Greater Palm Springs Real Estate Market Report — September 2026
Last month, the numbers pointed to a market pulling in different directions. This month, things look a bit steadier, with prices holding almost level with last year and inventory building back up.
Here’s where things stand across the Coachella Valley:
Prices: The median detached home price ended September at $624,000, essentially flat with last year (-0.3%). Attached homes came in at $425,000, up 1.2%. Indian Wells continues to lead detached appreciation at 19.6%, while Desert Hot Springs saw the largest pullback at -5.0%.
Inventory: Total inventory stood at 2,765 units, nearly even with last year (-1.2%). The months of sales ratio rose to 4.5 months, up from 3.9 in August and in line with this time last year. Still comfortably in balanced-market territory (under 6.0 months is the benchmark).
Days on Market: The median time to sell was 57 days, three days faster than last year. Coachella led at just 31 days, while Bermuda Dunes took the longest at 91.
Overall, a market that seems to be finding its footing: prices are holding, more homes are available, and sales are moving at a steady pace. If you’re curious how these trends apply to your search, neighborhood, or what your home might be worth, I’d be happy to walk through the numbers with you.
