Market Intelligence

How does 8 Silverwood fit among the alternatives I may be considering, what is happening in the surrounding market, and what does that mean for this purchase? This is decision support, not an appraisal, CMA conclusion, automated valuation, or argument that 8 Silverwood is superior. We are not selling superiority. We are providing clarity. The buyer should be able to examine the information and draw their own conclusions.

01 · THE BUYER DECISION SET

See what buyers are comparing

Buyers rarely evaluate a home in isolation. They compare price, size, condition, monthly carrying costs, outdoor space, parking, location, and the tradeoffs each property presents.

02 · POSITION IN THE SET

Where 8 Silverwood fits

The comparison set shows the facts. This section explains why some of those differences may matter in everyday ownership and in the purchase decision.

PRICE POSITION

At $810,000, 8 Silverwood sits below some same-size alternatives in the current comparison set, creating a different balance between purchase price, condition, recurring ownership costs, and the features a buyer values most.

CONDITION TRADEOFF

8 Silverwood is refreshed rather than fully remodeled. For some buyers, that may mean entering below a more extensively renovated alternative while still starting with newly installed flooring and newer interior paint.

EVERYDAY UTILITY

The attached two-car garage and private patio are more than checklist features. They affect parking convenience, storage, outdoor use, and how the home functions day to day.

LAYOUT & SEPARATION

With the living, dining, and kitchen areas on the main level and both bedrooms upstairs, the two-story layout creates separation between entertaining space and sleeping space within a compact footprint.

OWNERSHIP COST PERSPECTIVE

HOA and community costs are part of the purchase decision, not an afterthought. Buyers should weigh the purchase price together with recurring ownership costs and what those associations support.

Every property in the comparison set asks the buyer to make a different tradeoff. The goal here is to make those tradeoffs easier to understand.

03 · MARKET CONTEXT

What's happening in Irvine

A focused look at Irvine market conditions, with additional context from the Orange County attached-home segment and the price range most relevant to 8 Silverwood. Together, these figures help show the pace, supply, demand, and negotiating environment surrounding this purchase.

ACTIVE INVENTORY

748

active listings · Irvine overall

WHAT IT MEANS

Irvine buyers currently have a broader pool of available homes to evaluate. Inventory alone does not determine negotiating strength, but greater selection gives buyers more alternatives to compare before committing to a property.

PENDING DEMAND

144

pending sales · Irvine overall

WHAT IT MEANS

Pending demand reflects homes being absorbed by buyers. Viewed together with inventory, it helps show how quickly the available supply is moving rather than looking at listing count by itself.

EXPECTED MARKET TIME

156 DAYS

Irvine overall

143 days one year ago

WHAT IT MEANS

Irvine's current market pace is slower than it was a year ago. A longer expected market time generally creates more room for buyers to evaluate alternatives and negotiate selectively, although individual properties can move much faster.

ATTACHED-HOME PRICE BAND

101 DAYS

Orange County attached homes · $750K–$1M

527 active · 157 pending

WHAT IT MEANS

This price band is closer to 8 Silverwood's competitive universe than the countywide housing market as a whole. Its 101-day expected market time provides useful context for the pace of attached homes in the range surrounding Silverwood's $810,000 asking price.

BUYER NEGOTIATING ENVIRONMENT

52%

of August Orange County sales closed below the last list price

18% at list · 30% above list

WHAT IT MEANS

The market is offering buyers more negotiating opportunities, but the results are not uniform. Nearly half of August sales still closed at or above the last asking price, reinforcing that condition, pricing, location, and buyer competition continue to matter property by property.

ATTACHED-HOME / CONDO CONDITIONS

115 DAYS

Orange County attached-home expected market time

Supply +17% year over year · Demand −6% year over year · 93 days last year

WHAT IT MEANS

The attached-home market is currently moving more slowly than the detached-home market. That creates more room for buyer evaluation, while individual attached homes can still move faster when pricing, condition, and demand align.

SOURCE & DATA NOTE

Market statistics shown in this section are derived from the September 14, 2026 Orange County Housing Report published by Reports on Housing / Steven Thomas. Irvine figures reflect the overall Irvine market. Attached-home and condo figures reflect Orange County attached-home segments and, where noted, the $750,000–$1,000,000 attached-home price range. Data is provided for general market context only and is not an appraisal, valuation, prediction, or guarantee of future performance. Market conditions can change quickly, and buyers should independently verify any figure that is material to their purchase decision.
