How’s the Market, Michelle? | SoCal Market Update July 2026 – Buyers Have Time 🏡

Southern California’s real estate market is becoming more balanced as active buyers take their time in today’s housing market. 📊 Southern California’s July 2026 housing trends are showing a healthier, more balanced pace. Buyers are still active, homes are still selling, and each county is creating a different kind of opportunity. 🎬 In this episode of “How’s the Market, Michelle?” I’m breaking down June 2026’s finalized single-family home data for Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange, and San Bernardino counties in simple, relatable terms. 🏡 Across the Southern California real estate market, buyers are viewing more homes and taking additional time before making offers. That doesn’t mean demand has disappeared. It means today’s housing market is rewarding thoughtful decisions, realistic pricing, and strong preparation. Here’s what stood out: 👀 Los Angeles County buyers remained engaged, while the market moved closer to neutral with 3.8 months of inventory. 🌴 Riverside County home values held steady near $755,000, with homes averaging about 45 days on the market. 🍊 Orange County continued to show strong confidence, with an average sales price near $2 million and homes selling in about 27 days. 🏔️ San Bernardino County reached 4.6 months of inventory, giving buyers more selection and stronger opportunities to negotiate. 💭 My biggest takeaway is that this market is becoming more stable and predictable. Buyers have more room to compare homes, ask questions, and negotiate when appropriate. Sellers can still attract serious buyers, but pricing accurately and presenting the home well matter more than ever. Every county has its own rhythm, which is why local data matters more than broad national headlines. The best strategy isn’t trying to perfectly time the market. It’s understanding the market you’re in and making decisions that support your goals. ❤️ Like this video, share it with someone considering a move, and subscribe for monthly Southern California housing market updates. 🧰 Free Buyer & Seller Resources 👇 🏡 Current Southern California listings: https://michellehomesellingteam.com/s... 📈 Free Home Value: https://form.jotform.com/MichelleEsqu... 📞 15-minute consultation: https://michellehomesellingteam.com/s... 📍 Search by County: • Los Angeles County Homes: https://michellehomesellingteam.com/l... • Orange County Homes: https://michellehomesellingteam.com/l... • San Bernardino County Homes: https://michellehomesellingteam.com/l... • Riverside County Homes: https://michellehomesellingteam.com/l...
