Orange County Housing Market Statistics
With a low supply and strong demand, the market has not been this hot since 2013.
While unemployment is still high and the overall economy is slowly crawling its way out of a forced stoppage, housing has been a bright spot with a “V-Shaped” recovery. It came roaring back and trends have emerged that pave the way to a strong finish to 2020 in Orange County.
The active listing inventory shed 55 homes in the past two-weeks, down 1%, and now sits at 4,590, the lowest level for a July since tracking began in 2004.
Note to Buyers & Sellers
Demand is at its hottest level since 2012.
Amid the lockdown, COVID-19 suppressed buyer activity and demand dropped to 1,008 pending sales in mid-April, a low last hit in 2008 during the Great Recession. Demand had doubled from its April lows by the end of May and had tripled by the start of July. Interest rates have continued to drop and have reached 3%, a record low. READ MORE
