🏡 Riverside Real Estate Market Update — October 2026

Let's take a look at what happened in our local housing market during the month of October.

First, let's talk about home prices.

The median sold price in Riverside was $650,000.

That's down from September's $679,800. We're seeing some movement in home prices, which is something both buyers and sellers should pay attention to.

Now, let's talk about how long homes are taking to sell.

The average days on market was 43 days, compared to 35 days in September.

What does this tell us?

Homes are taking a little longer to sell, and buyers may have more time to explore their options, compare properties, and negotiate.

For buyers, this could mean more opportunities. You may have some room to negotiate, especially on homes that have been sitting on the market for a while.

For sellers, this means pricing your home correctly from the beginning is more important than ever. Buyers are paying attention to value, condition, and location.

So, what's my advice?

If you're buying, don't be afraid to explore what's available. There may be opportunities worth taking advantage of.

If you're selling, don't guess what your home is worth. Let's look at what similar homes in your neighborhood are actually selling for.

And remember, Riverside is a large market, so numbers can vary depending on your neighborhood and type of property.

If you're thinking about buying, selling, or just curious about your home's current value, contact me. I'd be happy to help you understand your options.

What Does Escrow Actually Do?

Your offer was accepted, and now everyone keeps talking about escrow. But what does escrow actually do?

Think of escrow as a neutral third party that helps make sure the instructions of the purchase contract are completed before the transaction closes.

Once you're in escrow, there are several important steps happening behind the scenes.

The buyer's funds are handled according to the escrow instructions, the title work is completed, loan requirements are addressed, documents are prepared, and the necessary conditions for closing are coordinated.

The escrow process also helps make sure that the buyer's money and the property transfer don't happen until the agreed-upon requirements have been met.

When everything is completed, the transaction can close, and the buyer gets the keys! 🔑

The exact process and responsibilities can vary depending on the transaction and state, but the goal is the same:

To help everyone get from an accepted contract to a completed sale.

If you're buying or selling and escrow sounds confusing, don't worry. That's what your real estate team is there to help you understand.

A running toilet could be wasting up to 200 gallons of water a day!

— Don't Ignore It
💧 That little sound can add up. If your toilet keeps running, you may notice it on your next water bill.

— Check the Flapper
🔧 The flapper may be the problem. The rubber flapper inside the tank is a common culprit when a toilet won't stop running.

— Turn Off the Water
🚰 Before you start: Turn off the water using the shutoff valve located behind or beside the toilet. Then flush to empty the tank.

— Remove the Old Flapper
🔧 Take a picture first! Before removing the flapper, snap a quick photo of how it connects.
Not all flappers are the same!

— Replace It
🛠️ Take the old flapper with you. It makes finding the right replacement much easier.
Follow the instructions that come with the new one.

— Check the Chain
⛓️ Don't forget the chain! It needs to be the right length.
Too long → the toilet may not flush properly.
Too short → the flapper may not open completely.

💦 Stop the leak before it hits your wallet!A small toilet repair could help save water—and money.

So if your toilet has been running, don't just sit there on your throne! Take a few minutes to check that flapper and show that running toilet who's boss!” 😄

🏠 ADUs: COULD AN ADU ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME?

Thinking about adding an ADU to your property?

An ADU, or Accessory Dwelling Unit, is a separate living space that can provide additional flexibility for homeowners.

It could potentially be used for family, guests, rental income, or even a home office or additional living space.

And yes—an ADU can add value to a property.

But here's the important part:

Not every ADU adds the same amount of value.

Things like the location, size, design, quality of construction, permits, parking, and overall demand in your neighborhood can all matter.

And there's another important question:

Is the ADU properly permitted?

A permitted ADU can be very different from an un-permitted addition when it comes to selling, financing, and how buyers look at the property.

So before you spend money building an ADU, do your homework.

Check the local requirements, understand the costs, and talk with professionals who can help you determine whether the project makes financial sense.

Tip of the Day: Don't build an ADU simply because you heard it adds value. Build it because it makes sense for your property, your goals, and your market.

🏡 Riverside Real Estate Market Update — September 2026

So, what happened in the Riverside housing market during the month of September?

Let’s start with the number everyone wants to know — home prices.

The median sold price in Riverside was $679,800.

Now, what about how quickly homes are selling?

The average days on market was about 35 days.

So, homes are still selling, but buyers are taking a little more time to make their decisions. That makes pricing your home correctly from the beginning even more important.

For buyers, this can be good news. You may have a little more time to look at your options, compare homes, and negotiate when the situation allows.

For sellers, the message is simple: you can still get a good price for your home, but preparation and pricing matter. A home that shows well and is priced correctly is going to stand out.

And remember, these are Riverside-wide numbers. Your neighborhood, price range, property condition, and type of home can make a big difference.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to know what your home may be worth in today’s market, contact me. I’d be happy to give you a more personalized look at what’s happening in your neighborhood.

SAVE MONEY WITH YOUR CEILING FAN

Did you know your ceiling fan can help you stay comfortable during the cooler months?

When you turn on your ceiling fan in fall and winter, make sure it’s rotating clockwise.

Why? Warm air naturally rises. Running your fan clockwise helps push that warm air back down into the room, helping your home feel more comfortable.

💡 Here’s the bonus: Running a ceiling fan uses relatively little electricity, and circulating warm air can help you get more comfort from the heat you're already paying for.

Tip of the Day: Before you turn up the thermostat, check your ceiling fan setting!

Look for the small switch on your fan that changes the direction of the blades.

Save this tip for later and share it with another homeowner! 🏡

🏡 What You Should Know About the Home Inspection

Found the home you love? Before you get the keys, there's an important step you don't want to skip.

One of the important steps in the home-buying process is the home inspection.

An inspection gives you an opportunity to learn more about the condition of the home before you complete your purchase.

A qualified inspector may look at things like the roof, plumbing, electrical system, heating and cooling, foundation, windows, and other accessible areas.

Now, here's something important:

An inspection isn't about finding a perfect house.

Every home can have something that needs attention.

The purpose is to understand what you're buying and identify potential concerns so you can make informed decisions.

Depending on your purchase contract and applicable deadlines, you may have options if significant issues are discovered.

And remember, your inspection is different from an appraisal.

The inspection looks at the condition of the home.

The appraisal helps determine its market value.

Understanding these steps can help you feel much more confident when you're buying a home.

Tip of the Day: Don't be afraid to ask questions during the inspection. This is your opportunity to learn about your future home.

📊 Riverside Market Update — August Stats

Let’s take a quick look at what happened in the Riverside real estate market during August.

The market continues to give us an interesting mix of opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

For buyers, there are homes to choose from, and in some situations, sellers may be more open to negotiating or offering credits toward closing costs.

For sellers, this is a reminder that pricing your home correctly is more important than ever. Buyers are paying attention to value, condition, and monthly payment.

So, what does this mean for you?

It really depends on your individual situation. The market isn't exactly the same for every home or every neighborhood.

Tip of the Day: Don't make a real estate decision based only on headlines. Look at what's happening in your specific neighborhood.

If you're thinking about buying, selling, or just want to know what your home may be worth, give me a call. I'd be happy to help you understand the numbers
