Oak Valley’s rolling three-month data through September 2026 shows prices holding roughly steady compared with a year earlier. The typical home value is almost unchanged year over year, even as the median list price is up around 7 to 8 percent. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up about a third from last year’s pace.
Looking more closely at recent conditions, inventory has thinned considerably over the past year, with active listings down by roughly two-thirds, yet months of supply has surged to about 6.4 months, signaling a clear shift toward a buyer’s market. Sales activity has cooled sharply in this rolling three-month window, as homes sold and pending sales have each fallen more than 75 percent year over year, and new listings are also down by nearly 40 percent, pointing to fewer transactions overall.
Even in a softer demand environment, many sellers are still achieving strong outcomes. About two-thirds of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just above 102 percent, indicating that well-priced homes can still attract solid offers. With homes staying on the market longer and supply conditions favoring negotiation, buyers have more room to be selective while sellers must stand out on pricing and presentation.
