Скачать или смотреть The Issue With The Housing Market In Orange County

Why does it still feel like a "bidding war" environment in some parts of Orange County despite the headlines? In this video, we tackle the reality of the 2026 market: the persistent lack of inventory. While we’ve seen a slight uptick in homes hitting the market compared to the record lows of the last two years, we are still operating at roughly 50% of our pre-pandemic supply levels. This structural shortage means that when a "turnkey" or desirable home hits the market in cities like Irvine, Newport Beach, or Mission Viejo, it’s gone in days. For many buyers, the competition makes it feel like a red-hot sellers' market, even as macro-economic factors suggest a shift toward balance.

We’ll dive into the "Inventory Cliff" of late 2025 and how the current supply squeeze is impacting home prices across different zip codes. While luxury properties over $4M are seeing longer days on market, the entry-level and move-up segments are still seeing multiple offers and lightning-fast sales. Understanding this "split market" is crucial if you're planning to buy or sell this year. We’ll discuss why inventory is the number one metric to watch in 2026 and how you can position your offer to win when the right home finally appears.
