Running Springs, CA 92382
As of Thursday, June 25, 2026, the median list price in Running Springs is $398,000, with the Market Action Index hovering around 31 — a Slight Seller's Advantage. That's down slightly from last month's reading of 32. Inventory has increased to 107 homes.
Market Action Index
The Market Action Index answers the question "How's the Market?" by comparing the rate of sales versus inventory. A reading below 30 favors buyers. Above 30 favors sellers. The closer the number sits to 30, the more balanced things are.
At 31, Running Springs is just barely in seller's territory, and the index has been trending lower for several weeks. That's worth paying attention to — it's usually the first sign of where pricing is headed next.
Market Narrative
The Market Action Index has been trending lower for several weeks while prices have remained relatively stable. If inventory continues to grow relative to demand, it's likely we'll see downward pressure on pricing in the months ahead.
In plain terms: the price hasn't moved much yet, but the conditions underneath it are softening. Watch this one closely over the next few weeks.

New listings are coming in above the current median, at $412,499 versus $398,000. Sellers entering the market right now are pricing with some confidence — whether the market backs that up or pushes back is the thing to watch.
Price reductions sit at 43%, meaning nearly half of all active listings have already had to adjust their price downward. Only 2% have seen an increase. That gap tells you where the real leverage is right now, even with the "seller's advantage" label still technically attached.
The spread between average days on market (135) and median days on market (77) is the most useful number in this report. Priced right, a home in Running Springs moves in a little over two months. Priced wrong, you're looking at four-plus months before reality catches up.
Market Segments
Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market, ordered by price.
| Median Price | Sq. Ft. | Lot Size | Beds | Bath | Age | DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $599,000 | 1,980 | 8,000–10,000 sqft | 3 | 2.5 | 46 | 70 days |
| $425,000 | 1,507 | 6,500–8,000 sqft | 3 | 2 | 52 | 77 days |
| $360,000 | 1,120 | 4,500–6,500 sqft | 2 | 2 | 52 | 84 days |
| $299,994 | 904 | 4,500–6,500 sqft | 2 | 1.5 | 62 | 80 days |
A few things stand out here. The top tier, $599,000, is actually moving fastest at 70 days, while the entry-level and mid-range segments are sitting longer, between 77 and 84 days. That's the opposite of what you'd expect in a typical market, and it suggests buyers at the top of this price range are decisive when the right property comes along, while entry-level buyers are taking their time.
Bottom Line for Buyers
Running Springs remains one of the most affordable mountain communities near Lake Arrowhead, with a median rent of just $2,373 reinforcing that value position. With 43% of listings already reduced and inventory climbing, there's real room to negotiate right now, especially in the $360,000–$425,000 range where homes are sitting closer to three months.
Bottom Line for Sellers
Don't lean too hard on the "slight seller's advantage" label. The MAI has been sliding for weeks, and nearly half the active market has already had to cut price. If you're listing in Running Springs right now, price it to where the market actually is on day one, the data shows that's what separates a 70-day sale from one that drags past 130.
