El Prado / Blueberry Hill / Colonias Neighborhood Market Snapshot

Overview

This is not one of the most competitive zones in the current snapshot set. It ranks #6 of 6 for competitiveness across all residential types and #5 of 6 for competitiveness among single-family homes only. In plain English: buyers have choices here, and sellers need to be careful about price, presentation, and direct competition.

That said, the market is not completely stalled. The median active days on market is 60, which is not extreme, and the 12-week sold median DOM is 45 days. Properties that are aligned with buyer expectations can still move. The issue is the larger inventory load and the stale tail: 27 of 59 active listings, or 46%, have been on the market for 90 days or more.

The 12-week median sold price across the zone is $502,500, with a list-to-sale ratio of 98.2%. That suggests that when properties do sell, they are generally closing fairly close to list price. But with 17.7 months of supply, sellers should not read that as permission to overprice. It more likely means the homes that are actually getting to the closing table were priced reasonably enough to attract a buyer.

Type Mix

Single-family homes dominate this zone, with 43 active listings and 8 of the 10 sales over the past 12 weeks. The single-family median sold price was $549,500, with a median sold DOM of 69 days.

Condo/townhome inventory is present, with 11 active listings, but there were no condo/townhome sales in the 12-week window. Manufactured/mobile homes had 4 active listings and 2 sales, but the sample size is too small to draw a strong pricing conclusion. There is also 1 active Earthship listing, with no Earthship sales during the 12-week period.

Sub-Area Notes

El Prado has the strongest sales base in the zone, with 4 sales over the past 12 weeks and 20 active listings, resulting in 15.0 months of supply. Its median active DOM is 99, and half of the active listings are stale at 90+ days. The 12-week median sold price is $549,500.

Blueberry Hill has 13 active listings and 2 sales, with 19.5 months of supply. Median active DOM is 60, and 38% of active inventory is stale. The sales sample is too small to rely on a median sold price.

Colonias Upper is the heaviest sub-area by supply pressure, with 17 active listings, 2 sales, and 25.5 months of supply. Median active DOM is 97, and 53% of active listings are stale. This is the softest-looking sub-area in the group based on absorption and stale inventory.

Colonias Lower has the lowest months of supply in the zone at 13.5, with 9 active listings and 2 sales. Median active DOM is 47, and 33% of active inventory is stale. It is still buyer-favoring, but relatively healthier than the other sub-areas in this snapshot.

Bottom Line

El Prado / Blueberry Hill / Colonias is a high-inventory, buyer-favoring market right now. The area is not frozen, but it is selective. Good properties can still move, and recent sales are closing close to list price, but the overall supply level gives buyers leverage.

For sellers, the key is accurate positioning. The direct competition matters, especially with nearly half of active inventory already sitting 90 days or more. For buyers, this is one of the areas where patience, careful comparison shopping, and thoughtful negotiation may create real opportunity.
