Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Imperial County real estate market. *
June 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
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 (Jun 2026).
Homes are changing hands steadily across Imperial County, with 61 sales in June and another 116 homes going under contract. Buyers had 297 active listings to choose from, a touch fewer than last month and slightly below a year ago. New listings dipped month over month, which keeps inventory from building too quickly.
Prices are responding to this steady demand. The typical home value reached about $416,000 in June, up more than 11 percent from a year earlier, while the median list price is also higher than last year. Compared with California overall, where the median sale price is around $778,000, Imperial County remains a more affordable option even as local values climb.
Speed and negotiation dynamics show a market that leans toward sellers but still gives buyers some room. Months of supply has tightened to 3.5, down sharply from a year ago, and about 35 percent of homes are now selling above list with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 99 percent. At the same time, the median 42 days on market means many listings are not disappearing overnight, giving buyers time to weigh options. Whether you are aiming to stand out as a seller or compete effectively as a buyer, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who knows how to navigate these conditions.
Imperial County offers residents a unique blend of outdoor recreation, thriving agricultural livelihoods, affordable living, and a close-knit community committed to opportunity and resilience.
Imperial County offers a distinct desert lifestyle that feels far more open and agricultural than nearby coastal metros. Communities like El Centro, Brawley, and Calexico combine wide horizons, working farms, and binational connections with Mexicali, giving daily life here a pace and culture you will not find in San Diego or Palm Springs.
Residents enjoy local staples such as Bucklin Park in El Centro and access to the unique landscapes of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area. The Imperial Valley Mall and independent favorites like Sofia’s Kitchen in El Centro add shopping and dining variety without losing the county’s small city feel. Families look to resources such as Imperial Unified School District and the El Centro Carnegie Library for education and enrichment.
Commuters value straightforward access along Interstate 8 to larger job centers, while those stationed or working near Naval Air Facility El Centro appreciate nearby housing options in a range of price points. Longtime residents and new arrivals alike often weigh tradeoffs between larger lots in places like Imperial and more urban amenities in El Centro or cross border convenience in Calexico.
With evolving prices, new construction, and shifting demand in agricultural and logistics jobs, timing your move or sale in Imperial County matters. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local real estate professional who understands the market conditions and helps you prepare with confidence.

“Lolli is wonderful. Worked with her twice now, and would do so again. She is communcative, knowledgable, kind and hard working. I trusted her to handle almost all aspects of selling my house, as I was living across the country at the time. She organized cleanup, repairs, staging, photos and everything else. Even picked up a package I had accidently sent to the house. Thank you for everything Lolli!”
“Very attentive, on time, sharp with knowledge of the process from showing to closing Excellent customer service”

Thanks to her strategic approach, we received multiple offers very quickly and felt confident that our home sale was in the best hands. We would not hesitate to recommend Gabby to our family and friends.”
“I highly recommend Carrie Haworth. She is a wonderful realtor; she's professional, knowledgeable, and cares for her clients.”
“Andrew was fantastic from start to finish. He was available at all times, communicative, and always had our best interest in mind. He was patient in helping us find our home after one month of searching. He was incredibly knowledgeable and professinal throughout this entire process. We were extremely happy working with him and will absolutely reccomend and use him again for future home purchases.”

“Working with Jason was easy. He made this sale seamless.”

She worked incredibly well with a myriad of inspectors and vendors, while paying strict attention and tracking every detail. And, she’s a lovely person, to boot! I highly recommend working with Denise, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Thanks, Denise!!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Amy Mosley. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process, but she made everything feel much easier with her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. What stood out most was how she managed the necessary preparations to get the place in the best salable condition. Being out of state I was so impressed with her commitment to direct the necessary upgrades, which ended up to be a huge job. She listened to my needs, kept me informed, and made sure I felt comfortable with each decision along the way. Her expertise and dedication went far beyond simply selling a property, she strives to maximize the property market potential, and that proved to be true. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for an highly experienced and professional real estate agent who genuinely cares about her clients and delivers exceptional results.”
“Zack stayed on top of everything , from my lenders to the underwriter , had a rough experience with them , but he was excellent”
“Justin is the agent you need. This is my second time with him and he's just getting better. The quality and value and experience he has is unmatched. You need somebody that is going to fight for you, somebody that leaves no stone unturned and can give you peace of mind. We had several obstacles to overcome and he held my hand the whole time. He knows how to strategize, think on his feet, and he'll literally predict the entire process as you watch it play out in real time. He knows everybody in the business, but not just in his field. He has a "rolodex" of the best service providers (ie Handyman, Loan officers, Cleaning, landscaping, contractors, etc) who I've become close with all of them and use them still. Our challenges occured during the gov't shutdown. He stayed the course while the odds were against us. I have been referring clients to him for 15 years now. I trust him and he delivers and he cares. He not only earns his commish, he puts it to work FOR YOU. That's VALUE MY FRIENDS”
“Coming from a marketing backgound. Jack Ma's a methodical and analytical approach resonnated with me from the start. You may get lucky with one sale. But in the long run, a comprehensive plan yields more consistant results. I spoke with 2 other realtors before deciding to list with Jack Ma. The other realtors were nice enough and seemed familiar with my locality, but didn't present a thorough marketing plan. Ultimatly, that's what swayed me and Jack delivered! Highly recommended!”
“Joe Rivera is a very consistent and hard working agent. Although, we were in a tough market he persisted and never gave up and always had an enthusiastic and positive mentality. He never stopped until his mission was complete and gave great results. It was a pleasure working with him and cannot recommend enough! Thank you Mr. Joe Rivera, we will continue to work together and seek your services.”
“April is a true professional in every sense of the word. Her work ethic, communication skills, knowledge, expertise and care are second to none. If you are looking for the very best, look no further!”
“Joanna demonstrated exceptional proficiency in all matters that arose during our issue, consistently keeping us informed and engaged.”
“Working with Danny was a great experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. Thank you, Danny, for your guidance and dedication throughout the purchase of our property. We truly appreciate all of your hard work and highly recommend you to anyone looking for an excellent real estate agent!”
“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.”
“Absolutely love working with Lauren! She protects you as the buyer and ensures that you feel protected and safe and knowledgeable at all times. She will also do her best to get you the information that you need, she is extremely resourceful and highly professional at her job. Thanks again, Lauren for helping me find my home!”
