Anaheim in short: The typical home is worth about $946,000 as of August 2026, up 2.7% in a year, against about $1,179,000 across Orange County. About 436 homes are for sale. Homes that sell go under contract in about 18 days. Typical rent is about $2,760 a month. First-time buyers can use the Anaheim First-Time Homebuyer Program along with county and state down payment programs.
Anaheim is one of Orange County's largest cities and one of its most varied housing markets. It runs from the flatlands around Downtown and the Disneyland Resort in the west to the hillside streets of Anaheim Hills in the east, so one city holds 1950s ranch homes, newer condos near the Platinum Triangle and larger view homes off the 91 freeway.
For first-time buyers Anaheim matters for two reasons. The typical home value sits below the county figure, and the city runs its own First-Time Homebuyer Program, a deferred loan of up to $50,000 for homes inside city limits. It can be combined with county help such as the Orange County Mortgage Credit Certificate, which lowers your federal taxes every year you hold the loan.
Buyers here usually weigh age and condition as much as price. Much of west and central Anaheim was built in the 1950s and 1960s, so the sewer line, roof and electrical panel deserve a close look. Anaheim Hills tracts from the 1970s onward bring HOA dues in some neighborhoods and a different school district.
