Year-Over-Year Comparison

Compared to March 2025, the median sale price is 2.3% down (from $430,000 to $420,000). Sales volume is 28.5% down year-over-year.

What This Means

Stockton's housing market is showing some interesting mixed signals heading into spring. Sales volume surged 32 percent month-over-month in March, which looks promising on the surface, but the year-over-year comparison tells a different story—we're still down nearly 29 percent from March 2025. What's likely happening here is seasonal bounce-back; spring always brings more activity as families prepare for moves before school ends. However, the sustained annual decline suggests underlying softness that seasonal patterns alone can't explain.

The pricing picture is similarly conflicted. While the median price ticked up 2.7 percent to $420,000 from February, it's actually down 2.3 percent annually. What's encouraging is that homes are selling quickly—averaging 83 days on market, down from 96 days a month ago—and at a healthy 98.9 percent of list price. This indicates real demand from serious buyers, not a desperate market flooding with discounted inventory.

The real concern is the growing gap between asking and selling prices. With 857 active listings sitting at a $495,000 median ask, sellers are still pricing optimistically while the market clears at $420,000. That's a meaningful disconnect that could mean further price adjustments ahead if inventory continues to sit.
