Selling a Home in Newport Coast
What Newport Coast sellers face now: prices, pace and sale-to-list from the MLS, how homes are priced, and the disclosures and costs of selling.
The Newport Coast Market Sellers Face Now
In the 12 months to October 30, 2026, 111 Newport Coast homes sold at a median price of $6,200,000, up 13.3 percent on the 12 months before, at a median $1,613 a square foot. The typical home went under contract in 27 days and sold at 94.6 percent of its original list price; only 5 percent sold above it, down from 12 percent a year earlier, and 53 percent of buyers paid cash. On October 30, 2026 there were 56 homes listed, 44 of them active, about 4.8 months of supply. Buyers here negotiate: Newport Coast’s 94.6 percent sale-to-list was the lowest of any Orange County city on our market pages with more than 20 sales in the year, against 98.6 percent for the county.
The 90-day median through October 23, 2026 was $4,450,000, below the 12-month figure, a reminder that in a market of about 110 sales a year the median moves with the mix of homes that close in a given quarter. Single-family homes sold for a median $9,025,000 and condos and townhomes for $2,110,000. The month-by-month record is on the Newport Coast housing market page.
How Newport Coast Homes Are Priced
Newport Coast is a set of villages, and each one is its own market. In the 12 months to October 30, 2026, Crystal Cove recorded 23 closings at a median $12,000,000, Pelican Crest 11 at $20,000,000 and the Crystal Cove Estate Collection seven at $31,500,000, while Ziani’s townhomes recorded seven at $1,900,000. Within a village, the view, the lot position and the year a home was last rebuilt or remodeled move the price most.
Because so few homes sell in each village, pricing takes judgment as well as data. We price from the closings in your village and the neighboring ones, then adjust for view corridor and condition. A free home valuation gives you a starting figure, and our Newport Coast guide describes each village.
What Newport Coast Buyers Will Ask About
Fire zone and insurance. Of the homes for sale in Newport Coast on October 30, 2026, our city page counted 40 of 55 in a state Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, none inside FEMA’s Special Flood Hazard Area and 14 in an earthquake-induced landslide zone. Buyers will price in the cost of insuring the home, so share your current policy and premium, and any fire-hardening work you have done, early.
Two associations. Many Newport Coast homes pay dues to a master association and to their own village association. Gather both sets of governing documents, both budgets and any special assessments before you list, and read the property tax bill for assessments beyond the base levy, which buyers will see too.
Gated showings. In a guard-gated village, every showing needs gate access. Arrange how agents and buyers will be cleared before the home goes live, so no showing is lost at the gate.

The Costs of Selling in Newport Coast
By local custom the seller pays the documentary transfer tax, $0.55 per $500 of value, or $1.10 per $1,000: $6,820 on a $6,200,000 sale. The $1.10 per $1,000 is split between the County and the City of Newport Beach, which includes Newport Coast, with nothing added on top. The larger items are your loan payoff and the commission you negotiate, plus escrow, title insurance, the natural hazard report and the association’s transfer and document fees. Our seller net proceeds calculator estimates what you keep.
