Single level living at the end of a coveted cul de sac: an open kitchen at the center of the house, two fireplaces, and a private backyard shaded by fruit and citrus trees.
Step through the entry and the house opens up. A light filled living room runs along the front of the home, warm wood floors underfoot, crown molding and wainscoting framing every wall, a fireplace anchoring one end. The heart of the home is the kitchen, where a large center island in stone anchors white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar built for weekday mornings. It flows without interruption into the family room and its second fireplace, so whoever is cooking is never out of the conversation. Three bedrooms and two baths sit on a single level with no stairs anywhere, and the primary opens directly onto the yard.

Orange County is in a more balanced late-summer market: inventory remains below its pre-pandemic average, demand has improved modestly, and buyers have more time to make a thoughtful decision than they did in recent years.
Pending sales rose by 41 over the prior two weeks. That is still below the 2017–2019 average, reflecting today's affordability constraints and a more selective buyer pool.
Active inventory was nearly unchanged in the prior two weeks and remains below the 2017–2019 average. Fewer choices than the pre-pandemic norm continue to shape the market.
Expected market time for homes priced between $2.5 million and $4 million improved from 148 to 111 days over the prior two weeks.
