34% of Tustin listings are distressed homes

Real estate for sale in Tustin looks brighter by one set of statistics.

Every two weeks, Orange County broker Steve Thomas publishes a report on the supply of local homes for sale. Here’s what the latest report — as of September 1 — has to say about Tustin …


 O.C. real estate news


  • 340 residences listed in brokers’ MLS system with 110 new deals opening in the past 30 days.
  • By Thomas’s math, this community has a “market time” (months in would take to sell all inventory at current pace of new escrows) of 3.09 months vs. 3.49 months found two weeks earlier vs. 4.43 months seen a year earlier. Countywide, latest market time was 3.53 months vs. 4.05 months a year ago.
  • So, homes in this community sell — in theory — in 12% less time than the countywide pace.
  • Of the homes listed for sale in this community, 116 were either foreclosures being resold or short sales, where sellers owe more than the home’s value. So distressed properties were 34.1% of supply of homes for sale vs. 33.8% countywide.
  • Homes for sale in Tustin represent 3.2% of Orange County inventory — and 3.2% of all the distressed homes listed for sale in Orange County. New escrows here are 3.6% of all Orange County’s new pending sales.

Compare these trends to countywide patterns:

  • Cities with highest level of distressed properties among their listings? Anaheim was tops — 61.1% — followed by Buena Park at 58.3% of listings and Rancho Santa Marg. at 57.8% of listings.
  • Fewest? Corona Del Mar was tops — 3.8% — followed by Seal Beach at 4.5% of listings and Villa Park at 6.7% of listings.
