Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).

Hillcrest home values have inched up over the past year, with typical prices rising about 5 percent in this rolling three-month view. Asking prices have climbed even faster, up more than 18 percent year over year, signaling stronger seller expectations. At the same time, fewer homes are being listed and sold compared with a year ago, as new listings are down by roughly one-third and closed sales have fallen by more than 15 percent.

Current conditions show a market adjusting from last year’s pace but still leaning toward sellers. The months of supply has more than doubled year over year to about three and a half months, yet the area is still categorized as a seller’s market.

Homes are moving more quickly than they did a year ago, with the median days on market down about 9 percent to three weeks. A growing share of properties is achieving strong results, with nearly 43 percent selling above the list price and the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent, both higher than last year. Inventory has stayed relatively steady, with active listings only slightly lower year over year, even as pending sales have dipped modestly. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting trends in Hillcrest can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands this market from both sides and can guide them through each step.

“Working with Angelina to purchase my very first home was an absolute dream! Going into the home buying process for the first time, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Angelina made the entire journey seamless, transparent, and exciting. From day one, she took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, patient with all my questions, and guided me through every single step. From initial viewings all the way to closing day. Her knowledge of the local market, sharp eye for detail during walkthroughs, and strong negotiation skills made all the difference. I always felt completely supported and confident that my best interests were the top priority. Thanks to Angelina, what could have been a stressful process felt manageable and rewarding. I couldn't be happier with my new home! If you are a first-time buyer (or looking to buy or sell at all), I cannot recommend Angelina highly enough.”

“We picked Deanne to list our home because we had seen her work and professionalism in action with some friends of ours when they sold some LOP homes. Deanne took the time to make sure the listing price was correct and did not get caught up in trying to get to much for the property. Deanne was very professional in how she handled the buyers and the prosective buyers that looked at our home. We would recommend her to anyone in the Auburn CA area looking to buy or sell a home without a second thought.”

“Our estate home in Scripps Ranch, San Diego was on the market with another realtor from March through June this year We really liked that realtor, but the home did not sell External economic conditions made it very difficult to sell homes in Scripps Ranch priced in the 1.8 to $2,000,000 category We had known Chad since before our home went on the market, but did not choose him as the listing agent initially After our contract with our agent expired, we had Chad list our home, and he sold it in 10 days! His professionalism, sensitivity to our needs, and market understanding are absolutely second to none Chad connected us with his corporate EXP marketing network and conducted all showings and communication with prospective buyers and agents personally In addition to being a licensed real estate agent, Chad is a certified financial planner with an MBA in business We're happy to recommend Chad without reservation and are confident he will perform exceptionally for you and he has for us”

“Our agent, Jocelyn, was great. She worked with us very closely and was able to quickly answer any questions we had and to help resolve any issues that came up. She's the best and my family was very fortunate to have her by our side when it came to the unpleasant task of trying to sell a piece of real estate, which was given to us due to the recent passing of our mother. Thanks again!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Lolli! Our purchase was an unusually complicated transaction with multiple unexpected hurdles, and we honestly don’t know if we would have made it to the finish line without her. From the complicated title issues to unpredicted appraisal and lending delays, extensions, and a seller who was pushing to terminate the deal, she remained calm, proactive, and incredibly persistent throughout the entire process. She was always one step ahead, communicated clearly, and never made us feel like we were navigating the situation alone. What stood out most was how hard she fought for us. She didn’t just facilitate the transaction—she genuinely advocated for our family and our best interests every step of the way. Even when things became stressful and uncertain, she kept working toward solutions and never gave up. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly go to bat for you, Lolli is your agent!”

“I had an excellent experience working with Alfred to sell my home. He helped me get the house sold in just one month, which was very impressive. From start to finish, he guided me through the entire process, answered my questions, and provided great advice every step of the way. I’m very glad I made the decision to work with Alfred. His knowledge, communication, and professionalism made the process much easier and gave me confidence that I was making the right decisions. I would highly recommend Alfred to anyone planning to sell their home. If you’re looking for a realtor who knows what he’s doing and will be there to guide you through the process, Alfred is a great choice.”

“I can’t say enough great things about working with Nancy and her team. Nancy recently handled the sale of my childhood home in Newport Beach. This was a Probate sale and was very emotional for me. Nancy was so supportive and kind. She was always available to answer my questions and provide me with advice. She generated multiple offers on my home immediately and we closed escrow in less than a month. I would highly recommend Nancy Andreason. I plan on using her services in the new future to sell another home in Corona del Mar. Thank you so much Nancy!”
