Year-Over-Year Comparison

What This Means
Orange's housing market is firing on all cylinders this March, and the numbers tell a compelling story. Sales volume jumped 74 percent month-over-month to 87 homes, suggesting buyers are shaking off winter lethargy as spring kicks in. More importantly, median prices climbed to $1.23 million—up nearly 12 percent from February and 15 percent year-over-year—while homes are selling faster, spending just 60 days on market instead of 73. The fact that homes are selling for 100.4 percent of asking price indicates genuine demand isn't just returning; it's outpacing supply, at least temporarily.
What's particularly interesting is the sale-to-list ratio, which suggests a balanced but slightly seller-friendly market. With 127 active listings on the market at a median asking price of $1.288 million, there's enough inventory to avoid a feeding frenzy, yet homes aren't sitting long. Single-family homes dominate the activity—60 of the 87 sales—which aligns with broader Southern California trends favoring detached properties.
The year-over-year data deserves a closer look, though. While prices are up smartly, sales volume is essentially flat compared to March 2025, suggesting that price appreciation might be testing buyer limits. For sellers, this momentum is excellent; for buyers, affordability continues to tighten.
