Year-over-year, Walnut Creek’s rolling three-month numbers show prices easing slightly while activity cools. The typical home value is down a bit from last year, with median sale prices off around 2 percent. Listing prices have followed a similar path, dipping a little over 2 percent compared with the same period a year ago.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month window through September 2026, inventory and pace point to a firm seller’s market, though conditions are looser than in past years. Months of supply has risen to about 2.5 months, up roughly 11 percent from last year, and homes now take a median of 33 days to sell, about a week longer than a year ago.
Demand has softened somewhat, with homes sold down just over 3 percent year-over-year and pending sales off almost 7 percent, while new listings slipped slightly. Even with that shift, pricing power remains solid, as the average sale-to-list ratio is around 100 percent and about one-third of recent sales closed above the asking price, a modest increase from a year ago. Buyers face more time to choose but still compete for well-priced homes, and sellers must price carefully in a market that no longer moves as quickly as before; Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an experienced Walnut Creek agent who understands these nuances.
