Median Sale Price
The middle price point of homes that sold in a given period. Tracks whether values are rising, falling, or holding steady.
Days on Market (DOM)
How long homes are sitting before going under contract. Low DOM signals a seller's market; high DOM signals buyer leverage.
List-to-Sale Ratio

Is the Southern California real estate market strong right now?
The Southern California market remains one of the most dynamic in the nation - driven by strong employment anchors in entertainment, technology, healthcare, international trade, and professional services. That said, conditions vary significantly by county, price range, and property type. We recommend reviewing county-specific data and connecting with Andy for a current assessment tailored to your goals.
Which Southern California counties have the most inventory?
Inventory levels shift seasonally and cyclically. For current inventory levels by area, connect with Andy for a live market snapshot.
Are homes selling above asking price in Southern California?
In competitive price ranges and popular neighborhoods, yes - multiple offer situations and above-list-price sales occur regularly, particularly in the $500K–$1.2M range across the region. In higher price ranges or less competitive areas, list-to-sale ratios may sit closer to or below 100%. The specific neighborhood and price point determine the answer.
How do I know if it's a good time to sell in Southern California?
Market timing depends on local conditions, your home's price point, your neighborhood's inventory level, and your personal timeline. Generally, lower inventory relative to demand means better seller leverage. Connect with Andy at /contact-andy for a personalized analysis of current conditions in your specific area.
