What This Means

Tulare's housing market is sending mixed signals this March. On the surface, things look energetic—sales jumped 53 percent from February, and the median price climbed nearly 19 percent to $387,500. That kind of month-over-month bounce is typical spring seasonality, as buyers emerge from winter and sellers list their homes. The fact that homes are selling at 99.2 percent of asking price suggests there's still decent buyer interest and pricing pressure, at least for the moment.

However, the year-over-year picture tells a different story. Sales are down 38 percent compared to March 2025, and the median price has actually slipped 4.3 percent annually. This suggests the market has cooled significantly from where it stood a year ago, likely due to persistent mortgage rates that remain elevated by historical standards. The jump in days on market from 85 to 107 days month-over-month is another red flag—homes are lingering longer, which usually indicates softening demand relative to supply.

The 206 active listings with a median asking price of $419,225 give buyers more room to negotiate than they've had in years. Tulare remains an affordable pocket of California, but the market's losing momentum. This is a buyer-friendly moment compared to last year, even if the spring surge feels encouraging.
