Looking at the Buena Park housing market data, there has been a consistent upward trend over the past five years. In early 2021, the median home value was around $600,000, and as of 2026, it is forming around $832,000. When calculated cumulatively over five years, this represents an increase of about 39%.

By period, the steepest increase occurred from 2021 to the first half of 2022, and then from the second half of 2022 to 2023, a noticeable reduction in the rate of increase was observed due to rising interest rates. Starting in 2024, a gradual increase has continued amid low inventory, and a slight adjustment has been recorded over the past year.

Compared to the national average cumulative increase rate estimated at 35-45% over five years, Buena Park's 39% is positioned in the middle. It appears that being a relatively lower entry price area within Orange County has supported steady demand.

Recent market observations reveal several overlapping factors that have driven the increase.

• Employment base adjacent to Disneyland and amusement parks
• Relatively lower entry prices compared to Anaheim and Fullerton
• Steady demand from Korean and Asian households for school districts
• Limited supply of new land

These structural factors are unlikely to change in the short term, suggesting that a gradual adjustment or stable trend is more likely than a sharp decline. However, there remains potential for volatility depending on how interest rates move.

Recent market trends indicate that for Korean households looking to reside, it remains an attractive option. However, for investment purposes, it seems reasonable to approach carefully after reviewing rental yields and future supply plans.

In conclusion, Buena Park can be summarized as a market that has shown a gradual and steady trend rather than sharp fluctuations.

The above figures are estimates based on Zillow ZHVI as of the reference points (January 2021, first half of 2026), and actual individual property prices may vary based on location and condition.
