Even as inventory expanded by 4.4% in July, national home prices continued their upward trend, climbing 2.6% to reach a median of $400,000. It’s interesting to note the nuanced price growth across different property types: single-family homes saw a 2.5% rise, condos were up by 2.3%, and townhomes experienced a more modest 0.8% increase. Home sales also edged higher by 2.9%. After more than a decade guiding clients through residential, commercial, and investment markets, I find these shifts speak to the resilience and complexity in today’s market—especially here in Whittier and Helendale, where local trends often mirror these national dynamics. Understanding these numbers is key to making informed decisions, whether you’re considering a first-time purchase, a luxury upgrade, or a strategic investment.
