Redlands Market Report - September 2025

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 are Up

Summer always sees an increase in inventory; no difference this year. Redlands had 182 active listings in August 2025, which is up from 130 in August 2024. With the inherently limited number of properties and consistently high demand, Redlands regularly sees a boost in sale prices. More homes are listed than in years past, causing the Price per Square foot to fall slightly to $358, which is down from $395 last year at this time. The sale-to-list percentage (how close the actual sale price was to the original list price) increased slightly in August to 99% from  July 2025’s 98.5% and in line with last August 100%. Meaning homes sold for their list price. 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 Dipped

When correctly priced and positioned well on the market, homes are selling at above list price, often in only a few days on the market. We have seen price reductions on nearly 35% of the Redlands listings, but generally, those homes were priced higher than other properties in their area. The August 2025 median sales price was $650,750, while in August 2024 it was $670,000. But it is interesting to note that July 2025 was lower at $607,000. 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 with Multiple Offers

The market is quite active, and it’s not showing any signs of slowing. 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.  

As a homeowner, what does this mean for you? If you’re thinking about selling in the next 12 months, now is the time to start preparing for market.

Our network is local and vast, and the more eyes on your property, the more qualified offers you have to choose from.

Looking Ahead  

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

1. Supply of Available Homes
   Nearly the same in July at 183, which is still considered low at only a 3.6-month 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 formations continue to grow, with Millennials leading the way. 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 August were only 15 days! 14 for the month prior. A slight change, but a difficult pace to maintain. With inventory as low as it is, days on market this low, and price per sqft drop, 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 your home to buyers.
3. Continued Growth In Redlands
   As Inflation continues to improve. Gas prices are at the lowest level in 4 years. Unemployment seems steady at 4.2%, but the QCEW (Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages) is expected to report unemployment is higher than BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) has previously reported.  Of course, Interest rates are continuing to improve, and this being the season of the year to buy a home, we’ll continue to see strong property values.
4. 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.
