By Jaret Richards | Coastal Orange County Real Estate Insights

As we close out 2025, the coastal real estate markets of Newport Beach, Newport Coast, and Corona Del Mar are showing signs of tight inventory, mild pricing adjustments, and continued buyer interest.

🧠 Sellers:

• You’re still in a good position — but overpriced listings are sitting.

• Inventory is low, but buyers are value-conscious.

💸 Buyers:

• Condos in Newport Coast and CDM are seeing notable markdowns.

• Single-family home demand is steady, but days on market give you leverage in negotiation.

💼 Investors:

• With median rents ranging from $4,000 to $16,000+, there are solid income opportunities in both condo and SFR markets.

The end of 2025 shows all three markets—Newport Beach, Newport Coast, and Corona Del Mar—remaining competitive, but not overheated. Pricing smartly and acting on opportunity will be key to success in early 2026.
