Welcome to Wagon Wheel

Wagon Wheel is a peaceful hillside community in Trabuco Canyon featuring five single-family home neighborhoods and one condominium community. Surrounded by scenic open space, parks, and nearby hiking trails, the community offers a variety of floor plans ranging from entry-level condominiums to spacious executive homes, including the gated neighborhood of Stonecliffe. With no through traffic, highly regarded Capistrano Unified School District schools, convenient access to the 241 Toll Road, and a quiet residential setting, Wagon Wheel continues to be one of South Orange County's most desirable places to call home.

WAGON WHEEL REAL ESTATE MARKET SNAPSHOT

Single-Family Homes — Trailing 12 Months (as of November 6, 2026)
Median Sale Price: $1,300,000 (↑ 3.59% year-over-year)
Median Days on Market: 31 days

Based on 25 closed sales

The Wagon Wheel single-family median rose 3.59% year-over-year, but most of that gain reflects larger homes selling, not rising values. The homes that sold this year had a median of 2,055 square feet, compared with 1,980 a year earlier. Meanwhile, the median price per square foot slipped 2.1%, from $638 to $624. With only 25 sales, the median moves with the mix of homes that happened to sell, including size, lot, view, condition, and model type. Homes sold faster than a year ago, in a median of 31 days compared with 42, at a median of 98.6% of list price. That pace stands out as the Orange County market slows: at the current rate of sales, it would take 115 days to sell every detached home on the market, up from 80 days a year ago. Buyers have room to negotiate, so pricing right from the start matters.

Condominiums — Trailing 12 Months (as of November 6, 2026)
Median Sale Price: $650,000 (↑ 4.00% year-over-year)
Median Days on Market: 16 days

Based on 12 closed sales

The Wagon Wheel condominium median, anchored by the Dakota neighborhood, rose 4.00% year-over-year. As with single-family homes, the condos that sold this year were larger, a median of 1,080 square feet versus 874, and the median price per square foot fell 9.6%, from $698 to $631. Sales slowed from 19 closings to 7, and buyers paid a median of 99.4% of list price, down from 101.3% a year ago. Condos still sold quickly, in a median of 16 days compared with 9. Countywide, it would now take 131 days to sell every condo and townhome on the market, up from 88 days last year. With only 7 closed sales, a single sale can move the median noticeably, so a property-specific analysis matters more than the headline number. Across the county, homes priced right from the start sold at full asking price. Homes that needed a price cut of 5% or more sold for about 10% below their original asking price. Precise pricing is what separates homes that move from homes that sit.
