MLS-backed market updates for Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine, and Orange County as a whole — written locally, refreshed monthly, and built for the decision actually in front of you.

A median that means something in Newport Beach means nothing in Costa Mesa, and a county-wide average flattens all of them. Each update below is built from its own CRMLS data, on its own terms, so the numbers you read describe the market you are in.
Months of supply: how long today's homes for sale would take to sell at the current sales pace — under about four months generally favors sellers. Each update is rebuilt monthly from CRMLS data for its own geography, covering the full prior calendar month of closings.
Get all five in one email a month: Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine and Orange County, with what actually closed and what it means for the decision in front of you.
In October, the median Newport Beach area sale closed at $4.13M and took about three weeks to go under contract. The median Costa Mesa sale closed at $1.5M in under three weeks. Huntington Beach closed at $1.34M in about four weeks, Irvine at $1.44M in about five and a half, and county-wide the median home sold for about $1.23M in about four. Those are not five versions of one story. They are five different markets that happen to share a freeway.
That gap is also where the opportunity lives. Many of my clients are longtime Newport Beach or Corona del Mar owners who sell into the luxury market and right-size into Costa Mesa or elsewhere in Orange County — and, if they are 55 or older, carry their existing property-tax base with them under Proposition 19. Reading both sides of that move correctly, on the same month's data, is the whole point of this page.

Proposition 19 details here are general education, not tax or legal advice — eligibility, value tests, and deadlines are specific to your situation, and we plan them with your CPA or estate-planning attorney.
Rates set what buyers can afford, so they move every market on this page. These are the daily national averages from Mortgage News Daily, with Freddie Mac's weekly survey alongside.
Published market averages for general information only, not a loan offer or rate quote. Jade Larney is a licensed real estate agent, not a lender.

I track these five markets every month because my clients' decisions usually live in more than one of them — the Newport Beach sale, the Costa Mesa purchase, the county-wide context that frames both. If you want the numbers translated into a plan for your own move, that conversation is the next step.
