OC Market Snapshot
|
$1,475,000 — Orange County median price for an existing single-family home in July, up 5.4% year over year and down 1.0% from June ( C.A.R. July 2026 report). 3.1 months of supply in Orange County, up from 2.8 in June and down from 3.3 a year ago ( C.A.R. county tables). Statewide: California’s median is $887,680, up 0.3% year over year and down 1.9% from June. Sales came in at a 263,170 annualized pace, up 1.1% year over year but off 6.0% from June ( C.A.R.). Rates: the 30-year fixed averaged 6.65% the week of August 20, down two basis points on the week ( Freddie Mac PMMS).
Takeaway for WGP agents: barely three months of supply against a median that is still up year over year. The buyers on this list are chasing a small pool, which is exactly when an off-market match beats waiting for something to hit the market.

This Week’s Agent Briefs
|
|
Every week a property in Orange County changes hands without ever being publicly marketed — not through a portal, not through a mailer, but through one agent picking up the phone and calling another. This brief walks the whole sequence, start to close, so you can see exactly where you fit in it.

Monday walked through the mechanics. This one is the map. Thirteen Orange County cities where WGP agents currently have both a buyer need and a pre-market property on the board at the same time — the exact places a phone call is most likely to turn into a deal.
