El Prado / Blueberry Hill / Colonias Market Snapshot

Buyer activity

Four residential properties sold over the past four weeks, matching the October 18 snapshot. The twelve-week total declined from 16 to 15. Recent completed activity is therefore unchanged in the shorter window and lower in the longer one.

The combined twelve-week median sale price increased from $570,500 to $661,000, while median sold time on market declined slightly from 99 to 97 days. That price movement should not be read as a jump in home values. The rolling sample changed, and its property-type composition matters.

Single-family sales held at 13, with the same $663,500 median sold price and 100-day median sold DOM as last week. The condo and townhome count declined from two sales to one. The unchanged single-family median alongside a higher combined median illustrates why the overall figure should be read through the transactions and property types represented, rather than treated as a broad pricing trend.

Across the October 11, 18, and 25 reports, the combined sold median moved from $610,000 to $570,500 to $661,000. That uneven sequence contrasts with the consistently higher supply readings and does not establish a clear direction in comparable-property values.

Seller positioning

Forty-one listings have been on the market for at least 90 days, compared with 39 last week and 38 on October 11. The rounded stale share remains 68% this week because the overall inventory also increased. There are more older listings, even though the displayed percentage is unchanged.

Median active exposure increased from 132 to 137 days, and the 75th-percentile reading moved from 234 to 235 days. Across the three reports, median active DOM has risen from 125 to 132 to 137 days. Sellers are still competing within an inventory pool with substantial established exposure.

The reported list-to-sale ratio remains 90.0%, indicating negotiation below the list-price measure used in the report. It does not establish a standard discount for every property or measure the reduction from an original asking price.

The practical issue for sellers is the combination of additional choice and a smaller rolling closing count. A useful pricing review should focus on the alternatives a buyer would reasonably consider, rather than relying on this week’s higher combined sold median.

Property types and local differences

Single-family inventory increased from 44 to 46 listings, while its twelve-week sales count held at 13. Condo and townhome inventory increased from 10 to 11, with one recorded sale. Manufactured and mobile homes remain at two active listings and one sale, and one Earthship is available with no recorded sale. The non-single-family sold samples are too thin for useful separate price-median comparisons.

El Prado now has 21 active listings, up from 18, while its twelve-week sales count remains four. Calculated supply increased from 13.5 to 15.8 months. Median active DOM is 142 days, and 76% of listings are at least 90 days old. The slightly lower median and stale percentage do not indicate that older inventory has cleared; the sub-area has more available homes against the same closing count. Its four-sale median price remains $367,500.

Blueberry Hill again has 10 active listings and six twelve-week sales, maintaining 5.0 months of supply across all three October reports. That remains the lowest supply reading in the combined zone. Median active exposure increased from 152 to 159 days, while the stale share held at 80%. Its $700,000 sold median is unchanged. The contrast remains useful: relatively balanced supply and sales can coexist with older available inventory.

Upper Colonias has 16 active listings, unchanged, but its twelve-week sales count declined from four to three. Supply increased from 12.0 to 16.0 months. Median active DOM is 138.5 days, and 69% of listings are at least 90 days old. The sold median increased from $617,500 to $800,000, but the current figure rests on only three transactions. That thin sample cannot establish a neighborhood-wide rise in values.

Lower Colonias remains at 13 active listings and two twelve-week sales, producing 19.5 months of supply. Median active exposure increased from 73 to 80 days, and the stale share held at 46%. It still has the youngest median active inventory among the four sub-areas, but the highest supply reading. Shorter active exposure alone does not establish stronger demand.

Bottom line

The combined area has become more heavily supplied across three published snapshots, with more available homes, fewer rolling sales, and a growing count of listings past 90 days. Blueberry Hill remains a clear exception in its inventory-to-sales balance, while El Prado and both Colonias sub-areas offer substantially more supply relative to closings. Buyers should compare the choices within their actual search area, and sellers should price against those alternatives. This week’s higher sold median is a reason to examine the closing mix—not evidence that every home gained value.
