Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto Neighborhood Market Snapshot

Buyer Activity

Buyer activity has been present but limited in scale. Only one home sold in the past four weeks, while seven sold over the 12-week period. All seven sales were single-family homes, with a 12-week median sold price of $710,000 and median sold DOM of 57 days. Because the recent sales count is small, the price median should be treated as directional rather than as a broad measure of current market value.

Seller Positioning

Seller positioning is mixed. The median active DOM is 157 days, and the 75th percentile is 278 days. Nine of the 13 active listings—69%—have been on the market at least 90 days. That is a heavy stale tail. At the same time, the 12-week sold DOM median of 57 days shows that homes that do attract a buyer can move substantially faster than the broader active inventory.

The reported 100.0% list-to-sale ratio is encouraging, but it comes from a limited sample and should not be generalized to every listing. The more useful conclusion is that correctly positioned homes can perform well, while the large stale share shows that other properties are not finding a buyer quickly. This is a bifurcated market: fast-moving homes alongside a long tail of older listings.

Differences Across Arroyo Seco, Des Montes, and El Salto

The sub-area differences reinforce that split. Arroyo Seco has four active listings and five 12-week sales, producing 2.4 months of supply—the strongest absorption of the three areas. Its 75% stale share is also the highest, so the small active inventory includes both strong recent turnover and several older listings. The $710,000 sold-price median is based on five sales and should be read cautiously.

El Salto has three active listings and two 12-week sales, producing 4.5 months of supply. Its median active DOM is 116 days, lower than the other two sub-areas, although 67% of its listings are still considered stale.

Des Montes has six active listings but no sales in the 12-week period, so months of supply cannot be calculated. Its median active DOM is 156.5 days and 67% of listings have been on the market at least 90 days. The absence of recent sales makes conclusions about pricing or buyer demand there especially limited.

Bottom line

This is a small, divided market. Recent sales show that buyers are active for the right homes, but 69% of current listings have been exposed for at least 90 days. Sellers need precise pricing and strong positioning; buyers should expect limited inventory, while also recognizing that not every listing is moving quickly. Arroyo Seco is showing the strongest recent absorption, while Des Montes currently has no recorded 12-week sales.
