Some statistics on how Mission Viejo housing looks compared to the rest of the nation through the Zillow lens.
The online housing tracker’s national databases can help add some perspective to the high price of local living.
As of November, for example, Orange County real estate by Zillow’s math — the No. 5 nationally in housing market size — has a median home value of $696,200, 13th highest in the 1,700-plus U.S. counties tracked. That’s after surging 44.7 percent in the last five years, the 212th ranked gain nationally.
Other Southern California countywide median values and their U.S. rank: Los Angeles County at $588,000 (No. 22 among 1,700 counties); San Diego County at $560,800 (No. 27); Riverside County at $354,600 (No. 85); and San Bernardino County at $318,200 (No. 123).
Here’s how Zillow sees home values in Mission Viejo as of November compared to some 13,000-plus other U.S. cities …
Market size: No. 346 nationally, or in the top 4 percent.
Price: $705,100 — that’s No. 415 nationally or in the top 4 percent.
5-year gain: 42.4 percent — that’s No. 2,349 or in the top 19 percent.
10-year gain: 9.5 percent — that’s No. 4,480 or in the top 39 percent.

By one widely-watched home-price benchmark, the strongest appreciation nationwide this century was in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The S&P/Case-Shiller indexes are curious real estate yardsticks, invented by and named for two pioneering professors in housing economics. This benchmark is narrow in scope as it follows housing in just 20 large U.S. markets. Think of it as housing’s equivalent to the Dow Jones industrial index, the venerable Wall Street tracker of 30 publicly traded and well-known companies. When I tossed S&P/Case-Shiller data into my trusty spreadsheet I learned prices in L.A.-O.C. have surged to a nation’s best 171 percent since January 2000. (Ahem, that includes the housing bubble bursting!) And these 21st-century gains e

One way or another, two words are likely to dominate the complicated politics of California’s housing crisis in 2018: rent control. Photo: ThinkStock 8 COMMENTS By  CALMATTERS  | January 4, 2018 at 12:50 pm One way or another, two words are likely to dominate the complicated politics of California’s housing crisis in 2018: rent control. Next week state lawmakers will hear a proposal from Assemblyman Richard Bloom, Democrat from Santa Monica, that would allow cities to dramatically restrict what landlords can charge tenants year-over-year. The bill couldn’t even get a hearing last year amid intense opposition from landlords. But looming over legislators’ heads this time around is a potential ballot initiative supported by tenants’ rights groups that would do much of the same. If the bill stalls, experts say there’s a good chance you’ll see rent control on your November ballot. What should your average Californian know about a rent control debate poised to gobble up so
