Upper tier (top third)	$2,369,693	+3.4%	+45.7%	$12,971 *

* The loan would be above the 2026 conforming limit for Orange County ($1,249,125). Jumbo loans are priced and underwritten a little differently, so ask your lender about both.

Averages hide a lot. In ZIP 92673 the upper tier is valued at about 1.9 times the entry level ($2,369,693 against $1,262,907), so “what does a home cost here?” has three very different answers.

Over the last twelve months the upper tier tier moved the most (+3.4%) and the typical tier the least (+3.0%). Over five years it was the upper tier tier that rose the most (+45.7%).

Single-family homes and condos

Typical value of each home type in ZIP 92673, Aug 2026.

Single-family versus condo
Home type	Typical value	Vs a year ago	Vs five years ago
Single-family homes	$1,840,830	+3.0%	+45.5%
Condos	$1,062,184	+2.2%	+36.9%

A typical single-family home is valued at $1,840,830 and a typical condo at $1,062,184: a gap of $778,645 (condos run about 42% below houses). Condos add HOA dues to the monthly cost, so the true gap in monthly terms is smaller than the price gap suggests.

Sold above listSold below list

For buyers

Homes in the metro are closing about 0.4% under their list price on average, so there is often room between the asking price and the contract price.
More homes sold below list (49%) than above it (38%), which points to negotiating room on many listings.
In ZIP 92673, 23% of listings have had a price cut, higher than 61% of months since 2018.

For sellers

With 49% of metro sales below list and 38% above, the price a home is first offered at tends to decide which group it lands in.
Price cuts are more common than usual in this ZIP right now, so a list price that matches recent sales helps a home avoid becoming one of them.

Market conditions describe the past and the wider area. They do not predict what will happen to any one home, and they are not advice. Ask Rudy for the numbers on your own street.

How the gauge works

Weekly gauge. Weekly sales data is not published by ZIP code, so the weekly reading uses the whole Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim metro area (which includes Orange County). Half the score is months of supply (homes for sale divided by the pace of new pending sales); the other half compares this week’s price-cut share, days to pending and pending-versus-new-listings ratio with every week since 2018. Zero is strongly seller-favoring, 100 strongly buyer-favoring.

Monthly gauge. Compares this month’s homes for sale, price-cut share and Zillow’s market temperature in this ZIP with the ZIP’s own past readings. It shows how this month feels next to what is normal here.

Both are simple summaries of public data at a moment in time, not advice or a forecast.
