Fullerton Market Metrics — August

Brea Market Metrics — August

  • Median Price: $1,362,429

Key Takeaways

Homes priced right are moving quickly. The drop in days on market from 21 to just 12 in Fullerton tells you everything — when pricing is strategic, buyers respond fast.

The sweet spot right now is homes between $1M and $1.5M. Properties in this range are performing best, while those above $1.6M are experiencing slower sales and more negotiation.

What We're Seeing on the Ground

  • Fewer multiple offer situations
  • More room for buyer negotiation, especially in luxury segments
  • Sellers offering concessions to attract qualified buyers
  • New listings slowing down, which may tighten inventory heading into fall

What This Means for You

Buyers: If you've been waiting, this is a strong moment. With rates trending down and sellers willing to negotiate, you have leverage that wasn't available earlier this year.

Sellers: Price your home based on current comps, not what your neighbor sold for six months ago. The market is rewarding realistic pricing with fast sales.
