According to the latest Orange County Housing Report, 99.72% of all August closed sales were sellers with equity. Foreclosures accounted for just 0.17% of closed sales, while short sales represented only 0.11%.

And out of thousands of active listings across Orange County, there are currently only 12 distressed properties available—4 foreclosures and 8 short sales. Combined, distressed properties represent just 0.2% of active listings.

So while buyers may have more negotiating leverage in today’s slower market, the data does not show widespread distressed selling.

Understanding that distinction matters when deciding how to approach a purchase or sale.

📍 Orange County and Mission Viejo aren’t moving at the same speed.

The latest Housing Report shows Orange County at a 101-day Expected Market Time, while Mission Viejo is considerably faster at just 77 days, with 161 active listings and 63 pending sales.

In fact, the report classifies Mission Viejo’s current 77-day market as a Slight Seller’s Market, while Orange County overall falls into its Balanced Market range.

The takeaway? Real estate is local.

Whether you’re buying or selling, your strategy should be based on your neighborhood, property type, price range, and competition—not just a countywide headline.

Wondering how your home’s value is determined? “Comps” help tell the story by comparing your property to similar homes that recently sold nearby.

📈 Mortgage rates have changed—and so has the buyer’s playbook.

The latest Orange County Housing Report puts mortgage rates at 7.17%, up from around 6% in February. Meanwhile, buyer demand has declined to 1,468 pending sales—8% below last year.

Higher rates can affect affordability, but softer demand may also create negotiating opportunities for buyers who are prepared to make a move.

The key? Don’t evaluate a home by price alone. Consider your financing, monthly payment, Days on Market, price history, and comparable sales before deciding how to structure your offer.

📩 Thinking about buying in Orange County? Let’s build a strategy around both the property and the numbers.

The market is shifting, and staying informed can help you make your next move with confidence. Whether you’re thinking of buying or selling, let’s talk about what these August numbers could mean for you!

09/23/2026

🏡 Orange County homes are taking longer to sell—but that doesn’t mean prices are plunging.

The latest Housing Report shows the Expected Market Time has increased from 67 days during the spring to 101 days today, making this the slowest September market since 2011. Last year, it was 90 days.

Higher mortgage rates, softer buyer demand, and elevated inventory are giving buyers more negotiating power. But the report emphasizes an important distinction:

Prices remain “sticky.”

Why? Orange County doesn’t have the combination of an overwhelming supply of homes and large numbers of sellers who must sell that would typically create rapidly falling values. The report notes inventory peaked at 5,054 homes, compared with 7,601 in 2019 during the housing recovery.

So yes, buyers have more opportunities to negotiate—but don’t mistake a slower market for collapsing prices.

📩 Buying or selling in Orange County? Let’s look beyond the headlines and see what the numbers mean for your specific neighborhood and goals.
