What It Means

For buyers. The market is balanced: the best homes still sell quickly, while others leave room to negotiate. Compare each home to the most recent sales nearby before you offer.

For sellers. Pricing close to the recent sales and preparing the home well is what separates a quick sale from a long one in a balanced market.

How Much Income Do You Need to Buy a Home in Newport Coast?

At Newport Coast’s October 2026 median of $3,625,000, a buyer putting 20% down would need a household income of about $85,688 a month, or $1,028,255 a year, to keep housing costs near 28% of gross income, the traditional lending guideline.

Buying at the median: a monthly estimate
Purchase price$3,625,000
Down payment (20%)$725,000
Loan amount$2,900,000
Principal and interest (7.24%, 30-year fixed)$19,763

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.

Closed sales of single-family homes, condos and townhomes recorded in CRMLS, as of 2026-11-13. Sale-to-list compares each sale price with the final asking price. Figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
