Anyone considering a move to Orange, California will want to have a good understanding of the local real estate market. The city of Orange is located in the heart of Orange County and is known for its quaint small-town feel.

The Multiple Listing Service, (MLS), divides the city of Orange up into four areas and these are:
♦ Orange & Garden Grove, E of Harbor, N of 22 F
♦ Orange, Orange Park Acres E of 55
♦ Riverbend, and
♦ Old Towne Orange.

Orange is unusual in this region because many of the homes in its Old Town District were built before 1920. While many other cities in the region demolished such houses in the 1960s, Orange decided to preserve them.

Despite its size, (only 139,322 people live there according to the 2020 census), Orange is home to several major employers, including Chapman University and St. Joseph Hospital, and is a desirable place to live for families and young professionals alike.

Over the past few years, home prices in Orange, like in the rest of Orange County, California, have been on the rise.

For buyers, this means that it's important to act fast when you find a home you like. With homes selling quickly and prices continuing to inch upwards, you'll need to be prepared to make an offer as soon as you find a property that meets your needs.

Sellers, on the other hand, can take advantage of these trends by potentially commanding a higher price for their home than they would have just a few years ago.
