Southern California Home Prices Leveling Off as Sales Drop

CALIFORNIA, JUL 17 – June sales rose 4% from May, ending a three-month decline as mortgage rates eased and inventory normalized, yet sales remain slightly below last year, California Association of Realtors said.

  • The California Association of Realtors reported that single-family home sales rose 4% to 264,260 in June 2025 amid slowing overall market activity.
  • This increase followed months of declining sales and rising listings as buyers hesitated due to economic uncertainty and longer market times.
  • Median home prices slightly dipped 0.1% to $899,560 statewide in June, with Southern California counties showing mixed shifts including a 0.2% drop to $900,000 in Diego County.
  • Mortgage rates eased to an average 6.82% in June 2025, down from just over 7% a year earlier, making median mortgage payments $77 cheaper and aiding affordability.
  • As listings rise and sellers accept lower prices, experts anticipate a more balanced market with increased negotiating power for buyers and moderated price growth ahead.
