“I had an amazing experience working with Rienee Duran from day one. She was incredibly patient as I searched for the right home and always took the time to answer all of my questions. She explained every step of the process so clearly, was very communicative, and made sure I understood everything along the way. As a single mom, buying a home can feel overwhelming and even a little scary, but Rienee made the process so much easier. I truly believe God placed her in my path at the right time. She also connected me with an amazing loan officer, Sindee, who took the time to walk me through all the financial details and really helped me understand the numbers. She truly went above and beyond, and not only will I miss working with her, but my kids will miss her too. I would absolutely work with Rienee again for any future real estate needs and feel so grateful for her guidance through this journey.”

Latest Monthly Snapshot

Monthly Pricing Trends for California
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for California
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
California is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Months of supply has tightened to 3.2, underscoring limited inventory relative to demand. At the same time, homes are taking a median of 42 days to sell, giving buyers some room to evaluate options.
Home values have been edging higher, with the typical home value up about 2 percent over the past year and reaching roughly $782,000 in May. Buyer activity has strengthened, as homes sold increased more than 8 percent year over year, even while new listings fell about 4 percent. This mismatch between rising sales and fewer new listings is helping keep conditions favorable for sellers.
Pricing dynamics show that sellers still hold negotiating power, but not overwhelmingly so. About 35 percent of homes are selling above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, suggesting many properties close near asking prices. Active listings are slightly lower than a year ago, and pending sales are up nearly 5 percent annually, pointing to steady demand moving into future closings. With these shifting conditions, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands the California market and can guide them through their next move.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Amy Mosley, was an amazing experience from start to finish. She made what could have been a stressful home-buying process feel so much easier by guiding us every step of the way. As first-time homeowners, she took the time to explain all the home-buying basics, answered every question we had, and made sure we felt informed and confident throughout the process of buying our home in Lake Forest, CA. She was incredibly quick to respond whenever we reached out and always kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. When our escrow became unexpectedly long and challenging, she was a strong advocate for us, consistently looking out for our best interests, getting us the best terms and helping us navigate every obstacle. We truly couldn't have asked for a better agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. We are so grateful for everything she did to help us get into our new home and would highly recommend her.”

“Choosing to work with Tony on the purchase of our home is one of the best decisions that I have ever made. When you work with Tony Serrano, you can feel secure that you are working with someone that has the highest level of integrity and compassion out there. Also, you don't just get Tony backing you up, you get his team. He's surrounded by professionals who are there to take care of you. From the working with his lender and all the services providers you need to complete the sale and hire for repairs afterwards, Tony has you covered. After the purchase of my home, Tony provided me with some amazing people to prepare our home for our move in. Painters, electricians, plumbers, just to name a few. They all work with Tony and take care of me as a valued client just like Tony did throughout this entire experience. Tony is prompt, responsiveness and works tirelessly to make sure you get into our dream home. I know because we found ours. He'sthe best out there!”

If you're looking for a realtor who is professional, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend reaching out to Nicole. You'll be glad you did. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions. Finding Nicole was one of the best things that could have happened. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to explain things in detail. Even when I thought I had done all the research possible, she always had helpful insights and advice that made a big difference. What stood out most was her dedication. No matter when I reached out, she was quick to answer my questions and made me feel supported. It never felt like I was just another client; she truly cared about helping me find the right home.

“Working with Karen was excellent, she made sure to be there for us in every step of the process, was kind and patient enough to explain things to us and made sure we were comfortable. I do believe she's wonderful in her job and very professional. Although I would recommend her to change some of the contacts for some of the services that comes with buying a house, like the house inspection one and the carpet cleaning services; nothing to do with HER work but something to consider.”
“Peggy Wilson was fabulous in her quest to help me find the right type of housing. Being older and recently widowed, she helped guide me into a place that would serve my needs for more years than what I had anticipated. A comfortable, affordable, community-minded environment. She's always willing to help me after the purchase also as I have not been able to move yet. If I do have to move again, she'll be the first one I call. Thank you, Peggy for helping me!”
