Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Salinas home values have moved higher, with the typical home value up about 4 percent in this rolling three-month view. Homes sold also climbed by roughly 15 percent versus a year ago, showing stronger closed-sale activity despite only a slight uptick in active listings.
This recent three-month snapshot shows just 1.5 months of supply, down sharply from a year earlier and signaling limited inventory relative to demand. Even with that tight supply, the median list price is only marginally higher than last year, suggesting prices are rising but not surging.
Homes are also changing hands more quickly, with median days on market down about a week compared with last year and nearly half of sales closing above list price. With the average sale-to-list ratio essentially at 100 percent and many properties moving in just over two weeks, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an experienced local agent, and Agent Pronto can help them find the right one.

“I met Alicia at an open house, and she was friendly and approachable from the start. She took the time to show me around, answer my questions, and offer helpful suggestions on what to look for in a home. I appreciated her insight and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her!”
“I worked with Megan twice: first when I bought my home, and again six years later when I sold it. Both times she was outstanding. When I was buying, Megan asked a lot of thoughtful questions to understand what I actually needed and wanted, and she came with me to every showing. She paid attention to how I felt about each house we saw and based her recommendations on my reactions, which helped us zero in on the right place. She also suggested areas I hadn’t considered and was incredibly informative about the different builders and neighborhoods, which helped me feel confident in my decision. When a relocation meant I had to sell, I wasn’t going to be in the area to handle the details. Megan took care of everything for me, from start to finish. She arranged the inspection, the stager, and the cleaners, so I didn’t have to coordinate any of it from a distance. When an incident the day before closing required a repair, she handled that too. My house sold in just 6 days, and we received a little more than the asking price. I can’t recommend Megan highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly looks out for you, she’s the one to call.”
“I had a great experience working with Jonathan to sell my home. I truly appreciate all his hard work, time, and effort in making the process go as smoothly as possible. Jonathan was helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Selling a home can be stressful, but having someone I could trust made a big difference. I’m very grateful for all his help, guidance, and dedication. I would definitely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Jonathan, for everything!”
“We had a great experience working with Tammie! She has helped us buy and sell homes over the years, and we truly appreciate her support. She is knowledgeable, patient, honest, and always available to answer our questions. She genuinely cares about her clients and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Tammie!”
“Max was instrumental in selling our home because of his knowledge and experience of real estate. He was very informative and available to answer all our questions. He kept us up to date with every potential client/buyer walk through. He paid very good attention in details to help sell the house and with the sellers contract. We are very pleased with the outcome.”
“I can’t express enough how amazing Ricardo was in helping me sell my property during foreclosure. He stepped in right away, contacting my lender to get the process started and quickly negotiating to secure enough time to avoid the Trustee Sale. He also worked with my second loan and solar panel company to reach agreements, waive late fees, and arrange a highly favorable deal that truly benefited me. I don’t have the right words to describe how grateful I am for the way Ricardo and his team handled my foreclosure. They were always there for me during these difficult times, making me feel at ease. I trusted them completely, and they did not disappoint. I now see Ricardo as family. He’s been there for me with empathy and support, and I can’t thank him enough. When I felt there were no more options and no one wanted to help, he came in and saved the day, giving me a second chance avoid foreclosure and rescue all of my equity. He was always honest and transparent, keeping me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Ricardo and his team—they embody professionalism, integrity, and honesty. Thank God, I found him; I don’t know what I would have done without his help and guidance.”
“When I decided too sell my home I explored the idea of listing it myself since homes in my neighborhood tend to sell easily and fast. After meeting with 3 different realty groups I decided to go with Samples Realty Group not wanting to deal with everything involved in selling it myself. I made the right choice. Michelle and David were very professional and helpful from signing the listing agreement to passing on the keys to the buyer. I was already in process of driving to my new home across the country when the listing started. They were very helpful in dealing with any issues that came up and helped keep the place in top showing condition. We decided that staging the home was the best thing to do and it proved to be the case. Their stager was excellent and it really brightened the home and showed off it's possibilities. In the end, I sold in a week and at a very attractive price. I highly recommend you consider Michelle and David.”
“Mike and Travis did an incredible job with every aspect of selling my home. Their expertise, communication, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence made the process smooth and successful from beginning to end. I felt comfortable and confident that I was in great hands the minute I met them. Speaking of hands, they are not afraid to get their hand dirty. I highly recommend Mike and Travis Real Estate Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Five stars all the way! *****”
“Jaime Fernandez was instrumental in helping us sell my aunt’s property in Oxnard after it went through probate. Even though we were selling the property "as is" since we were on a time crunch to pay off the reverse mortgage, Jaime and his team really showed off the property with the virtual staging which got the property a lot of visible traffic on-line. Monica and Camila on Jaime’s team are very pleasant and resourceful and made sure the little details were taken care of along the way. Jaime was in constant contact with me to assure everything ran smoothly from checking in on me while the property was going through probate, to listing the property, to the short 20-day escrow. He was always available for any questions I had and helped me feel at ease through the whole process. I highly recommend working with Jaime Fernandez to help you sell your home.”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Rachel Graham on our home purchase. The entire process was incredibly smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. She was responsive (to my many many questions), knowledgeable, and stayed on top of every detail to help us successfully close in just 8 days! We really appreciated the clear communication and guidance throughout the process. Everything moved quickly without ever feeling chaotic or rushed. We would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a realtor who is professional and dependable.”
“Alfredo did an outstanding job assisting me with the sale of my townhouse. He was very quick in helping get the property ready for showings and helped keep the entire process stress free thanks to his knowledge and responsiveness throughout. I definitely will not hesitate to use Alfredo again or to recommend him to my family and friends.”
“Fantastic customer service and support from David Couch! Our father passed, leaving my family with a home to sell that was in need of a lot of work. We feared hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs and renovations to make it market worthy. Dave worked tirelessly to come up with innovative options and outside the box approaches to the sale. He made countless personal visits, spent hours online and with potential buyers, and put his professional reputation on the line to secure the best possible options for my family. Dave reconciled outstanding mortgage concerns and personally helped us to avoid foreclosure. His personal touch and tenacity led to a sale that saved the property and provided my family with a financial windfall. Dave treated us like his own personal family and when we ran into issues with some of the many players involved in closing the sale, he took accountability, and saw to it that those who were underperforming, were brought back to task. His loyalty, respect, and integrity are unparalleled. We recommend him without reservation. Trust him and you will not be disappointed. Thank you David Couch, you are the best!”
“can't recommend Omid enough. He helped us get our first house. This time we were a little more picky with the zipcodes, schools, size of the backyard etc. Right from the get go, Omid helped set up a customized mis alert which was very helpful to track new and sometimes even off market listings. I dont think he ever sleeps because whenever we messaged him we got a response within a minute. Also I have never heard "no" for any of our requests. He either finds an alternative or makes sure he is able to take care of it. He is also very resourceful in finding recommendations for contractors, handyman, inspections, insurance etc.”
“Jenni is great. Very accommodating. Had an amazing experience working with our realtor! She was knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail helped us find the perfect home. We are so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Candace Colton did an outstanding job as my realtor in purchasing my new home. She guided me in every step of the way, was friendly and professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. I really appreciate how available and present she was for me whenever I needed her for anything. I found her to be very reliable and knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate transactions. I highly recommend Candace to anyone needing an excellent real estate agent. Thank you Candace, for all your help in getting me into my new home! Tara B.”
“We cannot recommend Harpreet highly enough! As first-time homebuyers, we went into this process with a lot of excitement but also plenty of questions and uncertainty. From day one, Harpreet made us feel completely at ease. We knew immediately that we were in amazing hands. Throughout the entire journey, Harpreet was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. No question was ever too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. She consistently went above and beyond to guide us through every step, explain every decision, and advocate for our best interests. What truly stood out was the level of care and dedication she brought to the process. At every stage, we felt informed, supported, and protected. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Harpreet made it feel seamless and exciting. Her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail gave us confidence from start to finish. Thanks to Harpreet, we not only found a home we love, but we also had an experience that exceeded every expectation. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for us and feel fortunate to have met someone who cares so deeply about her clients. If you’re looking for a realtor who will treat your home search as if it were her own, Harpreet is the one. Thank you for making our dream a reality!”
“Dylan is incredible! He is truly excellent at what he does. We still can’t believe we were able to buy our first home in our dream location, and it’s all thanks to him. He is so patient with his clients, and because he’s a handyman himself, his knowledge of home repairs was invaluable during our tours. He helped us feel confident in every decision we made. Rest assured, he is the best!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Jess Danielle throughout the entire selling and escrow process! Jess was always available for answering questions as well as providing solid business counsel on how to address the issues related to selling a home. Jess definitely went "above and beyond" to make the sale complete, all the while maintaining her demeanor with dedicated professionalism. I would highly recommend Jess to those who are seeking to sell their home!”
“Robin was a dream agent. She was very professional and attentive to every detail in the long process of updating and selling a Gilroy country property with an older (very vintage) home. We were so fortunate that she was able to help us for over a year with invaluable advice, ideas, and referrals for a number of upgrades. Selling a parent’s property was an emotional undertaking and Robin was always patient and understanding during the many ups and downs of the process. We really enjoyed working with Robin and she earned every penny of her commission.”
