Calimesa’s rolling three-month snapshot shows fewer homes available, with active listings down more than 30 percent from a year ago. New listings have fallen even faster, dropping over a third year over year, which keeps fresh options limited. Even with tighter supply, homes are taking longer to go under contract, with the median days on market up sharply compared with last spring.
Pricing has been adjusting to these conditions. The typical home value over the latest three-month period is down nearly 10 percent from a year earlier, while the median list price is also lower than last year, though by a smaller margin. Fewer bidding wars are evident, as the share of homes selling above list has edged down year over year and the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to just over 97 percent.
Sales activity is holding up reasonably well despite these shifts. Homes sold are modestly higher than a year ago, and pending sales are only slightly below last year’s levels, suggesting that buyers are still active when they see the right fit. Months of supply sits under three months, supporting Calimesa’s classification as a seller’s market even as buyers gain some pricing leverage. With conditions changing across inventory, timing, and negotiation power, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent who understands this evolving market.
