“I previously used Jeffry Phillips to sell a house I inherited. It was a very emotional time and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave suggestions of things that could be done to the house prior to selling it. Because that experience was so positive and he was so professional I utilized his services when it was time for me to sell my house. When it came time to sell my home, he was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Garfield Ridge neighborhood. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends family, and neighbors if they are buying or selling a house.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Spring Valley currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a seller’s market even as conditions are shifting. Months of supply has climbed to 6.7 in the latest rolling three-month period, far above the 1.9 months seen a year earlier. At the same time, the median days on market has dropped to 46 days, slightly faster than the 49-day pace last year.
Prices and listing activity point to a market in transition. The typical home value over the past three months is about one-third lower than a year ago, while the median list price is up modestly year over year. Active listings have increased more than 20 percent compared with last year’s rolling period, and new listings are up nearly 45 percent, giving buyers more options than before.
Sales trends show softer demand but some recent pickup in activity. Homes sold in the latest three-month window are down sharply from a year ago, and none of the recent sales closed above list price, compared with half doing so in the same period last year. Even so, pending sales are holding roughly steady year over year, and the average sale-to-list ratio has ticked up in recent months. With pricing, speed, and negotiation power all shifting, both buyers and sellers in Spring Valley can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent.
