Moving is a big decision. Maybe you just want: less to maintain, lower monthly expenses, or the home just doesn’t fit. Being one of the largest financial decisions, you want to make sure you’re maximizing your sale price.

For most of us, our home is the largest asset we’ll ever own. You want to understand this asset and the market you are in. As you consider selling, you deserve the insight and guidance from an expert in your local market. Here are the top things to know about the Redlands real estate market right now:

Inventory and Demand

Summer always sees an increase in inventory, and Fall through winter a decrease, no difference this year. Redlands had only 163 active listings in April 2026, which is slightly higher than March 2026 at 146. With the inherently limited number of properties and consistently high demand, Redlands regularly sees a boost in sale prices. Fewer homes are listed than in years past; however, the Price per Square foot remains steady at $374, last year at this time, $390. The sale-to-list percentage (how close the actual sale price was to the original list price) decreased 1.1% month over month. Meaning homes sold for 1.1% less than their list price in median measurements. To capitalize on your investment, you want to work with a real estate expert who understands how to strategically price and market your home so you get maximum return.

Median Sale Price Change

When correctly priced and positioned well on the market, homes are selling at or above list price, often in only a few days on the market. We have seen price reductions of nearly 35% in the recent past, but not nearly that number currently. Those homes were priced higher than other properties in their area. In March 2026, the median sales price in Redlands was $692,750, as opposed to April at $642,000. Also, knowing that a median home value is the 3rd home that sold out of 5, not the average. You’ll want to work with a professional to assist you in strategically pricing your home to attract buyers who can and will make offers to buy.

We continue to See Homes Sell IF they are priced right

The market is TURNING. New Fed chairman Warsh, will replace Powell this Month. Many are expecting a loosening of the Fed’s hold on the economy and that the Real Estate market will be extremely HOT in the third quarter of the year, due to a reduction in interest rates and a lack of housing supply.  Remember, President Trump has restricted Corporate buyers of SFR. So mega corp buyers like Blackrock etc. are currently not able to compete with buyers. With the right strategic plan, pricing, and positioning for your property and goals, we can attract maximum offers and sell your home for the highest possible price in the fewest days on the market.

Looking Ahead  

Here’s what we’ll be watching over the coming months:

  1. Supply of Available Homes
    Redlands' inventory in April was 163 homes. About lower than March at 146, which is still considered low at only a 3.2 months supply. Several factors are keeping inventory low. Those who refinanced during the pandemic are reluctant to sell and give up that 2 or 3% interest rate. Also, building permits are expensive, as are construction materials. All while household formation continues to grow, with Millennials leading the way, even though they are buying at an older age. Sellers who work with an expert to properly position themselves on the market can generally expect to secure a nice return.
  2. Buyers Are Eagerly Searching
    Buyers are eager to scoop up the available inventory. The median days on market in April were 20 days! 15 days in March 2026. But remember, only 52 homes sold out of the 163 listings in April. That’s 32% of listings closed, which is EXTREMELY LOW. OK, yes - school is still in, Spring break was upon us, and the real estate market always slows at this time every year. With inventory as low as it is, and price per sqft steady, it’s a great time to sell. Regardless of what twists and turns the market takes, to truly maximize your return on investment, it’s crucial that you strategically position yourself as a seller.
  3. Continued Growth In Redlands
    As Inflation continues to improve. Gas prices high, but the futures market says gas will be down by Fall. Unemployment seems steady at 4.4%, but the QCEW (Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages) is expected to report that unemployment is higher than BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) has previously reported.  Of course, Interest rates are yet to improve, but they are never in a straight line, and especially not since we are at war with Iran. We are coming out of the slower part of the year, and Real Estate will ramp up quickly, we believe.

What to Expect When Selling Your Home

The market consistently evolves, and you deserve to sell for the highest possible price, no matter what. The right marketing strategy, pricing knowledge, and negotiation power are what make the difference when you’re ready to sell your home and embark on what may be one of the largest financial transactions of your lifetime.
