Top Signals

Four Data Points
Median List Price
$1.45M
Currently $1.45M, down slightly from $1.48M last month but up +3.9% YoY vs $1.4M in Jun 2025. The 3-month trend shows steady appreciation from $1.35M in Feb — locking in now captures today's price before the next seasonal push higher.
Months of Inventory
1.25 mo
Only 1.25 months of supply — deep seller's territory (under 4 mo). Up from 1.20 in April but sharply below the 1.49 mo of Jun 2025. With absorption keeping pace with new listings, available homes are being snapped up fast; hesitation means fewer choices.
Market Action Index
53.60
At 53.60, Orange firmly favors sellers (above 30 threshold). The index has ranged 51.91–56.69 over the past 5 months and sits well above 47.75 a year ago — sustained demand is not letting up, signaling this is not a market where buyers can afford to wait.
Days on Market (Median)
28 days
Median DOM holds at just 28 days for the third straight month — matching Jun 2025 lows and down sharply from 49 days in Jan–Feb 2026. Homes priced right are moving in under 4 weeks, meaning competitive offers with minimal contingencies are essential right now.
What This Means

Act now — inventory is razor-thin and demand is holding firm.

With only 1.25 months of supply, 28-day median sales pace, and prices up ~$55K YoY, waiting costs real money. Get pre-approved, define your must-haves, and be ready to move within days of a listing hitting the market.

Honest Caveats

29% of active single-family listings have taken a price cut (up from 22% in Apr), suggesting some sellers are overpriced. This creates pockets of negotiating room — target homes with longer days on market for potential below-ask opportunities.
