Woodbridge Irvine Real Estate Market Update, August 20, 2026

What sold in Woodbridge

Twenty homes closed in Woodbridge between July 23 and August 17, 2026. Here is what they did.

Woodbridge closed sales, July 23 to August 17, 2026.

Measure	This period	Trailing 12 months
Closed sales	20	184
Median closed price	$1,165,000	$1,170,000
Median price per sq ft	$800	$813
Median size	1,334 sq ft	1,401 sq ft
Median days on market	20	20
Median sale to list	99.0%	99.0%

Prices ran from $545,000 for a one bedroom on Echo Run to $1,865,000 for a four bedroom detached home on Songsparrow. Five of the twenty, a quarter of them, closed at or above asking price.

The headline read against the twelve-month picture on my Woodbridge housing market data hub is genuinely boring, and I mean that as a compliment. Median price within $5,000 of the annual figure, days on market identical, sale to list identical. If you only read the top line you would conclude nothing is happening in Woodbridge. Something is, but it is one level down.

The split: detached is selling, attached is working for it

Break the same twenty sales into detached houses and attached homes, meaning condominiums and townhomes, and the market stops looking uniform.

Measure	Detached	Attached
Closed sales	6	14

A detached Woodbridge house sold in a week. An attached home took three times as long. Both closed within about a point of asking price, so this is not a story about attached sellers giving away money. It is a story about how long they had to wait, and about how many of them never got there at all.

The number that is not in most market updates: what did not sell

Most market reports count closings. Closings are the survivors. Over this period Woodbridge had 89 listings in play, and here is where all of them ended up.

Where all 89 Woodbridge listings stand, as of August 20, 2026.

Status	Count
Active, still for sale	40
Closed	20
Withdrawn	12
In escrow (pending or under contract)	8
On hold	4
Canceled	3
Expired	2

Seventeen listings came off the market without selling, and another four are parked on hold. That is 21 of 89, close to one in four, that did not transact.

Two things about those seventeen are worth knowing.

Sixteen of the seventeen were attached homes. One detached house withdrew. Everything else was a condominium or townhome. Combined with the days-on-market split above, that is the clearest signal in this month's data: the difficulty in Woodbridge right now is concentrated almost entirely in attached product.

Cutting the price did not rescue them. Only 8 of the 17 had reduced their asking price at all, and the ones that did were not asking a premium to begin with. Their median asking price worked out to $730 per square foot against the $757 that attached homes actually closed at. These were not, on the whole, greedy listings. Something other than price was in the way, and in my experience that is usually condition, a difficult tract or floor plan, or terms the seller was not willing to move on.

One caveat I would rather state than have you infer: seventeen listings is a small sample, and several were unusually large condominiums, where price per square foot naturally runs lower. The direction of the finding is solid. The precise figures are not something to hang a pricing decision on by themselves.

What is on the market now

Woodbridge has 40 active listings as of August 20, 2026, plus 8 more already in escrow.

Woodbridge active listings, August 20, 2026.

Measure	All active	Detached	Attached
Listings	40	10	30
Median asking price	$1,187,500	$1,837,500	$973,900
Median asking $/sq ft	$842	$917	$795
Median days on market	40	52	34

Two details in that inventory matter more than the medians.

Thirteen of the 40 have been on the market longer than 60 days, and four of those are past 90. At the other end, 8 came on within the last week. Woodbridge is not one queue, it is a fast lane and a slow lane running side by side.

Sixteen of the 40 have already cut their price, by a median of 4%. That is a useful benchmark if you are a seller deciding whether to hold your number: four in ten of your competitors have already blinked.

Asking prices sit above where sales are landing, $842 per square foot on the board against $800 achieved. That gap is normal, but it is the gap that produces the 4% reductions.

The north lake side and the south lake side are not the same market

Woodbridge closed sales by ZIP code, July 23 to August 17, 2026.

Measure	92604 (north lake side)	92614 (south lake side)
Closed sales	7	13
Median closed price	$1,410,000	$1,010,000
Median price per sq ft	$927	$777
Median days on market	19	21

The north lake side closed at $927 per square foot this period against $777 on the south lake side, a 19% difference. Part of that is product mix, since more of the detached inventory sits on the north lake side, but it is a reminder that a Woodbridge comparable pulled from the wrong side of the village can be off by a wide margin. When I price a Woodbridge home I work from the tract outward, not from the village average inward.

The HOA numbers, from actual sale records

These come from the association fees recorded on the listings themselves, not from association websites, so they reflect what buyers are really taking on.

• Single family homes pay the Woodbridge Village Association master assessment, $157 a month, and nothing else.
• Attached homes, meaning condominiums and townhomes, pay two. In this data 97% of attached listings carried a second assessment: a sub-association at a median of $335 a month on top of the $157 WVA master, so roughly $492 combined.

One thing the raw data will tell you wrongly, and this is worth knowing if you are pulling MLS figures yourself. A handful of Woodbridge listings recorded as single family residences do show a second assessment. They are not detached homes. They are townhomes or condominiums that were miscoded at input. If a Woodbridge home carries anything beyond the $157 WVA master, it is attached product, whatever the listing says. That single rule will save you from a misleading comparable.

That difference is the single most common surprise for buyers coming into Woodbridge condos, and it is worth working into your affordability maths before you tour, not after. Ask for both assessment figures in writing before you write an offer, not after you are in escrow.

What this means if you are buying or selling

Selling a detached Woodbridge house. Conditions are good. Six sold in a median of seven days at close to asking. Price it to the tract and it will move.

Selling a Woodbridge condo or townhome. Be realistic about time and about presentation. Twenty-two days to sell is the median for the ones that succeeded, and sixteen listings gave up entirely. Condition and photography are doing more work in this segment than a small price adjustment will.

Buying in Woodbridge. There are 40 homes on the market and 13 of them have been sitting for more than two months. Those sellers have been thinking about it for a while. Attached homes in particular are where a considered offer has the most room right now.

For the longer view behind all of this, the twelve-month figures live on the Woodbridge housing market data hub, and the citywide comparison is on the Irvine housing market data hub. Both are updated monthly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the median home price in Woodbridge, Irvine right now?

Woodbridge closed 20 homes between July 23 and August 17, 2026, at a median price of $1,165,000 and a median of $800 per square foot. That is within $5,000 of the trailing twelve-month median of $1,170,000, so prices in the village are holding steady. Detached houses closed at a median $1,838,000 and attached homes, meaning condominiums and townhomes, at $956,000.

How long are Woodbridge homes taking to sell?

The median was 20 days for the period ending August 17, 2026, identical to the twelve-month median. That average hides a wide split: detached houses sold in a median of 7 days, while attached homes took 22. Of the 40 homes currently on the market, 13 have been listed for more than 60 days and 4 for more than 90.

Is it a good time to sell a condo in Woodbridge?

It is a workable time, but expect it to take longer than a detached house and prepare accordingly. Attached homes that sold took a median 22 days and closed at 99.0% of asking, so pricing is not the problem. The concern is completion: of 17 Woodbridge listings that came off the market without selling in this period, 16 were attached. Condition, presentation and realistic expectations on timeline matter more in this segment than a small price cut.

How many homes are for sale in Woodbridge, Irvine?

As of August 20, 2026 there were 40 active listings in Woodbridge, plus 8 more in escrow as pending or active under contract. The median asking price was $1,187,500 at $842 per square foot. Thirty of the 40 are attached homes and 10 are detached. Sixteen of the 40 have already reduced their asking price, by a median of 4%.

How much are HOA fees in Woodbridge?

Single family homes in Woodbridge pay the Woodbridge Village Association master assessment of $157 a month and nothing else. Attached homes, meaning condominiums and townhomes, pay two: in this data 97% of attached listings carried a sub-association assessment, median $335 a month, on top of the $157 WVA master, for roughly $492 combined. If a Woodbridge home shows an assessment beyond the $157 master it is attached product, even if the listing records it as a single family residence. These figures come from association fees recorded on the listings themselves rather than from association websites.
