Selling in Tustin Legacy? Here's what's happening in the market right now.

Median sale price just hit $1,382,000 — up 6.6% from a year ago. And there are only 19 homes for sale across the whole neighborhood, from Columbus Square and Greenwood to the new construction going up at Levity.

That combination — rising prices, shrinking supply — is exactly the window sellers wait for. Buyers already know Tustin Legacy: The District, Legacy Magnet Academy, the historic blimp hangar. They're not hesitant about the area, they're just waiting for a well-priced listing to show up.

If you've been thinking about selling in Tustin Legacy, this is the market to do it in.

DM "SELL" and I'll walk you through what your home could bring in today's market.

🏡 Should you buy in Orange County now—or wait until 2027?
The truth? There’s no perfect market—and waiting for the “perfect” time could mean waiting for something that never comes.
If rates drop, more buyers could return.
More buyers = more competition. 📈
Right now, some buyers have something they haven’t had much of in recent years: negotiating power.
So instead of asking, “Will prices be lower in 2027?”
Ask: “Does buying today make financial sense for ME?”
Consider:
✔️ Your down payment
✔️ Monthly payment
✔️ Home price
✔️ Negotiating opportunities
✔️ Your long-term plans
The best time to buy isn’t necessarily when the market is perfect—it’s when the home, payment, and numbers make sense for your situation.

Homes for lease in Woodbridge Irvine at under $4,000 are getting harder to find — this one just hit the market at $3,750.

13 Eastmont #41. Three bedrooms, one full bath plus a downstairs powder room, 1,121 sq ft in The Glen. Living room with laminate flooring and a fireplace, bright kitchen with a breakfast nook overlooking the rear yard, stainless refrigerator included. All three bedrooms upstairs, brand new carpet going in on the stairs and every bedroom. Interior laundry room with real storage, dryer included. Private rear yard with its own storage room, two reserved covered parking spaces, plus street parking. Central A/C throughout.

Attendance area is Eastshore Elementary, Lakeside Middle, Woodbridge High, and the lease includes full Woodbridge association access — pools, parks, and North Lake within walking distance.

That works out to about $3.35 per square foot. For a Woodbridge townhome with interior laundry, central air, two covered spaces, and a private yard, that number does not sit on the market long. Interior laundry and covered parking are the two features that separate leases that go in a week from leases that sit a month in this village.

DM "LEASE" to schedule a showing.

Homes for lease in Woodbridge Irvine don't sit — 110 Firwood is officially leased.

4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,044 sq ft. End unit on a cul-de-sac with a bedroom and full bath on the main floor. Laminate flooring through the living, dining, and bedrooms. Backyard on a 4,324 sq ft lot with mature fruit trees. Eastshore Elementary, Lakeside Middle, the Firwood pool, and North Lake tennis courts are all within walking distance, and the lease includes full Woodbridge association access — two lakes with sand beach lagoons, 20 pools, and 20+ tennis courts.

Here's what most Woodbridge owners underestimate. Price per square foot is not what drives a lease in this village. A main-floor bedroom and full bath, updated flooring, and a corner-lot yard move a home faster than 200 extra square feet ever will. Original 1979 and 1980 plans that never got a downstairs bedroom added compete on price. The ones that have it compete on terms.

If you own a Woodbridge home and you're weighing lease income against selling into this market, the math is different for every floor plan on your street. Know which one you have before you pick.

DM "LEASE" for a Woodbridge lease-vs-list breakdown on your specific floor plan.

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.
The headlines move fast — the data doesn’t always back them up. Want the real numbers for your neighborhood? Send me a DM and let’s talk.

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!
