Quick Answer
Yorba Linda home values centered on a median sale price of $1,300,000 across 387 closings between January 1 and July 31, 2026, worth $558,226,528 in total volume. Sellers averaged 98.6% of original list price in about 35 days. Individual sale prices ran from $340,000 to $6,000,000, so very few homes are worth anything close to the median.

What is my home worth in Yorba Linda?
No citywide figure prices an individual Yorba Linda home. The 2026 median of $1,300,000 sat in the middle of 387 closings, yet the middle half of those sales spread from $960,000 to $1,750,000. Roughly a quarter closed below $960,000, and another quarter closed above $1,750,000.
Size explains much of that spread. The median home that sold measured 1,958 square feet. The smallest tenth came in under 1,108 square feet, and the largest tenth ran above 3,838. Because value tracks size, price range, and location together, a useful estimate starts with comparable closings rather than a single city average.
Condition, view, lot usability, and recent work also move the number. None of those appear in an estimate generated from public records, though all of them show up in a closing. Price direction across the year is a separate question, covered in the analysis of whether Yorba Linda home prices are falling in 2026.
Yorba Linda home values by price range
The $1M–$1.5M range carried the largest share of Yorba Linda home values recorded in 2026, with 142 of 387 closings, or 36.7% of the market. That range also cleared closest to asking, at 99.9% of original list price, and averaged 24.2 days on market.
Sale-to-list compares the final sale price with the price a home was first listed at. A reading of 99.9% means the typical sale in that range closed just under its original asking price. Both ends of the market cleared further below asking, at 97.6% under $750,000 and 97.7% above $2,000,000.
| Price band | Sales | Median sale price | Median price per square foot | Avg. days on market | Avg. sale-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $750K | 63 | $600,000 | $542 | 38.0 | 97.6% |
| $750K–$1M | 41 | $865,000 | $608 | 30.7 | 99.4% |
| $1M–$1.5M | 142 | $1,244,966 | $673 | 24.2 | 99.9% |
| $1.5M–$2M | 74 | $1,691,500 | $615 | 38.7 | 97.5% |
| $2M+ | 67 | $2,440,000 | $689 | 51.4 | 97.7% |
| All bands | 387 | $1,300,000 | $624 | 34.6 | 98.6% |

Days on market climbed with price. Homes below $2,000,000 averaged between 24.2 and 38.7 days, while the $2M+ tier averaged 51.4. A fuller quarter-by-quarter picture sits in the review of the Yorba Linda housing market in Q2 2026.
How much is a Yorba Linda home worth per square foot?
The median Yorba Linda home sold for $624 per square foot between January 1 and July 31, 2026. That single figure hides a wide band, because the middle 80% of 2026 closings ran from $487 to $810 per square foot. Applying one citywide rate to a specific address will therefore overprice some homes and underprice others.
Price per square foot also does not climb evenly with price. Homes in the $1M–$1.5M range cleared at a median of $673 per square foot. That sits above the $615 recorded in the $1.5M–$2M range directly above it.
Larger homes cost more in total while earning less for each foot. The $1.5M–$2M range carried a median of 2,807 square feet against 1,802 in the range below.
Only the $2M+ tier ran higher, at $689 per square foot. Consequently, a per-foot rate borrowed from a neighboring price range can miss a specific home by a wide margin.
Do Yorba Linda home values differ between 92886 and 92887?
Yes. The city’s two ZIP codes recorded measurably different Yorba Linda home values in 2026. Across 254 sales, homes in 92886 closed at a median of $1,325,000 and $640 per square foot. Across 133 sales, 92887 closed at a median of $1,210,000 and $583 per square foot.
Speed differed as well. Sales in 92886 averaged 31.9 days on market against 39.8 in 92887, while sale-to-list came in at 98.8% and 98.3% respectively. Both figures describe averages across an entire ZIP code, so neither replaces a read on a specific street.
| ZIP code | Sales | Median sale price | Median price per square foot | Avg. days on market | Avg. sale-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 92886 | 254 | $1,325,000 | $640 | 31.9 | 98.8% |
| 92887 | 133 | $1,210,000 | $583 | 39.8 | 98.3% |

What Yorba Linda sellers are asking versus what buyers are paying
Asking prices in Yorba Linda ran $56,780 above what escrows were clearing as of July 31, 2026. That comparison is adjusted so it holds price band constant, which keeps a shift in the mix of homes for sale from masquerading as a shift in price. That gap is the practical reason a list price is not a value. The market sets the second number, while the first is only a proposal.
The live market held 153 active listings, an Expected Market Time of 67 days, and 28.2% of the market under contract. Expected Market Time estimates how long the current inventory would take to sell at today’s pace of new escrows. At 67 days, Yorba Linda reads as a moderate seller’s market. The timing case sits in the review of the best time to sell a Yorba Linda home.
Price posture among those active listings split three ways as of July 31, 2026. Ninety-one listings still held within 1% of original list. Another 33 had trimmed 1% to just under 5%.
A further 29 had cut 5% or more, which is 47% of all adjusted homes. More context sits in the analysis of buying a Yorba Linda home without a bidding war.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Yorba Linda home worth per square foot?
The median Yorba Linda sale between January 1 and July 31, 2026 cleared at $624 per square foot. However, the middle 80% of those 387 closings ran from $487 to $810 per square foot. The citywide figure is a starting point, not an answer for a specific address.
Is an online home value estimate accurate in Yorba Linda?
An automated estimate is built from public records and past sales. It cannot account for condition, view, lot usability, or recent work. In a city where 2026 closings ran from $340,000 to $6,000,000, that gap matters. Comparing a specific home against recent closings in its own price range and ZIP code produces a closer number.
Do homes in Yorba Linda sell for their asking price?
On average they closed slightly below it. Across 387 closings between January 1 and July 31, 2026, the typical Yorba Linda sale cleared at 98.6% of its original list price. The $1M–$1.5M range came closest, at 99.9%.
What is Expected Market Time?
Expected Market Time estimates how many days the current inventory would take to sell, at today’s pace of new escrows. Yorba Linda held 67 days as of July 31, 2026. It runs longer than average days on market. The reason is that it measures the whole standing inventory, not only the homes that already sold.
Put a Real Number on a Specific Yorba Linda Address
A citywide median cannot price one address, and neither can an estimate generated from public records. Michael Mellgren, REALTOR®, tracks every Yorba Linda closing as it records. He can set a specific home against the sales in its own price range, size, and ZIP code.
Have that number checked against real closings before a listing price is set, not after the first two weeks of showings. Email Michael Mellgren about a Yorba Linda home value, or call or text (714) 420-6229.
