If you own a home in Mission Viejo, this report shows what homes here actually sold for over the last 12 months, and whether prices are rising or falling. I'm Darren Shepherd, a Mission Viejo real estate agent and team leader of The Darren Shepherd Team at Compass California, Inc., and I keep this report as the citywide baseline behind our neighborhood guides.

The numbers are closed sales from CRMLS, the regional multiple listing service. I count every residential sale whose CRMLS City field is Mission Viejo and that closed in the last 12 months: single-family homes, condos and townhomes, each counted once. Rancho Mission Viejo and Ladera Ranch are separate cities in CRMLS, so their sales are not in these numbers. Every figure is a median and carries its window and sale count. I refresh the report every month. For the city's tracts and communities, see our Mission Viejo neighborhood pages.

What this guide does not cover: current listings (this report uses closed sales only), rents, buying a home, individual addresses, and tax or legal advice about a sale. A CPA can answer tax questions.

What have Mission Viejo homes sold for over the last 12 months?

$1,215,000 was the median sale price for a Mission Viejo home over the last 12 months, across 958 closed sales at a median of $649 per square foot and 17 days on market (CRMLS, closed Oct 19, 2025 to Oct 18, 2026, n=958).

• Middle half of sales (25th to 75th percentile): $890,000 to $1,482,500.
• Price range: $325,000 to $5,850,000.
• Sale price vs final list price: median 99.5%, with 456 of 958 at or above list. Against the original list price, the median was 98.5%, so price cuts show up there.
• Sold within 30 days on market: 629 of 958.
• Median home size: 1,694 square feet.

The citywide median mixes condos at $737,000 with single-family homes at $1,330,000, so start from your home type below, not from the city figure.

Are Mission Viejo home prices up or down?

4.3% higher on the median: Mission Viejo sales from January 1 to October 18, 2026 closed at a median of $1,225,000, against $1,175,000 for the same dates in 2025 (CRMLS, closed Jan 1 to Oct 18 of each year; n=786 in 2026, n=771 in 2025). Comparing the same months of each year is the fair test, because the season changes how fast homes sell.

• All homes, same dates each year: median $1,175,000 to $1,225,000 (+4.3%); $645 to $651 per square foot (+1.0%).
• Single-family homes only, same dates: median $1,282,500 to $1,341,150 (+4.6%); $655 to $675 per square foot (+3.0%); n=604 and n=606.
• Condos only, same dates: median $740,000 to $735,000 (-0.7%); $622 to $606 per square foot (-2.6%); n=141 and n=149.

Inside the 12-month window (CRMLS, closed Oct 19, 2025 to Oct 18, 2026), here is each 3-month stretch:

• Oct 19, 2025 to Jan 18, 2026: 206 sales, median $1,172,000, $642 per square foot, 28 days on market, 98.8% of list price.
• Jan 19, 2026 to Apr 18, 2026: 244 sales, median $1,182,500, $649 per square foot, 12 days on market, 100.0% of list price.
• Apr 19, 2026 to Jul 18, 2026: 274 sales, median $1,250,000, $659 per square foot, 14 days on market, 100.0% of list price.
• Jul 19, 2026 to Oct 18, 2026: 234 sales, median $1,217,500, $643 per square foot, 17 days on market, 99.3% of list price.

The last 6 months (Apr 19, 2026 to Oct 18, 2026, n=508) closed at a median of $1,235,000, against $1,180,000 in the 6 months before (n=450). Part of that gap is mix: the homes sold in the last 6 months had a median of 1,786 square feet, against 1,618, so price per square foot moved less ($646 to $653). The most recent 3 months closed below the 3 months before ($1,217,500 vs $1,250,000) and took longer to sell (17 vs 14 days).

What do single-family homes, condos and townhomes sell for in Mission Viejo?

$1,330,000 was the median for a Mission Viejo single-family home over the last 12 months, against $737,000 for a condo and $795,000 for a townhome (CRMLS, closed Oct 19, 2025 to Oct 18, 2026).

• Single-family homes: 740 sales, median $1,330,000, $674 per square foot, 16 days on market, 99.5% of list price, median 1,940 square feet.
• Condos: 180 sales, median $737,000, $606 per square foot, 19.5 days on market, 99.4% of list price, median 1,224 square feet.
• Townhomes: 38 sales, median $795,000, $612 per square foot, 23 days on market, 99.6% of list price, median 1,326 square feet.

Single-family homes by bedroom count, same source and window:

• 2 bedrooms: 88 sales, median $883,500, $666 per square foot, 23 days on market.
• 3 bedrooms: 260 sales, median $1,200,000, $721 per square foot, 14.5 days on market.
• 4 bedrooms: 281 sales, median $1,450,000, $666 per square foot, 14 days on market.
• 5 bedrooms: 100 sales, median $1,777,500, $592 per square foot, 17 days on market.
• 6 bedrooms: 8 sales, median $1,727,500, $604 per square foot, 45.5 days on market.
• 1 or 7 bedrooms: 3 sales combined (too few for a median).

From 3 to 5 bedrooms, price per square foot falls as single-family homes get bigger, so a larger home sells for more in total but less per foot. A ratio of medians is a hint, not a measurement of any one home.

Does my Mission Viejo zipcode change the price?

$1,280,000 in 92691 and $1,130,000 in 92692 were the 12-month medians for Mission Viejo's 2 zipcodes (CRMLS, closed Oct 19, 2025 to Oct 18, 2026; n=433 and n=525).

• 92691: 433 sales, median $1,280,000, $665 per square foot, 15 days on market; single-family only: 339 sales, median $1,355,000.
• 92692: 525 sales, median $1,130,000, $641 per square foot, 19 days on market; single-family only: 401 sales, median $1,295,000.

Home mix is part of the gap: in 92692, 124 of 525 sales were condos or townhomes, against 94 of 433 in 92691. Single-family to single-family, the medians were $60,000 apart, against $150,000 for all homes. A zipcode is a mail route, not a neighborhood, so your tract tells you more.

How do I turn the citywide numbers into a price for my home?

3 steps take you from the city figures above to a list price for one address: narrow the comparison, adjust for your home, and put the result in writing.

1. Narrow it to your home type and tract. Start with recent closed sales of the same home type, in your tract or the closest one, with a similar size and bedroom count. Our Mission Viejo home prices guide by neighborhood has tract-level figures. Our Casta del Sol home values guide and Barcelona North price guide show how far one community can sit from the city median.
2. Adjust for the differences. Condition and updates, lot, view, lake membership, HOA dues and the street itself, one item at a time.
3. Get a written comparative market analysis. I build one from the sales closest to your home, show each adjustment, and explain the list price I would recommend.

Before you set a price, check what you keep after closing costs. Interviewing agents? Start with how to choose a listing agent in Mission Viejo.

Should I price my Mission Viejo home at the market or above it?

2 figures above answer most of this: the median sale-to-list ratio against the final list price, and the lower ratio against the original list price, where price cuts show up.

Price at the market from day one if:

• Your home type and tract have several recent sales close to yours. Buyers and appraisers will compare against them.
• Your timeline is about a month. Most Mission Viejo sales in the last 12 months closed within 30 days on market.
• Your home needs work that the closest recent sales did not.

Expect more time on market if:

• You list above the closest recent sales of your home type.
• Your price range or home type shows a longer median time on market in the figures above.
