Aliso Niguel homes: 70 less days to sell

Posted on by Listify Me

The housing market in Aliso Viejo sped up 70 days vs. a year ago.

Every two weeks, Steve Thomas of ReportsOnHousing.com publishes a study of the supply of local homes for sale. Here’s what the latest report — as of April 13 — details about Aliso Viejo …



  • 133 residences listed in brokers’ MLS system with 125 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 1.06 months vs. 1.22 months found two weeks earlier vs. 3.56 months seen a year earlier. Countywide, latest market time was 2.02 months vs. 3.90 months a year ago.
  • So, homes in this community sell — in theory — in 47% less time than the countywide pace.
  • Of the homes listed for sale in this community, 55 were either foreclosures being resold or short sales, where sellers owe more than the home’s value. So distressed properties were 43.7% of supply of homes for sale vs. 25.2% countywide.
  • Homes for sale in Aliso Viejo represent 1.9% of Orange County inventory — and 3.4% of all the distressed homes listed for sale in Orange County. New escrows here are 3.5% of all Orange County’s new pending sales.

Compare these trends to countywide patterns:

  • Cities with highest level of distressed properties among their listings? Portola Hills was tops — 66.7% — followed by Stanton at 65.5% of listings and Anaheim at 54.4% of listings.
  • Fewest? Seal Beach was tops — 1.7% — followed by Corona Del Mar at 2.6% of listings and Laguna Beach at 7.3% of listings.
