I'm Jesse Oñate, a licensed REALTOR® working La Habra and the cities on both sides of the county line. Buying or selling in 90631, you get real comps, straight answers and a call back the same day.
Looking for a real estate agent in La Habra? I'm Jesse Oñate (DRE #02133131), and La Habra is where the LA County cities I work meet Orange County. It borders Whittier and La Mirada on one side and Fullerton and Brea on the other, and I work all four. I have closed 100+ deals across LA and Orange County, I hold a 5.0 rating on Google, and I handle every client myself.
Here is the market in two lines. As of 2026 the median home price in La Habra is about $815K, and homes average around 38 days on market. Well priced homes do not sit, so buyers should have a pre-approval in hand before the first tour, and sellers should price off real La Habra sales from day one.
One thing to do this week: if you are eyeing a listing, look up the exact address on the county assessor's site. The 90631 ZIP covers both La Habra and La Habra Heights, and they are two different cities in two different counties. If you own here already, get a free home valuation so you know where you stand.
La Habra is about 62K people in the north corner of Orange County, right on the LA County line. Here is how I help buyers get in without overpaying or getting surprised after escrow opens.
90631 covers La Habra in Orange County and La Habra Heights in LA County. Same ZIP, different city, county and rules. I confirm which side a listing sits on before you fall for it.
La Habra City School District covers elementary and middle school, and Fullerton Joint Union High School District runs La Habra High and Sonora High. Some addresses fall in other districts, so I verify the exact house.
La Habra has no freeway inside city limits. Most commuters take Imperial Highway east to the 57, or ride Beach Boulevard or Harbor Boulevard south. Drive your route at rush hour before you buy.
FHA, CalHFA and other down payment programs stretch further than most people expect, even on an $815K median. I connect you with lenders who close on time.
At about 38 days on market, La Habra rewards sellers who price right and show well the first weekend. Miss on price and you spend the next month chasing the market.
A lazy ZIP search mixes La Habra Heights hillside sales into your comps. I price against La Habra closings only, adjusted for your lot, floor plan and condition.
Sitting on the county line means your buyer could be moving up from Whittier or La Mirada just as easily as from inside Orange County. Your marketing should reach both.
The highest offer is not always the best one. I weigh the price, the loan, the contingencies and the timeline so you keep more at closing.

The stuff I bring up on a showing that never makes it into the listing.
Where the name comes from: La Habra means the pass through the hills, after the natural gap in the Puente Hills. The land was granted as Rancho Cañada de La Habra in 1839, the city incorporated in 1925, and by 1928 it was the biggest avocado center in Southern California.
The main roads: three state routes run through town as regular streets: Whittier Boulevard (SR 72), Beach Boulevard (SR 39) and Imperial Highway (SR 90). Idaho Street, Euclid Street and Palm Street carry north and south traffic, with La Habra Boulevard and Lambert Road running east and west. Which of those your street feeds into decides how your mornings go.
Family spots: the Children's Museum at La Habra lives in a 1923 Union Pacific depot on Euclid Street, with a historic caboose outside. La Bonita Park on Whittier Boulevard covers 22 acres with a skate park, courts and softball fields.
Corn Festival weekend: every August the La Habra Host Lions Club throws the Corn Festival, with a Saturday morning parade that ranks among the oldest in Southern California. The money pays for eye exams and glasses for students who need them. If you are new to town, go.
Next door: plenty of my La Habra buyers also tour La Mirada and Fullerton, and I work both. If the right house is one city over, I will tell you.
As of 2026 the median home price in La Habra is about $815K, and homes average around 38 days on market. Your street, your lot and the condition of the house move that number a lot, so I run a free valuation on your exact address.
La Habra is in Orange County. The mix-up comes from La Habra Heights, a separate city in LA County that shares the 90631 ZIP. Always check the city on the listing and on the county assessor record before you write an offer.
Most homes are in La Habra City School District for elementary and middle school and Fullerton Joint Union High School District for high school, which runs La Habra High and Sonora High. Some addresses are served by other districts, so confirm the assignment for the exact house with the district.
Commission is negotiable and I go over it up front. Sellers get a net proceeds estimate before signing anything. Buyers sign a written agreement before we tour that spells out how I am paid, and that pay can be negotiated into the deal with the seller.
I work La Habra and the cities around it every week, I answer my own phone 7 days a week from 8am to 9pm, and I have closed 100+ deals with a 5.0 rating on Google. Read what clients say on my reviews page, then book a 15-minute call.
