O.C. homes a hard sell, ZIP by ZIP

November 27th, 2009, 4:00 pm · Post a Comment · posted by Jon Lansner

It takes discounts to sell homes. So say my Zippy rankings of neighborhood housing strength …

  • Looking at the third quarter results, I spied the results for San Juan Capistrano 92675. It owned the best pricing performance with annualized gains of 26 percent. That upturn came at a price, though: San Juan Capo had the eighth-worst sales momentum — with home purchases down 17 percent.
  • It’s a good guess that bargains were hard to find around this part of the county. And also likely explains San Juan Capo’s overall Zippy ranking of a below-average 56th spot out of the 83 ZIP codes tracked by this math.
  • Conversely, Newport Coast 92657 had the top sales momentum in the third quarter, an increase of 97 percent vs. a year earlier. How’d that happen? You can bet that the eighth-worst pricing climate (prices down 19 percent in a year) helped move homes in this community where often a fabulous Pacific view is part of the package.

Here’s last quarter’s Orange County ZIPs, as ranked by Zippy math, and their respective rankings (1 best; 83 worst) in terms of pricing and sales momentum and foreclosure frequency.
