Tustin
Housing Market
Tustin offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern living.
Median Value
$1.15M – $1.25M
Steady appreciation is anchored by limited inventory and high demand for turnkey homes in master-planned communities.
Days to Pending
18 – 24 Days
Properties priced competitively within the $1M-$1.3M bracket often receive multiple offers during their first weekend on the market.
Market Inventory
45 – 55 Listings
Current inventory remains constrained, as many homeowners are hesitant to list due to their existing low-rate mortgage positions.
The Market Dynamic
As of October 2026, the Tustin real estate market remains remarkably resilient despite ongoing interest rate fluctuations. Local demand continues to outpace supply, driven by the desirability of Tustin Legacy and the character-rich neighborhoods surrounding Old Town.
Tustin is currently a firm seller's market characterized by low inventory and high buyer motivation. While price growth is moderating due to interest rate pressures, the fundamental shortage of housing keeps the market tilted in favor of those selling their homes.
For Buyers
Buyers should be prepared for a competitive environment where speed is essential. Having a fully underwritten pre-approval is mandatory to remain relevant in this fast-moving market.
For Sellers
Sellers have the upper hand provided their properties are impeccably staged and priced correctly from day one. Overpriced homes are sitting longer, so precision in pricing is vital to capturing maximum interest.
What's Moving in Tustin
The core velocity of the local market is concentrated in the $950K – $1.3M range — where demand is most active and well-priced properties move quickly.
