Buying and selling in Dana Point
What to know before you move.
Coastal Dana Point has its own rules. Homes in the coastal zone can need California Coastal Commission or local coastal permits for remodels and additions, and short-term rental rules are set by the city, so check both before you plan around them.
Close to the water, I also look at flood zone maps, insurance quotes and the age of the home's systems early in escrow, because salt air and older construction show up in inspections.

Questions
Straight answers.
What is a typical home worth in Dana Point?
About $1.77M as of September 2026, per the Zillow Home Value Index, up 6.8% from a year earlier. That's a typical value, not your home's price. Ask me for the recent sales closest to your street.
How many homes are for sale in Dana Point?
79 active listings in the latest Realtor.com monthly data. My Dana Point housing market report has the trend, prices by ZIP code and days on market.
Do I need a coastal permit to remodel in Dana Point?
Often, if the home is in the coastal zone. Many additions and some remodels need a coastal development permit from the city or the California Coastal Commission. Check with the city's planning department before you buy with a project in mind.
Do you work in Dana Point?
Yes. I'm based in Gardena and work across Orange County, including Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente. Call or text 562-253-9034, or book a 15-minute call.

I'm Memo Dinh (CA DRE #02066757), a REALTOR® with Epique Realty and a 5.0-star rating from clients. Call or text 562-253-9034 to talk it through.
How do I sell my house in Dana Point?
Get a pricing analysis from the closest recent sales, fix only what buyers will pay for, list with strong photos and a clear plan, then compare every offer by your net, not just the price. I give you a net sheet before you list.
How much does it cost to sell a house in Dana Point?
Commissions are negotiable. Other costs usually include escrow, title insurance, Orange County's $1.10 per $1,000 documentary transfer tax, plus a city transfer tax where the city charges one, and any repair credits or prep. Use the seller net sheet on this site for an estimate, then I'll send you an exact version.
Should I take a cash offer for my Dana Point home?
Sometimes. A cash offer saves time and repairs but usually comes in lower. If you have one, I'll put it next to an on-market estimate so you can compare your real net.
Is there down payment help for first-time buyers in Dana Point?
Often, yes. CalHFA programs are statewide, and some counties and cities run their own down payment programs that open in rounds. Rules and funding change, so confirm current availability with a CalHFA-approved lender. Not financial advice.
I inherited a house in Dana Point. What should I do first?
Find out whether it's in a trust or needs probate through the Orange County Superior Court, keep it insured and secured, and ask your CPA about the stepped-up tax basis and Prop 19 before deciding to keep, rent or sell. I help heirs sell, including from out of state. Not legal or tax advice.
