What This Means
Walnut's housing market is showing some encouraging spring momentum, though with a notably mixed picture underneath. Median prices climbed 4.4% month-over-month to just under $1.21 million, and we're up 8.9% year-over-year, suggesting the market has found some footing after softer conditions last year. More importantly, homes are moving faster—down from 83 days on market to 68—which typically indicates improving buyer interest as we head deeper into the traditional spring selling season. Sellers are also getting nearly full ask at 98.2%, which suggests reasonable pricing discipline across the board.
However, the year-over-year sales volume dropped 35.5%, which is the real story here. We went from roughly 31 sales last April to just 20 this month, signaling that while the homes that do sell are performing better, there simply aren't as many buyers pulling the trigger. With 106 active listings sitting at a median ask of $1.37 million and averaging 93 days unsold, there's meaningful inventory sitting on shelves. This disconnect—faster sales but fewer total transactions—likely reflects California's persistent affordability challenges and higher mortgage rates keeping some buyers sidelined. Walnut remains a solid market, but it's clearly a seller's environment that still favors the patient.
