Price trend, inventory, and the negotiation meter
Daily-tracked ARMLS data for the six North Valley and Northeast Valley markets I work most: median list price, price per square foot, active inventory, sales volume, days on market, and sale-to-list ratio. Tracking started July 1, 2026, so trend lines will fill in day by day. No projections, just what the feed reports.

What the numbers can and cannot tell you
Valley-wide averages make headlines, but they rarely describe your home. The metro spans dozens of distinct submarkets, and a single median can hide wide differences between, say, a built-out central neighborhood and a newer community on the edge.
That is why I price to the live comparable sales for your specific area and home type, and why I will never hand you a Valley-wide figure and call it your answer. The data starts the conversation. Twenty-four years of reading it finishes it.
What the analysts are writing
A curated shelf of industry and analyst sources, not headline outrage. Third-party links; their views are their own, and none of it is a prediction from this site.
