Orange County Real Estate Market Trends and Statistics 2026
A Cooler Market
Things are noticeably milder than they were a couple of years ago. In January 2026, the median listing price in the county was $1,326,500, 2.3% lower than in January 2025. On average, properties spent 59 days on the market, slower than the pace during the housing boom.
Orange County is currently a mix of opportunity and adjustment. Buyers may finally have some negotiating power again, while sellers might have to do a little more to attract interest.
