As we step into fall, it’s the perfect time to assess how the real estate market performed this past month across some of Orange County’s most desirable coastal communities.
🏡 Newport Beach
Closed Sales: 63 homes
Change in Sales Volume: ⬆️ 34%
Average Sales Price: $3,262,500
Change in Price: ⬇️ 4.5%
Newport Beach saw a strong uptick in sales activity this September, with 34% more homes closing compared to the same time last year. However, the average sale price dipped from 2024 levels, suggesting increased movement in more moderately priced segments of the market.
🏘️ Costa Mesa
Closed Sales: 45 homes
Change in Sales Volume: ⬆️ 9.8%
Average Sales Price: $1,517,500
Change in Price: ⬇️ 1.9%
Costa Mesa posted a modest gain in closed sales while seeing a slight drop in average home prices. This may point to broader buyer activity in entry-level and mid-range price points, even as demand holds steady.
🌊 Corona del Mar
Closed Sales: 19 homes
Change in Sales Volume: ⬆️ 11.8%
Average Sales Price: $4,000,000
Change in Price: ⬇️ 7%
In CDM, closed sales increased year-over-year, but average pricing cooled from the previous year’s highs. While the market remains strong for luxury homes, the dip in price suggests buyers may be exercising more selectivity in the premium segment.
Combined Summary:
September 2025 revealed a market leaning toward higher sales volume across all three cities, yet with some cooling in average sale prices—especially in Newport Beach and CDM. The shift hints at broader participation across a wider range of price points, while luxury buyers remain active but more price-conscious. Overall, demand remains solid heading into the final quarter of the year.
