Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Riviera/Westchester’s rolling three-month snapshot through September 2026 shows a mixed but active market. Typical home values in this period edged up about 2 percent from the prior three months, while the median list price moved down nearly 8 percent, suggesting sellers have recently become more flexible on asking prices.
Inventory and sales activity have cooled from early summer levels. Active listings fell by roughly a quarter from three months ago and homes sold dropped by nearly half. New listings and pending sales are also down, pointing to slower turnover.
Looking back a year, prices are notably higher, with typical home values and list prices both up around 10 percent compared with the same rolling period in 2025. Homes are selling much faster than a year ago, with median days on market cut roughly in half, yet months of supply has more than doubled to about 5.4 months, putting Riviera/Westchester above Bakersfield’s broader 3.2‑month supply. A smaller share of homes is closing above list than last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio now sits just under 100 percent, indicating buyers have a bit more room to negotiate while sellers still achieve prices close to asking. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these crosscurrents can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands this market’s nuances.

“This is the second time I have used Merv as my agent to sell a home in Bakersfield. Merv went above and beyond in meeting our needs on selling my mother's home as I was located out of town. In a tough seller's market Merv communicated regularly with us and came up with some creative ways to show the house by connecting with other agents who had homes for sale in the same area in an attempt to coordinate an open house. The front window shutters needed to be replaced, and Merv took action by finding some shutters at Home Depot as replacements and then arranged a contractor to install them. He also assisted in lining up someone to perform an estate sale and facilitated access to the home for setting up the sale. I have always found Merv to be professional, responsive and knowledgeable about what is going on in the market which guides his recommendations for action. Give Merv a call to see how he can meet your Real Estate needs.”
