Property For sale & Area Information.
San Clemente’s real estate market remains strong, driven by its laid-back coastal vibe, Spanish-style charm, and growing appeal among families and remote professionals. With a unique blend of surf-town character and luxury enclaves, demand is consistent across a wide range of price points. Although higher interest rates have slightly cooled activity, well-located homes—especially those with ocean views—continue to draw competitive offers.
Single-Family Homes: Median price is $1.45 million, reflecting a 5.8% year-over-year (YoY) increase.
Condominiums & Townhomes: Median price stands at $845,000, up 4.7% YoY.
Luxury Market ($2M+): High interest in coastal bluff homes and gated communities like Sea Pointe Estates and The Reserve. Days on Market (DOM) averages 55–70 days.
Limited Inventory: Around 1.5 months of supply—still well within a seller’s market range.
