What This Means
San Clemente's housing market is showing some classic spring momentum this March, with sales volume nearly doubling from February as buyers emerge from winter hibernation. That said, the year-over-year picture tells a different story—we're down 15 percent in sales and nearly 7 percent in median price compared to last year. This suggests that while seasonal demand is kicking in, the market remains softer than it was in early 2025. The modest uptick in days on market, now at 65 days, reinforces that homes aren't flying off shelves the way they did previously.
What's encouraging is the strong sale-to-list ratio of 98.1 percent, meaning homes are selling very close to asking price. This indicates that while inventory isn't scarce, it's reasonably balanced. However, active listings are building at 126 homes with a median asking price of $2.56 million—significantly higher than what homes are actually selling for. This gap suggests some sellers may be slow to adjust expectations to current conditions.
Overall, San Clemente appears to be in a steady but cautious market. Buyers are returning, but they're not desperate, which keeps pricing pressure modest. If you're selling, expect realistic timelines; if you're buying, you still have negotiating room.
