In April 2026, Orange County recorded a 2.43-month supply of inventory, reflecting a 6% increase from the previous month but still down 12% compared to last year. While inventory has improved slightly month-over-month, the year-over-year decline continues to highlight the ongoing shortage of available homes across the county.

The market remains highly active, with 3,080 new listings entering the market at a median list price of $1,299,000. Active listings reached 4,176 homes with a median list price of $1,400,000, demonstrating continued confidence among sellers despite shifting market conditions.

Buyer demand remains strong, as homes continue to move quickly. New pending listings averaged just 15 days on the market, signaling that well-priced properties are attracting immediate attention. The median sold price came in at $1,250,000, representing a modest 1% decrease from the previous month, suggesting a slight leveling in pricing while overall values remain historically strong.

Overall, Orange County continues to favor sellers due to limited inventory and sustained buyer demand. Buyers should be prepared to act decisively, while sellers can still benefit from competitive conditions and strong pricing.
