What the numbers say
- At September's pace, the 530 homes for sale would sell in about 3.1 months. That favors sellers: there are more buyers than homes. Good homes get offers fast, so buyers do best with a pre-approval in hand before they tour.
- The middle home sold for its full asking price or more.
- Homes are selling about as fast as in September 2025.
- A condo or townhome sold for a median of $425,000, about 38% less than a house at $690,000.
- The median house sold for $690,000, under Riverside County's 2026 loan limit of $832,750. A loan up to that limit is a standard (conforming) loan.
