Aliso Viejo
Aliso Viejo still leans seller‑friendly. In Canyon View Estates, most homes close between $1.25M–$1.66M, with a median near $1.35M. Average time on market is about 22 days, and sellers achieve roughly 99% of list price. Year‑to‑date activity shows solid interest from potential buyers relocating from Los Angeles and coastal enclaves like Laguna Beach who want newer construction and easier commutes.
Price growth has cooled from prior time highs, but well‑prepped, well‑priced homes still move fast. For broader South OC context on market conditions and real estate markets, check our Summer 2025 Market Snapshot.
Buyers watch interest rates and the Federal Reserve closely. When mortgage costs ease—even in the short term—we see more tour requests and stronger offers. A steady labor market and modest economic growth support confidence, while stock and equity markets near recent highs help move cash from portfolios into down payments. On the other side, some fixed income investors prefer real estate for yield and inflation protection, which keeps demand resilient across segments.
Canyon View Estates benefits from this “macro tailwind.” Families trading up from Los Angeles neighborhoods and coastal areas like Laguna Beach often compare our value, schools, and trail access against older housing stock. Even when the United States economy feels choppy, South OC remains a stable, lifestyle‑driven market rather than an emerging market. If rates drop or stabilize, watch for an uptick in qualified buyers and multiple‑offer scenarios—especially for turnkey homes with strong outdoor living.
Buyers here want space, modern updates, and easy indoor‑outdoor living. Emphasize:
Do these first to stand out and earn stronger offers:
Review recent comps with your REALTOR®. Most sales land around $1.3M–$1.6M. Adjust for square footage, condition, lot size, and view. Avoid chasing the market up—low inventory is already your ally. If rates dip, expect a bump in qualified potential buyers; if they rise, lean harder on presentation and strategic pricing.
