Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Hillcrest’s rolling three-month numbers show notable year-over-year price growth. The typical home value is up about 14 percent, while the median list price has climbed more than 25 percent compared with a year ago. At the same time, homes are taking far less time to sell than last year.
Looking at the latest three-month window through July 2026, buyers are seeing a typical home value around $335,000 and a median list price near $391,000. Inventory sits at 40 active listings with about 4.9 months of supply, which is much higher than a year ago even though the market still tilts toward sellers.
Sales activity over this rolling period has cooled from last year, with homes sold down nearly 30 percent and pending sales also lower year over year. Yet demand for well-priced homes is evident, as nearly 73 percent of recent sales closed above the list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under full asking. Homes are going under contract quickly, with a median of only 10 days on the market. With these mixed signals of rising prices, slower sales counts, and strong buyer interest, both buyers and sellers in Hillcrest can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with an experienced local agent.

“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 don't know if it's fair to write a review about Chad because words really won't do the justice. When it comes to Realtor, they're very few that I find that can make it professional but also same time personable. This is the second home we've ised Chad in the past five years and there's nobody else we'd ever want to use.”

“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!”

“Words cannot fully express my deepest gratitude for April Hugh of Century 21 Masters. April's patience never wavered through home buying process. She was intentional in treating my dream of homeownership with the utmost care, respect, and expertise. This wasn't just a business transaction, it was a life-changing milestone she helped me reach. Her knowledge of the VA Loan was key. Her constant reassurance kept me grounded through all the stress. I chose April, because of her continued support to helping Military, Veterans, and First Responders, find their way home. If you are looking for an agent who operates with true integrity, deep empathy, and remains committed to their clients after closing, then look no further than April Hugh.”

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who generally cares about her clients.”

“Real fun to work with”
Century 21 Peak
“Our Mom had recently passed and needed to sell her home in Lancaster, CA. I have known Amy for a long time and quite familair with her real estate knowledge and skill. However, being that it was so far away from where she is based, we weren't sure she could help us. Amy assured us (My Brother and Sister-in-law) that the distance would not be an issue. She was right! As soon as we started with Amy, everthing went very smooth, fast and easier than we had anticipated. Amy is very knowledgeable, experienced, professional and always accessible if we had any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend Amy to friends and family members for any real estate needs.”

“Working with Angelina was one of the best decisions I made throughout the home buying process. From day one, she struck the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine personal care. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always took the time to make sure I understood every step of the process. What impressed me most was how available she was. No matter the time or situation, I always felt like I was her number one client. She responded quickly, stayed ahead of potential issues, and never left me wondering what came next. She was also incredibly aggressive when it mattered most. Whether it was negotiating, coordinating with other parties, or solving last-minute challenges, she did whatever was needed in the moment to keep things moving forward and protect my interests. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, hardworking, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients long after the transaction is over.”
