As I type the September's Market Update Report, the Caldor Fire is about 90% contained. This past week we've seen a lot of new listings coming up on the market. I believe this is just the inventory that was being held back for the past few weeks while the Caldor fire was very active and evacuation orders were in effect. The market is still active but a little softer than a couple of months ago.

In August our current inventory was approximately the same amount as it was in the same month last year. However, that's still about 60% lower than prior years, pre-pandemic. There were only 43 new listings coming up on the market last month, compared to 150 new listings in September last year. The median sales price in August was up 25% compared to the same month last year, while the number of closed sales was down 65% .
