A Typical Fullerton Home Now Sells for More Than a Million Dollars

Here’s the number everyone will quote you: a typical Fullerton home now sells for more than a million dollars, about $1,020,500, up about 4% from a year ago, and it still goes under contract in just over two weeks. That’s a million-dollar market that’s still moving fast.

So why is Fullerton still this tight? It’s simple: there aren’t many homes for sale. The number to watch is new contracts. 33 homes went into escrow last month, about half of last September. If that holds, Fullerton’s closings next month could come in lighter.

What the price numbers are really saying

The median is the middle of the market, half of Fullerton’s sales came in above about $1,020,500, half below. The average price was up about 12%, to about $1,194,000. Homes sold at 100% of their final asking price, and sellers ended up at about 98.9% of their original list price, so most homes sold without much of a fight on price.

There aren’t many homes for sale

Active listings in Fullerton fell about 17% from last year, to 153 homes. That works out to about 2.5 months of supply, which is low. Months of supply is how long it would take to sell everything at the current pace. Under three months, sellers run the show, and in Fullerton, they do.

Demand: steady closings, fewer new contracts

Closed sales held steady at 60 homes, the same as last September, and total dollar volume was up about 18%. But only 33 homes went into escrow, about half of last September. Low supply, full-price sales, and fewer new contracts, that’s the full picture.

How fast homes are moving

Homes did take a little longer, about 16 days compared with 13 last year. But 16 days is still very fast. In a market this tight, the right home priced right is gone in about two weeks.

The full September scorecard

On the supply side, Fullerton brought 69 (down 5.5%) new listings, held 153 (down 16.8%) active listings, and carried 2.5 (down 10.7%) months of supply.

On demand, pending sales came in at 33 (down 51.5%), closed sales at 60 (flat), total closed sides at 126.0 (up 5.0%), and total closed dollar volume at $150,395,600 (up 17.8%).

On price, the median came in at $1,020,500 (up 4.4%), the average at $1,193,616 (up 12.2%), and price per square foot at $627 (down 1.3%). Homes closed at 100.0% (flat) of last list price and 98.9% (down 0.8%) of original list price.

On timing and activity, the median home was 16 (up 23.1%) days active in the MLS, with 3.5 (up 16.7%) showings to contract and 2.3 (down 20.7%) showings per listing.

If you’re selling

It’s almost never the price. It’s marketing exposure to the right buyer. In a market this tight, about 2.5 months of supply and full-price sales, that gets rewarded. Price to today’s comps, put it in front of the right buyers, and you’re likely under contract in about two weeks.

If you’re buying

Don’t expect much of a discount on the good homes, so get pre-approved before you tour. Supply is low and homes are closing at full asking. And a lot of people who think they can’t afford Orange County are closer than they think. With new contracts down to about half of last September, homes that sit past the 16-day mark may give you a little room.

The bottom line

Fullerton is a million-dollar market that’s still moving fast, median about $1,020,500 (up about 4%), full-price sales, homes under contract in about 16 days, and only about 2.5 months of supply. For sellers, that means you have the edge. For buyers, it means being ready to move. Either way, the city average isn’t your answer, your price range and your specific home are. That’s worth a real conversation before you make a move.
