What This Means
San Bernardino's housing market is showing signs of modest cooling as we head into summer. While median prices have held relatively steady compared to last month, sales volume dropped 15.1% from April, and homes are now sitting on the market about a week longer at 90 days. This slight slowdown is fairly typical for the region heading into the warmer months, though it's worth noting that inventory has grown to 612 active listings, giving buyers more options than they had earlier in the spring.
The year-over-year picture tells a more encouraging story for the market's long-term health. Median prices are up 2.1% since May 2025, and sales volume has grown 3.3%, suggesting San Bernardino continues to attract buyers despite broader economic headwinds. The sale-to-list price ratio of 99.2% indicates sellers still have leverage, though barely, and properties are moving at realistic prices rather than commanding premiums.
What's particularly interesting is the gap between active listings' median asking price of $513,808 and actual sales at $494,999. This $19,000 spread suggests some sellers may be overpricing their homes relative to market conditions. As inventory levels rise, buyers can afford to be choosier, making the upcoming months critical for homeowners considering a sale.
