What This Means
Alhambra's real estate market is sending mixed signals this March. While median prices continue climbing—up 11.7% month-over-month to $950,000—buyer activity has noticeably cooled, with sales dropping 16% from February and down a significant 32% year-over-year. This divergence suggests we're in a classic seller's market correction. Homes are still selling above list price (102% ratio), indicating underlying demand, but fewer transactions overall point to buyers becoming more selective or priced out at current levels.
The growing inventory and lengthening days on market tell the real story. Active listings jumped to 132 units, and homes now spend an average of 94 days finding buyers, up from 81 days last month. This is the opposite of the typical spring surge we'd expect in late March, when seasonal demand usually kicks in. Higher interest rates and the psychological impact of crossing the million-dollar threshold are likely keeping many would-be buyers on the sidelines.
For sellers, the news is moderately positive but patience is required. You'll still get competitive pricing, but you can't assume a quick sale anymore. Buyers finally have some leverage again after years of being shut out, making this perhaps the most balanced market Alhambra has seen in quite some time.
