Irvine CA Home Selling Market Trends & Update

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart, Evergreen Realty

Irvine CA is the economy engine driver at Orange County - has a population of about 230,000 people and still growing.

People are especially attracted to Irvine, because of its positive local economy and jobs, famous and award-winning schools, that it is one of the safest cities in America, and some of the best weather anywhere. 

More homes are sold and money spent to buy Irvine real estate as compared with any other city in the OC. 

 

740 Irvine homes are now listed for sale - as of September 9, 2014 - according to CRMLS multiple listing service.

Average price at Irvine for a home now for sale is more than $1.1 million. 

172 Irvine sellers got buyers for homes under contract and went into escrow during the past 30 days - and average list price for those homes was $880,156.

So the average list price of an Irvine home going into escrow ($880,156) is almost twenty percent lower than average for sale listing price of all Irvine homes ($1.1 million).  

What this shows is that some Irvine home owners who listed their homes were unrealistic about price and need to look more carefully at fair market value - what other homes in the neighborhoods have actually sold for.

208 Irvine homes sold with closed deals during the past 30 days.  Average sold price for those sold homes was $805,980 – and average time on market was 62 days.

Average time it would theoretically take to sell all homes now listed for sale (740) at current pace of home selling (182 per month) is more than 4 months.

This average time to sell Irvine homes has increased especially during the past 90 days.

Irvine home selling market still  favors sellers.  However, this is trending to more balance recently with increased number of listings and sales moderating.  

Buyers have more negotiating power and better choices now as compared with earlier this year and during 2013.

Harrison, it appears to be the trend here in LA too a little more balanced market...not sure if it was the heat of  December  through May? Now it is not as over heated here either. Clearly it is a Price Driven Real Estate Market. Endre

Endre ... You are right that we seem to be in a more price driven home selling market these days at Irvine CA - perhaps similar to yours at Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.
