Westminster Housing Market Snapshot
- Median sale price around $1,188,000 in January, up year over year.
- Homes selling in about a month on average.
- Roughly 49 active listings across the city.
The Westminster housing market remains competitive early this spring. Recent data show a median sale price near $1,188,000 in January, marking a notable increase from a year ago. Homes are typically going under contract in about 31 days, faster than last year, though total closed sales were slightly lower year over year.
Active inventory is hovering around the high 40s, giving buyers limited but steady options. Well-priced properties continue to draw strong interest, especially updated single-family homes.
What’s for Sale Now
Current listings span a wide range:
- Single-family homes around $950,000 to $1,250,000.
- Townhomes in the mid-$700,000s.
- Occasional lower-priced manufactured or smaller properties under $200,000.
Move-in-ready four- and five-bedroom homes near established neighborhoods remain among the higher-priced offerings, while attached homes provide a comparatively lower entry point.
Development Watch
The long-planned transformation of Westminster Mall continues to move forward, with demolition expected as part of a mixed-use redevelopment. Plans call for approximately 2,250 residential units, along with retail and a hotel component. If delivered as proposed, the project would significantly expand local housing supply over time and reshape a major commercial corridor.
For now, resale inventory remains the primary source of available housing, keeping upward pressure on prices in desirable pockets.
Outlook
With prices elevated and marketing times relatively short, Westminster continues to reflect broader Orange County trends: constrained supply, steady demand, and selective buyer competition. Sellers appear to retain leverage, though buyers are watching affordability closely as mortgage costs fluctuate.
