Is Newport Beach a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Quick read
Redfin rates Newport Beach 43 out of 100 on its Compete Score, “somewhat competitive.” The average sale is about 3 percent below list and pendings take around 69 days. Use months of supply by price band to refine this.
Metrics that matter
Watch sale to list price 97.5 percent, DOM 77, and closed sales 94 for September 2025. Track these by price tier for a better read.
How to position yourself
Buyers, pair local underwriting with clean terms. Sellers, price against the best actives and launch when competing supply is thin.
FAQ
Can it be both at once
Yes, some tiers lean seller while others give buyers leverage.
What about seasonality
Spring and early summer often feel tighter. Off season can bring better terms.
