What This Means
Garden Grove's spring market is showing mixed signals that paint a picture of a cooling buyer base meeting rising seller expectations. Prices continue climbing with the median up nearly 8% both month-over-month and year-over-year, now sitting at $1.046 million. Yet that strength masks an underlying weakness: sales volume dropped 2% this month and a concerning 19.4% compared to April 2025. Homes are also sitting longer, with average days on market jumping from 56 to 76 days in just one month. This suggests fewer buyers are willing to move at current price points, even though sellers remain confident—homes are still selling for 100.7% of asking price.
The inventory situation tells us why prices haven't softened despite slower sales. With 164 active listings and a median asking price matching last month's sold price nearly exactly, sellers believe they have options. However, the fact that active listings are staying on the market 66 days on average hints at a disconnect between asking prices and buyer appetite. For anyone considering selling in Garden Grove right now, it's a seller's market by the numbers, but patience is increasingly required. Buyers, meanwhile, may find more negotiating room than recent months have allowed.
