*As the name implies, Days on Market is the number of days that the home has been on the market. This number is determined by adding up the number of days that exist between the date that the home was listed to the current date, which in this case is December 3, 2009.

Summary: According to the index numbers, all South Orange County markets for detached houses are buyers’ markets. In general, the health of the Central Orange County housing market has increased since July 19th; however, the index number still show South Orange County housing is in a weaker position than the North or Central areas.

The hard-hit area of Ladera Ranch saw the biggest improvement. The detached houses in the  55+ community of Laguna Woods is the weakest housing market in South Orange County. But only about 5% of these homes are detached, so this number is not that telling.

Note: The Altos Market Action Index shows the balance between potential buyers and sellers, in other words, the balance between supply and demand. Above 30 is a sellers’ market; below 30 is a buyers’ market.

Also, these Altos Research numbers are for detached houses only (condos are not included). For this reason, I have included numbers that show the percentage of homes in each city that are detached houses. The Redfin numbers are for both houses and condos.

Following are some recent Altos Research and Redfin numbers for the South Orange County homes that are under $700,000. You can pick out the city of interest to you and see what is happening in that market. You can also do some compare and contrast with other cities.
