MARKET REPORT · OCTOBER 2026

San Clemente (ZIP 92672) has a typical home value of $1.75M as of Aug 2026, +7.5% over twelve months. The metro buyer-versus-seller gauge for the week ending Sep 19, 2026 reads “Leans buyers”.

What changed

  • Week over week: the metro gauge held at “Leans buyers” (59 to 62). New pending sales were 1,154 against 1,195 last week, and new listings 1,598 against 1,614.
  • Month over month: the typical value moved from $1.73M in Jul 2026 to $1.75M in Aug 2026 (+1.06%).
  • Four weeks: the gauge rose from 59 to 62 (higher favors buyers).

If you are buying

  • Supply is steady. About 99 homes are for sale.
  • Price adjustments. About 26% of listings have had a price cut.
  • Payment. The average 30-year fixed rate was 7.28% (Freddie Mac, week of Oct 1, 2026), which Rudy can turn into a monthly figure for any home.

If you are selling

  • Demand. Zillow’s market temperature for the ZIP is 70 out of 100.
  • Pricing. A list price built on this month’s and this week’s activity is the strongest tool a seller has; Rudy can prepare one at no charge.

These figures describe the past and the wider area. They are not an appraisal, a price opinion or a forecast. For your own street or building, ask Rudy for a personal report.

* The loan would be above the 2026 conforming limit for Orange County ($1,249,125). Jumbo loans are priced and underwritten a little differently, so ask your lender about both.

Averages hide a lot. In ZIP 92672 the upper tier is valued at about 2.4 times the entry level ($2,703,077 against $1,150,053), so “what does a home cost here?” has three very different answers.

Over the last twelve months the upper tier tier moved the most (+7.6%) and the entry level tier the least (+6.2%). Over five years it was the typical tier that rose the most (+49.8%).

Home typeTypical valueVs a year agoVs five years ago
Single-family homes$1,899,841+7.7%+49.9%

A typical single-family home is valued at $1,899,841 and a typical condo at $1,115,306: a gap of $784,535 (condos run about 41% below houses). Condos add HOA dues to the monthly cost, so the true gap in monthly terms is smaller than the price gap suggests.

Sold above listSold below list

For buyers

  • Homes in the metro are closing about 0.4% under their list price on average, so there is often room between the asking price and the contract price.
  • More homes sold below list (49%) than above it (38%), which points to negotiating room on many listings.
  • In ZIP 92672, 26% of listings have had a price cut, higher than 77% of months since 2018.

For sellers

  • With 49% of metro sales below list and 38% above, the price a home is first offered at tends to decide which group it lands in.
  • Price cuts are more common than usual in this ZIP right now, so a list price that matches recent sales helps a home avoid becoming one of them.

Market conditions describe the past and the wider area. They do not predict what will happen to any one home, and they are not advice. Ask Rudy for the numbers on your own street.

How the gauge works

Weekly gauge. Weekly sales data is not published by ZIP code, so the weekly reading uses the whole Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim metro area (which includes Orange County). Half the score is months of supply (homes for sale divided by the pace of new pending sales); the other half compares this week’s price-cut share, days to pending and pending-versus-new-listings ratio with every week since 2018. Zero is strongly seller-favoring, 100 strongly buyer-favoring.

Monthly gauge. Compares this month’s homes for sale, price-cut share and Zillow’s market temperature in this ZIP with the ZIP’s own past readings. It shows how this month feels next to what is normal here.

Both are simple summaries of public data at a moment in time, not advice or a forecast.
