A median that means something in Newport Beach means nothing in Costa Mesa, and a county-wide average flattens both. 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, and new markets will join this page as coverage grows.
Two more markets, read by season
Irvine and Huntington Beach are covered a different way: instead of a monthly snapshot, each page is a seasonal calendar built from three years of Zillow Research data. It answers the questions people search for most, when to sell, when to buy, how fast homes go, and it stays true all year.
The best month to sell, the best month to buy, the fastest month to list, and where buyers hold leverage, from the market with the sharpest spring peak and winter trough on the coast.

The county average is not your market
In August, the median Newport Beach area sale closed at $3.8 million and took about five weeks. The median Costa Mesa sale closed at just over $1.5 million in about four weeks. County-wide, over the past thirty days, the median home sold for about $1.21 million. Those are not three versions of one story. They are three 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.

Local strategy. Legal insight.
Elevated representation.
I track these three 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.
