Price Your Irvine, CA Home for Sale in October 2026

By Ashley Kay

Irvine, CA

Choosing an asking price starts with evidence relevant to your home, not the highest nearby listing. I'll help you weigh completed sales against competing listings without confusing their different meanings.

For Irvine single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the September 2026 median list price of active listings was $1,630,000. The median sold price for September 2026 sold listings was $1,447,500. The median estimated property value was $1,546,200, based on a valuation model rather than a formal appraisal. The average list-to-sale price ratio for sold listings was 97.46%.

Asking prices and sale prices describe listed and sold groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount. A model estimate offers another reference, but it does not establish what a buyer will pay for your home. My recommendation is to anchor your price in similar completed sales and examine competing asking prices separately.

Prepare a list of improvements and known repair needs so we can review your home's condition accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, focusing on differences in size, condition and features. Decide how we will reassess the asking price using relevant sales and feedback after your home is listed.
