Selling a home in North Tustin? Don't make the mistake of pricing it like a tract home.

North Tustin's median is running around $1.85M, at roughly $743 per square foot. Tustin Ranch is at about $742 per square foot. Pretty much the same number — but these are very different types of real estate.

North Tustin is Orange County's largest unincorporated community. Custom homes, larger lots, and properties where no two floor plans match. In a market like this, the land itself can be a significant part of the value.

That's where sellers make the mistake. If you're pulling comps based only on price per square foot, you're pricing the structure and ignoring the parcel — the lot size, the frontage, the views, the setting. A 2,300 sq ft home on a flat interior lot and a 2,300 sq ft home on a half-acre ridgeline in Lemon Heights are not the same listing, and they should never carry the same number.

Homes are currently selling in about 32 days, so pricing correctly still matters. The demand is there. The margin for error isn't.

If you own in Lemon Heights, Cowan Heights, Panorama Heights, or Red Hill, don't just ask "what is my house worth?" Ask "what is my property — and my land — worth?"

DM "TUSTIN" and we'll walk through what your lot is contributing to your number.

Things to do in Irvine this weekend — and it's a full one. 📍

Saturday: Pacific Symphony closes out SummerFest with ARRIVAL from Sweden at Great Park Live, Orange County SC pairs Family Night with Touch A Truck at Championship Stadium, and Atomic Ballroom runs a beginner swing bootcamp. Sunday brings the Splash Dash at Wild Rivers. Outside Irvine: Sea Country Festival in Laguna Niguel and the La Habra Corn Festival & Parade run both days, Anime Impulse takes over the Anaheim Convention Center, Jason Bonham plays Pacific Amphitheatre, and Sunday delivers the Chicano Heritage Festival in Santa Ana, Daniel Caesar at Honda Center, and the Dana Point Classic Car Show. Sawdust, Art-A-Fair, Pageant of the Masters and Phantom at Segerstrom are all still going.

Here's what most Irvine sellers miss: this calendar is part of your listing's value. A buyer touring Great Park or Woodbridge in August isn't only pricing the floor plan — they're pricing walkable Saturday nights, free community programming, and a 20-minute drive to the coast. The listings that move fastest are the ones marketed around that, not just the specs.

Which one of these are you actually making it to this weekend, and what's stopping you from the rest? 👇

OC Market Snapshot, July 2026

Wondering if now is a good time to sell in Irvine? Here's the July 2026 Orange County scoreboard.

Detached homes: 1,198 closed sales, 3.3 months of inventory, a $1,460,000 median, and 32 average days on market. Attached homes: 727 closed sales, 4.2 months of inventory, a $767,500 median, and 42 average days on market.

Read the gap between those two columns. Detached supply is tighter and moving nearly two weeks faster than attached. A market is generally considered balanced somewhere in the 4–6 month range — detached is still sitting below that, attached is climbing into it. Two different selling conditions inside the same county, in the same month.

What that means if you own a detached home in Irvine: the demand is there, but 32 days is an average, not a promise. The homes hitting it are the ones priced against actual closed comps in their own village — not against the county median, and not against what a neighbor listed at in 2024. The first two weeks on market are where your price gets decided. Everything after that is negotiation from a weaker position.

DM "SELL" for a pricing strategy built on your village's closed comps, not county-wide numbers.

Selling a home in Old Town Tustin is the one part of this city where price per square foot will cost you money.

Central Tustin — the 92780 zip — is sitting near a $1.2M median sale price at roughly $634 per square foot, with homes moving in about 39 days. Tustin Ranch is around $735 a foot. Tustin Legacy is around $726. On paper that reads like Old Town is discounted. It isn't. It's the only part of Tustin that was never mass-built, so the "average" is blending 1920s Craftsman restorations with untouched mid-century ranches and calling them the same product.

There is no comp two streets over with your floor plan. Condition, lot size, and permit history carry more weight here than square footage does — and buyers are underwriting it that way. What they'll pay up for: most of Old Town carries no HOA dues and no Mello-Roos, which changes the monthly payment math against a same-priced home in Legacy. Add the El Camino Real and Main Street streetscape work running through summer 2026, the Saturday Farmers Market, and Peppertree Park, and the walkability premium is real.

Pull your last three closest closings by condition — not by square footage — before you set a list price.

DM "TUSTIN" and we'll send you the closings on your street, not a Zestimate.

Orange County buyers, let’s clear a few things up. 👇
Myth: Inventory is impossibly tight right now.
Fact: OC has 5,100+ active listings on the market this week.
Myth: This market is way more competitive than last year.
Fact: Inventory, days on market, and pending sales are nearly identical to this same week in 2025 — the real difference is mortgage rates, up about a quarter point.
Myth: You should wait for prices to drop.
Fact: OC’s median home price climbed again this month, past $1.4M for single-family homes.

Buying a condo in Woodbridge Irvine for the first time can feel like a guessing game — we're still thinking about this note from Wendy.

"I cannot recommend Shweta highly enough! As someone new to the home-buying process, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but she made the entire experience incredibly easy and stress-free… Thanks to her guidance and expertise, I am absolutely thrilled with my new condo in Woodbridge." — Wendy Liao

Wendy, thank you for trusting us with your first purchase. Watching you go from "I'm not sure what to expect" to holding keys in Woodbridge is the whole reason we do this.

First-time buyers deserve the same level of strategy, responsiveness, and vetted referral network as a seasoned investor — and that's exactly what we bring to every transaction in Irvine.

If you're a first-time buyer eyeing Woodbridge or anywhere in Irvine, what's the one part of the process that feels most unclear to you right now?

Looking for homes for lease in Woodbridge Irvine? Here's what $5,500 a month gets you right now.

110 Firwood is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath end unit — 2,044 sq ft on a cul-de-sac, with one bedroom and a full bath downstairs and the other three up. Laminate flooring through the bedrooms, living and dining rooms. Large backyard with fruit trees, and street parking that's actually easy to find.

The location is the part that doesn't show up in the listing photos: walkable to Eastshore Elementary and Lakeside Middle, with the Firwood pool and North Lake tennis courts right there. That's the whole reason Woodbridge leases move — full access to two lakes with sand beach lagoons, 20+ pools, 20+ tennis courts, and the trail loops around both lakes.

Woodbridge lease inventory in this size range turns over fast, and the well-positioned ones don't sit. If the layout and the school boundaries line up for you, move on it early rather than waiting for the next one to post.

DM "LEASE" for the full details and a private showing.

Should you sell your home in 2026… or wait until 2027? 🏡

This is one of the biggest questions I’m hearing from homeowners right now.

And honestly, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

Waiting for prices to rise sounds tempting—but the market can change. Interest rates, inventory, buyer demand, and competition can all look different next year.

Instead of trying to predict the perfect time to sell, look at YOUR numbers:

🏠 How much equity do you have?
📊 How much competition is in your neighborhood?
💰 What are interest rates doing?
📍 How is your specific area performing?
🎯 What are your personal goals and timeline?

Sometimes selling now makes sense. Sometimes waiting does.

The important thing is making the decision based on your situation—not headlines or predictions.

Don’t wait for the perfect market. Let’s look at your numbers and make a plan.

Selling a home in Tustin Legacy is a different game than selling in Tustin Ranch — and the numbers show exactly why.

Tustin Legacy's median sale price is running around $1.4M at roughly $726 per square foot. Tustin Ranch is at about $735 per square foot. Nearly identical value per foot. But Legacy homes are averaging around 43 days on market, up from about 30 a year ago, while Tustin Ranch is clearing in about 28.

That spread isn't the neighborhood. It's newer inventory, Mello-Roos in the monthly payment math, and list prices set off a neighbor's aspirational number instead of recent closings. Buyers in this pocket are sharp — Heritage Elementary and Legacy Magnet Academy are inside the community, Veterans Sports Park is 32 acres on Valencia, and The District is minutes away. They know what they're buying. They just won't overpay for it.

Price it to the last three comparable closings, not to the highest active listing on your street, and Tustin Legacy moves.

DM "TUSTIN" and we'll send you the real number your home should list at — not a Zestimate.

The second time is the real test.

Anyone can get hired once. Getting called back for a second home sale means the first one actually went the way it was supposed to — smooth, honest, no surprises.

Justin trusted us with his Irvine sale again, and that repeat trust is the part we don't take lightly. Listing and selling a home in Irvine right now takes more than putting a sign in the yard. It takes accurate pricing, a real prep plan, and someone who tells you the truth even when it isn't what you want to hear.

Thank you, Justin. Reviews like this are the reason we do this work.

Thinking about selling your Irvine home this year? DM me "SELL" and we'll put together a pricing strategy built on what's actually happening in your neighborhood.

What matters most to you when choosing an agent — experience, communication, or results?
