ORANGE COUNTY
Orange County is enjoying a *seller’s market in homes priced under $1 million, but the market is still sensitive
after the snubbing it received for the last few years. As prices hit bottom in Q1 2009, sales volume returned,
but both sales volume and price strength ebbed when they surpassed the numbers in late 2008. Buyers and
sellers should pay close attention to inventory levels as they list their homes and make offers to purchase.
*A balanced market is widely accepted as having six months of inventory on hand with market conditions favorable to both buyers and
sellers. A buyer’s market is characterized by conditions such as high inventories, falling prices, concessions by sellers, and incentives among
other indicators. A seller’s market has low inventories of homes for sale, escalating prices, and keen competition between buyers, including
multiple offers. Detached homes stand alone and share no common walls with any other neighboring home. Attached homes share at least
one common wall with another home. The type of home ownership is determined by whether or not it is a condominium, townhome, duplex,
co-operative or other.
