Based on the average monthly sales for the last 3 months of 11 homes and the number of homes in escrow, there is currently only a 2 month inventory of unsold homes. The chart below is based on the number of sales for the month only.
 
   
 
The average list price of homes in Rolling Hills Estates has been steadily rising over the last six months, however the
lower priced homes in the market are selling more rapidly.
 
 
 
The average time period to sell a home has ranged from 1 to 3 months over the last quarter, and has sold for an average of 94% of list price
 
 
 
 
 
 
My sense of the market is that it has become a relatively stable market, however buyers seem to continue to feel uneasy about the economy, and even with record low interest rates,  buyers remain cautious.
