What This Means

San Juan Capistrano's housing market is showing signs of cooling this March, with some notable headwinds that suggest buyers are becoming more selective. The median price dropped a sharp 24 percent month-over-month to $1.22 million, while sales volume ticked down slightly from 29 to 27 homes. More telling is the rise in days on market—homes are now sitting for an average of 62 days, up nearly 15 percent from February. This slowdown likely reflects a combination of seasonal factors (spring inventory typically brings more competition) and the lingering effects of higher mortgage rates, which continue to dampen buyer enthusiasm even in traditionally strong coastal markets.

The silver lining is that homes are still selling at 98.2 percent of list price, indicating they're priced fairly and there's genuine demand underneath. However, the growing gap between active listings (90 homes) and monthly sales suggests we're moving toward a more balanced market. Sellers appear to be testing the waters with higher asking prices—the median listing price sits at $1.49 million—but patience may be required. If you're selling, pricing competitively from the start will matter more than it did a few months ago. Buyers, meanwhile, have regained some negotiating power for the first time in years.
