Selling a Home in Corona del Mar
What Corona del Mar sellers face now: prices, pace and sale-to-list from the MLS, how homes are priced, and the disclosures and costs of selling.
The Corona del Mar Market Sellers Face Now
In the 12 months to October 30, 2026, 242 Corona del Mar homes sold at a median price of $4,162,500, up 4.1 percent on the 12 months before, at a median $2,005 a square foot. The typical home went under contract in 36 days, against 27 a year earlier, and sold at 96.4 percent of its original list price; 10 percent sold above it, and 54 percent of buyers paid cash. On October 30, 2026 there were 85 homes listed, 68 of them active, about 3.4 months of supply. Buyers are taking longer to commit than a year ago, so a well-prepared, well-priced listing stands out.
Corona del Mar is part of the City of Newport Beach, but the MLS reports it separately, and these figures cover Corona del Mar alone. Single-family homes sold for a median $6,125,000 and condos and townhomes for $3,265,000. The month-by-month record is on the Corona del Mar housing market page.
How Corona del Mar Homes Are Priced
Coast Highway divides the market. In the 12 months to October 30, 2026, the MLS tract “Corona del Mar South of PCH”, which takes in much of the village, recorded 62 closings at a median $4,824,500, and the tract “Corona del Mar North of PCH” 65 at $3,400,000; Irvine Terrace, Shore Cliffs and Cameo Shores are filed as their own tracts. On the hillside and the bluffs, the Harbor View Hills 2 tract recorded nine closings at a median $5,350,000 and Cameo Shores seven at $8,700,000.
In the village, the lot often sets the price: many lots carry a front home and a second unit behind it, which sell together or as separate condos, and an older home on a full lot is often valued for the land. Ocean and harbor views, the walk to the beach and the condition of both units move the number from there. Each community page lists its recent closings, and a free home valuation gives you a starting figure from those sales.
What Corona del Mar Buyers Will Ask About
Hazard zones. California sellers disclose state fire, FEMA flood and seismic hazard zones. Of the homes for sale in Corona del Mar on October 30, 2026, our city page counted 4 in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, none inside FEMA’s Special Flood Hazard Area and 8 in an earthquake-induced landslide zone. Order the natural hazard disclosure report before you list.
Two-unit lots. If your lot carries a second unit, buyers will ask how it is held (one parcel or two condos), whether both units are permitted, and what each rents for. Gather the permits, any condominium documents and leases before the home goes live.
Associations. Cameo Shores and the Harbor View tracts have associations, and so do some condo buildings, though many Corona del Mar condos and townhomes list none. If yours has one, collect the governing documents, budget and any special assessments early, so they reach buyers with the disclosures.
