Why June Is a Smart Time to List Your Coastal Orange County Home

If you're considering selling your home in Dana Point, Laguna Beach, or another beautiful part of Coastal Orange County, June may be the moment you've been waiting for. This month blends ideal weather, buyer urgency, and strong market performance—a trio that creates optimal selling conditions.

Market Timing That Pays Off

June Delivers Higher Sale Prices

According to ATTOM's 2025 analysis, homes sold in June achieved a seller premium of 12.4%, making it one of the top months for maximizing sale price. 

Late May Listings Yield Premiums

A Zillow analysis of 2024 home sales found that homes listed in the second half of May sold for 1.6% more, translating to approximately $5,600 more on a typical U.S. home.

Seasonal Advantages for Sellers

Motivated Buyers on the Move

Listing in June means tapping into a buyer pool that's serious and ready to act. Many families aim to relocate before the next school year begins, making timing critical.

Longer Days, More Showings

With more daylight hours, there's more flexibility for open houses and private showings, increasing exposure for your listing.

Natural Curb Appeal

Coastal homes show their best side in summer—lush landscaping, ocean breezes, and warm sunsets all contribute to a memorable first impression.

Coastal Lifestyle, Fully Realized

Let Buyers Feel the Experience

In the summer, properties in areas like Laguna Beach and Dana Point offer a lifestyle that buyers can see and feel. Ocean views, nearby trails, and outdoor living spaces come alive, helping buyers emotionally connect with the experience of living coastal.

Stay Ahead in a Competitive Market

Beat the Rush

While more sellers are entering the market nationwide, inventory in high-demand coastal zones remains limited. Listing in June gives your home a head start before late summer competition picks up—and in these premium areas, timing can impact your final sale price.
