Year-Over-Year Comparison

What This Means
Santa Ana's housing market is showing some encouraging momentum heading into spring. March saw a significant jump in sales activity, with 82 homes sold compared to 59 the previous month—a 39 percent increase that suggests buyers are finally coming off the sidelines as the season turns warmer. The median price climbed to $817,500, continuing a gentle upward trend. What's really telling is that homes are selling at 99.8 percent of list price and spending less time on the market. With the average listing now sitting for 77 days instead of 101 the month before, sellers are experiencing considerably faster turnovers, indicating genuine buyer interest rather than desperate price-cutting.
However, it's worth noting that year-over-year comparisons are less rosy. Sales volume is down nearly 20 percent compared to March 2025, and price appreciation has been modest at just 1.2 percent annually. The slight gap between median and average prices suggests a healthy mix of properties across the market, though single-family homes continue to dominate sales. With 305 active listings at a median asking price of $799,000, there's enough inventory to support healthy competition, which may explain why prices remain relatively stable without the dramatic swings we've seen in other California markets.
