A notable shift in the national numbers: Redfin reported on Oct. 29 that the U.S. median home-sale price was $389,601 in the four weeks ending Oct. 25, down 0.1% from a year earlier. It's the first annual price decline in more than three years.

San Diego stood out on the demand side. Pending sales there fell 25.3% year over year, one of the largest declines among the 50 metros Redfin tracks.

A small national dip doesn't mean every Southern California neighborhood is falling, and local conditions vary block by block. But slower demand often gives buyers more time and more room to negotiate, and it means sellers need sharper pricing and presentation.

Are you seeing more price cuts in your neighborhood lately?

The California Association of Realtors released its third-quarter Housing Affordability Index on Oct. 30, and the Southern California numbers are worth a look.

In Los Angeles County, the median-priced single-family home was $958,450, and the minimum qualifying income to buy it was $244,000. Only 15% of households could afford it. Orange County (15%, $1.47 million median) and San Diego County (16%, $1,075,000) were in the same range.

The Inland Empire remains the region's relative bright spot: 27% of Riverside County households and 33% of San Bernardino County households could afford their local median, at $632,990 and $514,390. Statewide, the index was 19%.

If you're a renter in the San Gabriel Valley weighing a move east, or a homeowner wondering who your next buyer will be, these numbers shape the conversation. Which county do you think offers the best value right now?

Mortgage rates moved lower again. Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released Oct. 29, put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.24%, down from 7.32% the week before. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.60%.

Some context: a year ago the 30-year average was 6.17%, so borrowing still costs more than it did last fall. But two straight weekly declines brought rates to their lowest level of the month.

For buyers in Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley, even a fraction of a point can shift a monthly payment. A licensed lender can walk you through what current rates mean for your own situation.

Are you waiting for rates to hit a certain number before you make a move? What's your number?

California has a new tool for adding starter homes. AB 1751, the Missing Middle Townhome Ownership Act, was signed in late September and takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. A recent Holland & Knight roundup of next year's housing laws highlights it as one to watch.

The law lets qualifying townhome projects go through a ministerial approval process, with subdivision maps reviewed without a discretionary hearing. Cities can only deny a qualifying project with written findings of a specific public health or safety impact that can't be mitigated.

For buyers, the hope is more for-sale townhomes, a home type that often sits between condos and single-family houses in price. For property owners, it's worth knowing how your lot or neighborhood might be affected. A land-use attorney or your city planning office can answer site-specific questions.

Would you consider a townhome as your first purchase?

California voters will decide Prop. 1 on Nov. 3. It's an $11.25 billion general obligation bond for housing.

According to the Legislative Analyst's Office, $1.1 billion would go to homeownership programs for low- and moderate-income households and $1.25 billion to veterans' home loan assistance. Most of the rest funds affordable and supportive rental housing, plus farmworker, student and tribal housing and infrastructure. The LAO estimates repaying the $10 billion general-fund portion would cost about $500 million to $600 million a year for roughly 25 years.

Supporters point to the state's housing shortage, while opponents raise concerns about adding state debt. The official voter guide lays out both sides.

How do you think more housing funding would affect our local market?

If your home is insured through the California FAIR Plan, your next bill may look different. New rates averaging 29.1% higher took effect Oct. 15 for new policies, and existing policyholders see them at renewal. The increase was announced in September.

The FAIR Plan often covers homes that have trouble finding coverage elsewhere, frequently in higher wildfire-risk areas such as foothill neighborhoods. Individual changes vary by location and risk.

For buyers, insurance cost is now a real part of the affordability picture, so it helps to get quotes early. For coverage questions, a licensed insurance agent is the right person to ask.

Has your homeowners insurance premium changed this year?

Mortgage rates didn't budge last week. Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released Oct. 15, showed the 30-year fixed averaging 7.40%, the same as the week before. The 15-year edged down to 6.71%.

For context, the 30-year averaged 6.27% at this point last year, so buyers are working with a noticeably higher borrowing cost than in fall 2025.

How that plays out for you depends on your budget, timeline and loan type. A licensed loan officer can walk you through current options, and I'm always glad to talk through what's moving in the local market.

Are rates changing your plans to buy or sell this year?

Orange County's market is cooling at the contract stage. The Oct. 5 Orange County Housing Report counted 1,653 pending sales, down 118 from the week before and the lowest reading since well before spring.

The number of homes for sale also slipped, to 4,987, but not only because homes sold. In the same week, 379 listings were withdrawn or expired. With 30-year rates above 7%, the report notes the most pressure is on homes priced under $1 million, while the high end has held up better.

What does that mean here? Buyers may find more room to negotiate, and sellers who price realistically from the start tend to stand out. Neighboring markets like the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire often feel the same rate pressure, so it's worth watching your own area's numbers closely.

If you're thinking about listing this fall, would you sell now or wait for spring?

Mortgage rates kept climbing this month. Freddie Mac's weekly survey on Oct. 8 put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.40%, up from 7.28% the week before and 6.30% a year ago. That's the highest level in nearly three years. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.73%.

In Southern California, where prices are already high, a jump of about a point adds up fast on a monthly payment. It's also one more reason some owners with older, lower-rate loans are choosing to stay put.

Freddie Mac's chief economist noted that getting multiple quotes can potentially save borrowers thousands over the life of a loan. If you're planning a purchase, compare a few lenders and talk with a licensed loan officer about what fits your situation. Freddie Mac publishes a new reading every Thursday.

Are higher rates changing your plans to buy, sell or stay where you are?

Big news for homeowners with some yard space. Gov. Newsom signed AB 956 on Sept. 29. It lets single-family homeowners build up to two detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on their lot where space allows. Until now, the limit was one detached unit.

The law also makes clear that HOAs can't block ADUs that follow state law. A separate new law, SB 1117, changes the impact fee on ADUs larger than 750 sq ft so it's charged only on the space above 750.

From the San Gabriel Valley to the Inland Empire, plenty of SoCal homeowners have the room to think about this. Local rules and timing still apply, so check with your city before making plans.

If you could add a backyard home, what would you use it for: family, a rental or a home office?
