SEPTEMBER 2026 l IRVINE REAL ESTATE + COMMUNITY UPDATE
|
|
|
ORANGE COUNTY MARKET UPDATE - The Irvine market is leaning toward buyers, with demand falling faster and homes moving more slowly. Like any good game plan, understanding the latest market data can help buyers and sellers make smarter moves and avoid costly mistakes.
ATTENTION BUYERS - Now is the time to have a strategy. Irvineās inventory has tightened, with active listings falling 6% in less than two weeks from 810 to 762 homes as fewer properties come to market. For buyers, this means acting strategically now can help you take advantage of available choices and negotiate favorable terms before competition increases.
ATTENTION SELLERS - Strategy matters more than ever. Buyer demand has softened, with pending sales falling 4%, while mortgage rates have climbed to around 7.17%. In a slower-demand market, proper pricing, strong presentation, and strategic timing can make the difference between attracting serious buyers and sitting on the market, making it important to have a clear plan before listing.
Included below is your Irvine Real Estate Market snapshot. I am your local resource for all your real estate needs. Referrals are always appreciated.
