What This Means
Tustin's real estate market is showing classic spring momentum with prices climbing steadily, though buyer activity is cooling. The median price jumped 7.2% from March and 15.2% year-over-year, signaling strong appreciation in Orange County's established neighborhoods. Sellers are clearly holding their ground—homes are selling at 99.4% of list price, which is essentially asking price these days. However, the 7.9% month-over-month dip in sales volume suggests fewer buyers are stepping up to the plate, likely a reflection of persistent mortgage rates that remain elevated compared to a few years ago.
What's particularly telling is the gap between what's selling versus what's waiting. Active listings have ballooned to 129 homes with a median asking price that's $206,000 below what homes are actually fetching. This inventory buildup combined with sales declining year-over-year hints at an inventory correction underway. Days on market ticked up slightly to 59 days, which is still respectable for the spring season but worth watching. Single-family homes remain the backbone of the market at 35% of sales, and the price-per-square-foot holding steady at $709 suggests the market isn't overheating—it's adjusting to a new equilibrium where higher prices and selective buyers are creating a more balanced playing field.
