North OC listings stabilize
For-sale inventory in North Orange County (10k–100k SF) is showing price stability around ~$352/SF and days on market have dropped to roughly 250—Anaheim, Fullerton and Brea lead the available counts. That points to motivated sellers meeting a selective buyer pool in sub‑100k SF product. (x.com/CameronJonesCRE)
That mark sits roughly 5% above Matthews’ Q2 2025 Orange County market sale-price benchmark of $335/SF, signaling North‑OC listings are trading at a premium to the county median. (matthews.com) Active listing platforms show concentration in the Anaheim corridor (Crexi lists ~23 active industrial-for-sale entries in Anaheim), Fullerton (CityFeet reports an average sale price near $385/SF for Fullerton industrial listings), and Brea (Crexi/LoopNet list a low‑double-digit count of active for‑sale industrial assets). (crexi.com) Two recent industry benchmarks bracket the North‑OC band: WareCRE reported a YTD‑2025 market sale price near $306/SF while Matthews recorded $335/SF in Q2‑2025, putting North‑OC pricing between broader Orange County low and mid‑market sale levels. (warecre.com) Regional fundamentals show softening that concentrates buyers: Cushman & Wakefield recorded a Q4‑2025 Orange County industrial vacancy around 5.0%, and CBRE reported gross transactional activity fell to about 1.5M SF in Q4‑2025, tightening the pool of qualified buyers for niche sub‑100k assets. (cushmanwakefield.com) A contemporaneous comp underscores the pricing band — a Fullerton listing at 1021 S Placentia Ave (10,080 SF) carries an asking price of $3,568,320, which equates to roughly $354/SF and aligns with the sub‑100k sale pricing observed in North OC.
