Sales Volume
No homes closed in Big Canyon in October 2026, too few for a reliable monthly median, so this update leans on the three months from August through October. Over those three months, 6 homes sold at a median price of $4,895,000.
Over the three months, the typical home sold in 74 days at 100.0% of its final asking price. Homes were selling at or above asking, a sign of competition for the best listings. Many sellers cut their price before selling: measured against the original asking price, the typical home sold at 94.2%.
For context, the median across all of Newport Beach was $4,112,500 in October, so Big Canyon ran 19% above the city as a whole.
What It Means
For buyers. You have leverage. Homes are taking longer to sell and closing below asking, so there is room to negotiate on price, credits and terms, especially on homes that have sat.
For sellers. Price from the recent sales, not the hoped-for number. Homes that start too high tend to sit and sell for less after price cuts.

An illustration only, not an offer of credit or a loan estimate. It assumes the 7.24% average 30-year fixed rate from the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for October 29, 2026; jumbo loans, points, credit and down payment change the actual rate and APR. Property tax and insurance are estimates, and HOA dues and Mello-Roos taxes are not included. Many lenders allow a higher share of income for housing, and a larger down payment lowers the income needed.
