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

Palm Desert is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market despite signs of easing. A typical home value around $610,000 is up roughly 6% year over year in this rolling three-month view, pointing to steady price growth even as conditions cool.

Inventory and activity trends help explain this balance. Active listings are slightly lower than a year ago, while homes sold have inched up a bit, and months of supply sits at about 5.3 months, suggesting more options than in the recent past but not an oversupplied market.

Buyer leverage has improved in some ways, as homes are taking longer to sell with a median of about 99 days on market and the share selling above list price holding under 10%. Even so, the average sale-to-list ratio near 96% shows sellers are still achieving prices close to their asking amounts, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

“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!”

“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.”

“It was a pleasure working with Yana and learning from her real estate market insights.

“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!”
