They include every home in 92648 that closed from September 1 through October 1, plus everything active, active under contract, pending or coming soon that day.

What the 92648 Numbers Mean for Sellers
At last month’s pace, the current listings would take roughly 2.2 months to sell. As a result, the listing price you start with matters more than any single upgrade.
Condo and townhome sellers face real competition. There are about three months of attached homes for sale, and 21 listings across 92648 have passed 90 days. Buyers are comparing, so the attached homes that sell are priced to the recent closings, not to the listings sitting next door.
House sellers are in better shape. Houses sold at a median of $2,308,000, and house supply is closer to a month and a half. Condition and pricing still decide how fast it goes.
Pricing is where most sellers win or lose. Our post on pricing a Huntington Beach home to draw competing offers walks through how we set a list price from the recent sales. Buyer demand also moves with mortgage rates, which Freddie Mac tracks weekly.
