Zillow estimates O.C. home values dropped 17.8% in the second quarter over the same period last year, but if you’ve held on for five years, the value has increased 4.1% on an annualized basis.

The online real estate service estimates that if you’ve owned the same O.C. place for 10 years, values have increased 8.4% on an annualized basis.

Meanwhile consumer prices for the L.A.-O.C.-Riverside area are up 3.6% on average over the past five years, 3.1% since 1998.

Although low-end homes took the biggest bath in value in the last year — plunging 21.9% — long term owners in this category came out best, seeing their values rise an estimated 9% annualized since 1998.
