-
Cities like Fontana (+2.2%), Chino Hills (+2.0%), and Rialto (+1.9%) are still seeing steady growth, while Ontario (-3.5%) and Jurupa Valley (-2.2%) offer some nice buying opportunities.

Homes Are Still Moving
-
Detached homes are taking about 35 days to sell (up from 26 days a year ago).

Condos/townhomes are averaging 41 days — so you’ve got just enough time to think… but not too long to hesitate!
-
Quickest markets? Rancho Cucamonga (28 days) and Rialto (26 days) — blink and you’ll miss ’em!

Inventory Is Growing — and That’s Good for Buyers!
-
There are 2,054 homes on the market across the region, up 26% from last year.
-
Riverside leads with 545 homes available, followed by Ontario (275) — so there’s more to choose from and less competition. ??
-
The “months of sales” ratio (how long it would take to sell everything) is at 2.5 months, still signaling a balanced market — not too hot, not too cold.
Sellers Are Listening
-
Homes are selling right around asking price (-0.1% discount on average).

Translation? You’ve got room to negotiate, especially on condos where discounts are a bit higher
