In this episode of the Five Minute Real Estate Fix, Chase from the Whitney team and First Team Real Estate discusses the current state of the Orange County housing market as of October 2025. Key points include the stabilization of home prices, a significant drop in mortgage rates, and an high inventory of new homes. Chase highlights the importance of acting promptly as the market is balanced favoring buyers temporarily, but that could change with increased buyer competition. Practical advice is given on making financially sound purchasing decisions, negotiating deals on properties that have been listed for over 30 days, and taking advantage of creative financing options such as family loans and builder rate buy-downs.
