Southern California Housing Market Forecast
According to the California Association of REALTORS, March 2026 showed fluctuating patterns for existing, single-family homes across the state. Across Southern California, there was a 3% increase in year-over-year home sales. The median home price saw a 0.3% increase year-over-year, reaching around $880,000 in March.
While a modest gain, it indicates that prices are no longer skyrocketing or falling significantly. Overall, it is a sign of a market that is trying to find its equilibrium.
Looking toward the rest of the year, prices are expected to continue their trend of modest, steady growth. If economic conditions continue to stabilize, inflation remains in check and if mortgage rates begin to ease consecutively, sales volume could see an uptick.
