Opportunity and Optimism in Indio’s Fall Real Estate Market
There’s a lot happening in Indio’s real estate market this fall, and the numbers tell an interesting story. While prices have softened slightly, buyer activity remains strong — a clear sign that confidence in our local market is alive and well.
Sales and Demand
In September, 65 single-family homes sold here in Indio — a 3.2% increase over last year. Even more encouraging, the number of listings under contract jumped nearly 38% compared to September 2024. Buyers are out there and making moves, especially as interest rates show signs of leveling off.
Pricing Trends
The median price for a single-family home came in at $550,000, down just 1.7% from a year ago. It’s a modest dip that could present new opportunities for those who’ve been waiting to enter the market. For sellers, homes are still closing at an impressive 97.4% of list price, showing that well-presented and well-priced homes continue to attract serious buyers.
Inventory and Market Time
Inventory sits at 470 active listings, up slightly year-over-year, which gives buyers a bit more breathing room. Homes are spending about 65 days on the market, a notable increase from last year’s pace but slightly faster than August — indicating that properties are still moving when priced right.
What It All Means
In short, Indio is experiencing a balanced moment — a healthy mix of motivated buyers and sellers. Whether you’re thinking about selling before the new year or hoping to find your dream home while there’s still good selection, this could be an excellent time to make your move.
