Irvine Market Update - October 🏡

Irvine Market Update - October🏡

PRICE SMART! SELL FAST!
This fall, success in Orange County real estate comes down to one thing — pricing right from day one. Homes priced correctly are flying off the market in just 16 days and selling within 2% of asking price, while overpriced listings are sitting for months and losing tens of thousands.


ATTENTION BUYERS: THE CLOCK IS TICKING!
Rates have dipped to around 6%, giving buyers a rare break in affordability — but inventory is slipping fast, down 2% in two weeks to the lowest level since Spring. If you’re waiting for the “perfect time,” this is it. Lock in your rate and snag a home before competition heats up again!

ATTENTION SELLERS: NAIL THE PRICE, WIN THE MARKET.

Nearly half of sellers have already had to cut their price. Don’t make the same mistake. The first 10 days on the market are everything — that’s when buyers pounce on well-priced homes. Price strategically, and you’ll attract stronger offers, faster closings, and higher net proceeds.
