Anaheim Market Update, July 2026: Homes Are Closing at Full Price in Just 13 Days

Watch the full Anaheim breakdown — 2:26.

Everyone keeps telling you the market has cooled off — so here’s a number that might stop you in your tracks: right now in Anaheim, homes are closing at full price in just 13 days. Not 60. Not 30. Thirteen. And here’s the part almost nobody expects — there’s actually less competition to worry about than there’s been in a while. That combination is rare, and it’s beautiful. Let me show you why this month tells such an amazing story, because the numbers don’t lie.

The momentum is real

Let’s start with the activity, because it’s phenomenal. Closed sales came in at 95, up 3.3%. Total closed sides hit 214, up 16.3%. And closed volume? $200,362,500, up 20.6%.

That is real momentum, not a fluke. More homes are selling, and they’re selling at higher dollar amounts. When you see volume climb like that, it tells you money is moving with confidence — buyers aren’t hesitating, they’re closing.

Here’s the part that matters most

This is the same thing I’m telling my own sellers right now, so pay attention to this one.

New listings dropped 33.5% to 109. Pending sales dropped 42.7% to 55.

Fewer homes are coming to market, and fewer are going under contract in the moment. That’s exactly what creates the conditions for a strong seller’s position. Less competition for the sellers who do list — it’s really that simple. When there are fewer homes on the shelf, the ones that are there get all the attention.

Prices and demand are both climbing

The median sales price climbed to $936,273, up 3.7%. The average sales price rose to $944,000, up 5.9%.

And here’s a number I love: homes are closing at 100.1% of list price. That’s full price — nothing given away. Days on market held steady at 13, so homes aren’t sitting.

Now, the number I watch closest. Showing activity is heating up. Shows to contract jumped 50%, and shows per listing rose 20.7% to 3.5. Rising showings with steady days on market tells me buyers are serious — they’re not just browsing, they’re ready to move.

Months supply sits at exactly 3.0, right on the line between a balanced market and a seller’s advantage. Based on everything I’m seeing, Anaheim is leaning toward sellers.

Let me put all of that together in plain language, because that’s really the whole job. Prices up. Demand up. Inventory down. Homes selling at full price, fast. That is not a market taking a breather — that’s a market with quiet, steady strength underneath it.

What this means for you

If you’re a seller — this is a wonderful time to list. Full price closings, steady days on market, fewer competing listings out there. I genuinely wouldn’t wait on this. When there’s less inventory and demand is rising, your home stands out. Every extra listing that comes to market later is one more home competing with yours — right now you have the stage more to yourself.

If you’re a buyer — please don’t believe the narrative that it’s not a good time to buy. I hear that one all the time, and I disagree with it firmly. Competition for every listing is increasing, which means the good ones move fast. If you’re pre-approved and ready, come prepared, and I’ll guide you through it. It’s really simple if you follow the process.

The takeaway

Here’s the honest picture of what waiting costs you, both ways. Sellers who sit on the sidelines watch more listings pour in and more competition arrive right as their edge is at its strongest today. Buyers who “wait for a better time” watch prices keep climbing and the best homes get scooped up before they ever tour them. That’s the downside of standing still.

But the upside? Sellers who list into this — fewer competing homes, full-price closings, buyers who are ready — are in a genuinely wonderful position. And buyers who move now, while they’re pre-approved and prepared, are stepping in ahead of the crowd instead of chasing it.

Full price closings. Rising demand. Fewer listings. That’s a wonderful position to be in — whether you’re buying or selling. So here’s your one simple next step: if you’re thinking about making a move in 2026, let’s talk about what these exact numbers mean for your specific situation. No pressure, just a real conversation.

The market isn’t waiting. The beautiful news is, neither do you have to — you just need someone to walk you through it.
