What the numbers say
- At September's pace, the 378 homes for sale would sell in about 5.7 months. That is close to a balanced market. Buyers have time to compare homes, and sellers still get fair offers.
- The middle home sold for about 3% under its last asking price, so buyers have room to negotiate.
- Homes are selling faster than a year ago: half sold within 44 days, against 59 days in September 2025.
- A condo or townhome sold for a median of $585,000, about 46% less than a house at $1,079,000.
- The median house sold for $1,079,000. Riverside County's 2026 loan limit is $832,750, and a loan above it is a jumbo loan.
