Have been looking for 6 months. We're still not sure about New Port or Irvine or elsewhere.
Anyone got suggestions?

Affordably, no.
If you can afford it, anytime is a good time as long as you can stay put for a while.

Spring is usually the peak pricing, but probably also when there is the most inventories. Price starts coming down in the summer and even further in the fall. Mortgage rates had also been shooting up recently, so I would say now it's not a good time to buy.

Terrible advice. Thousands of people in Irvine lost their homes listening to this kind of nonsense.

Really? People who could afford their homes and stayed in them for 10 years lost them?

We are looking for SFH around 3M with great school district. Do you have any suggestions about the area/zip code?

Makes sense, probably will wait until late summer.

Were they unable to pay the mortgage? We're also concerned about the job market.

You have to take LL responses with a grain of salt. He’s anti-Irvine.
It’s nonsense that anyone who can afford their home and stay out for a while (which indicates job stability) will lose their home. If that’s the case, that’s not just Irvine.
Buy within your means and for the long haul and you should be fine. Of course there are outliers like all things and you should also consider rental parity. For some people, renting might make more sense than buying.
