Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Newport Coast & Laguna Beach Home Values
Fall 2026 market update from The Gomez | Align Group at Douglas Elliman
Coastal Orange County is not one market. Two homes the same size can be worth millions apart depending on the view, the street and how close they sit to the sand. Here is where prices stand in the areas we serve, as of fall 2026.
Home Values by Area
Newport Beach: single-family homes have sold at a median of about $3.3 million over the past year, with roughly 750 homes changing hands. Bayfront, Peninsula and Balboa Island homes sell well above that, while Eastbluff, Dover Shores and Newport Heights often come in lower.
Corona del Mar: a typical single-family home runs about $4.1 to $4.3 million. Homes south of Coast Highway have closed near $4.9 million at the median, compared with about $3.4 million north of it.
Newport Coast: the median sale over the past year was about $5.5 million, and ocean-view homes in Pelican Crest, Crystal Cove and Pelican Hill regularly sell for $10 million or more.
Laguna Beach: the median sale was about $3.35 million over the 90 days through late October, up roughly 13% from a year earlier.
These are area-wide numbers. Your home's value depends on the details below, so use them as a starting point, not a price.
What We Look at That Online Estimates Miss
Views: ocean, harbor, whitewater, canyon or city lights, and whether a neighbor could build in front of them.
Location on the street: bay or ocean frontage, corner lots, distance to the beach and busy roads.
Updates: kitchens, baths, roofs, windows, and permitted additions or ADUs.
Community costs: HOA dues, Mello-Roos and gate access, which buyers weigh closely in Newport Coast.
Off-market and pending sales: recent deals that have not shown up on the big real estate sites yet.
What Happens After You Request a Valuation
You will see an instant estimate right away. Then Cesar Gomez or Sahar Moghadam will review recent sales near you and follow up with a detailed pricing analysis. If you are thinking about selling, we can walk the home with you and suggest which updates are worth doing before you list and which are not.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the home valuation really free?
Yes. There is no cost and no obligation to list with us.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
It is a good starting point, but for coastal homes it can be off by 10% or more. Our pricing analysis uses hand-picked comparable sales, so it is much closer to what a buyer will pay.
Do you need to see my home?
Not for a first estimate. A short walkthrough helps us account for views, upgrades and condition if you want a precise number.
