Prices have been flat for weeks now, and the data still favors sellers, just barely. Price reductions ticked up to 40%, the highest of the three communities we've covered this update.

Running Springs 92382: Flat Prices, Rising Reductions
Median List Price: $387,000 | MAI: 30 | Slight Seller's Advantage
Running Springs has been sitting at a plateau for several weeks, and this update doesn't break that pattern. The MAI came in at 30, down from 31 a month ago, a small move but a move in the softer direction. Median list price held close to flat at $387,000, and new listings are pricing right alongside it at $384,900, which tells you sellers here are pricing to the current market rather than reaching.
Inventory grew again to 106 homes, part of a steady buildup over the last several updates. Price reductions climbed to 40%, the highest rate among Running Springs, Crestline, and Lake Arrowhead this week. Only 2% of listings raised price. Relisted properties sit at 6%.
The median rent in the zip is $2,000, the most affordable rental figure of the communities covered in this update, worth noting for anyone weighing a long-term rental against a purchase here.
What your budget gets you in Running Springs right now:
- $305,000 gets you 956 sq ft, 2 bed 1.5 bath, 80 days on market
- $369,000 gets you 1,146 sq ft, 2 bed 2 bath, 84 days on market
- $425,000 gets you 1,474 sq ft, 3 bed 2 bath, 80 days on market
- $599,000 gets you 1,956 sq ft, 3 bed 2.5 bath, 77 days on market
Every tier here is moving in roughly the same window, 77 to 84 days. That's unusual consistency across price points. Neither the entry-level nor the top tier is dragging the market down, which is a healthier sign than what we're seeing in some of the surrounding zip codes right now.
What I'm Watching Over the Next Three Weeks
The MAI direction is the key signal. It's now moved lower for at least two straight readings. If it drops below 28, Running Springs starts to look more like Blue Jay, a confirmed buyer's market, rather than the slight seller's edge it's holding onto now.
The 40% reduction rate is also worth tracking closely. That's climbing faster than the MAI is falling, which sometimes happens right before a market flips. If reductions push past 45% on the next update, expect the median price to follow downward, not just hold flat.
Bottom Line for Buyers
Running Springs still technically favors sellers, but the gap is thin and closing. With reductions at 40% and inventory still growing, buyers have more room to negotiate than the headline numbers suggest, particularly in the $369,000 to $425,000 range where three of the four price tiers are clustered.
Bottom Line for Sellers
The market hasn't turned against you yet, but the trend lines are pointing that direction. Price to where new listings are landing, close to $385,000, rather than testing the market above it. With reductions already at 40%, an overpriced listing here isn't going to sit quietly, it's going to get cut, and buyers are watching for exactly that.
