This market snapshot was rewritten in October 2026. It covers Mission Viejo closed sales for December 2025, with November 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2025 for comparison, and every figure was recomputed from CRMLS closed-sale data.
What this guide does not cover: homes on the market right now (the CRMLS pull has closed sales only), sales after December 2025 (see our Mission Viejo home prices report for the latest 12 months), and tax or legal advice (ask a CPA or attorney).

What does a December snapshot tell a Mission Viejo seller?
99.0%: that is where the median December sale closed against its final list price, after 22 days on market. Single-family homes closed at a median 98.6% of list and condominiums and townhomes at 99.4%. Those figures describe how close sale prices landed to asking prices once a home was priced to sell; they do not predict what any one home will sell for.
For context, Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey put the 30-year fixed rate at 6.15% for the week of December 31, 2025.
