Following are some housing market numbers for Irvine. The 92603, 92604 and 92614 ZIPs are particularly interesting.

Note that the 92603 July asking price of $582 per square foot seems particularly unrealistic considering that the July selling price for the 92603 ZIP was $374 per square foot. The 92603 ZIP includes some of the most expensive homes in Irvine, including Irvine’s most expensive neighborhood, Shady Canyon. Other neighborhoods in Irvine’s 92603 include Quail Hill, Turtle Rock, and Turtle Ridge.

You might also want to pay special attention to the Woodbridge ZIPs: 92604 and 92614. As reported in the The Orange County Register, the increase in the percentage of Woodbridge foreclosures are some of the  highest in Orange County, especially in the 92604 ZIP. The 92604 ZIP includes the upper part of the Woodbridge neighborhood as well as the  El Camino neighborhood (See the map.)

According to DataQuick, Irvine’s July 2009 housing numbers by ZIP are as follows: ZIP/Median Selling Price/% change in price from previous month/# of homes sold/% change in number sold from previous month (DQNews).

Tomorrow: Irvine detached and condo stats

According to an article in The Orange County Register by Matthew Padilla, the percentage of foreclosures increased 50% or more in the following Orange County ZIP codes: 90740 (Seal Beach), 92823 (Brea), 92604 (Irvine-Woodbridge), 92625 (Corona del Mar), 92651 (Laguna Beach), 92629 (Dana Point), 92679 (Trabuco Canyon).

However, this does not mean that these ZIPs have the highest number of foreclosures when compared to the number of homes in each of these Orange County ZIPS–only that they are seeing the biggest increase in the number of foreclosure when compared to the same period one year ago.

According to Trulia, the percentage of home on the market in each of these ZIPs that are distressed sales is as shown below. Trulia defines distressed as “homes in the pre-foreclosure, auction, or bank-owned stages of the foreclosure process.”

• Median sold price: $710,000 (however, the average list price is $406,381)
• 334 new and resell homes listed

While they did not have as large a percentage increase as the ZIPs listed above, the following ZIPS also had an increase in the percentage of foreclosures (1%-49%):

• 90623 (La Palma)
• 92649 (Huntington Beach)
• 92886 (Yorba Linda)
• 92614 (Irvine, Woodbridge)
• 92692 (Mission Viejo)
• 92673 (San Clemente)
• 92672 (San Clemente)

In all  other Orange County ZIPs (those not listed in this post), the percentage of foreclosures decreased when compared to a year ago (June 2008). Again, this does not mean that these ZIPs had the smallest percentage of foreclosure–only the smallest increase from the previous year.

Note: Different groups use different inputs and, therefore, come up with different percentages. For example, in June, Steve Thomas of Altera stated that Irvine had 29.6% distressed homes on the market. However, Trulia numbers at that time showed that Irvine had 41% distressed homes on the market.

Tomorrow: a look at the O.C. ZIPs in which the increase in foreclosures decreased by 60% or more from the previous year. Hint: They are mostly at the lower-end of the market.
