Zillow's home value ran approximately $785,000 (April 2026), Redfin's median sale price ran $802,500 (down 0.03% year-over-year), and a separately cited median value ran lower at $753,000 (up roughly 5% year-over-year) -- disclosed honestly rather than reconciled to one figure.
A genuinely tight, seller-favorable market
Homes sold in around 47 days with only 2.8 months of supply, at 100.92% of asking price -- real, current conditions favoring sellers as of 2026.
Prop 13's real assessed-value gap matters for resale timing
As with every California market, a Santa Ana buyer's assessed value locks at purchase price and rises at most 2%/year -- meaning identical homes can carry very different property tax bills depending on when the seller purchased.
