🧠 Quick Summary

The real estate market in Corona is going through a healthy adjustment — not a crash. After five months of flat prices and increasing inventory, we’re now seeing signs of a more balanced playing field between buyers and sellers.

If you're buying, affordability just improved thanks to falling interest rates. If you're selling, there’s still strong demand — but pricing and presentation matter more than ever.

Let’s break it all down.

📊 Market Overview: January to Early July 2025

Month	Homes Sold	Median Price	$/SqFt	Days on Market	Active Listings	Months of Inventory
Jan	25	$880,000	$402	43	30	1.2
Feb	36	$877,500	$373	16	32	0.89
Mar	39	$880,000	$369	23	58	1.49
Apr	47	$880,000	$387	15	57	1.21
May	53	$870,000	$395	12	60	1.13
Jun	47	$880,000	$383	20	91	1.94
July (partial)	3	$830,000	$384	25	11	3.67

🔥 Translation:

Prices are stable (hovering at $880K since January).
Inventory rose nearly 80% since April.
Days on market are ticking upward.
Buyer demand is still solid, but no longer overheated.

💸 Mortgage Rates: The Game Changer

June Average: ~6.70%
Trend: 5-week decline, now at the lowest level since early spring.
Outlook: Fed is expected to begin rate cuts this September, pushing rates down even more by Q4.

This matters because a 0.5% drop in mortgage rates saves the average buyer over $250/month in payments on a median-priced home.

🕵️‍♂️ What We’re Seeing on the Ground

✅ Buyer Activity:

Still strong under $900K, especially for turnkey homes.
First-time and move-up buyers are responding to rate drops.
Homes priced right are still going into escrow fast.

🚧 Seller Challenges:

More homes = more competition.
Buyers are getting pickier.
Homes sitting for more than 3 weeks often need a price adjustment or staging.

🏡 Luxury Market Snapshot (High-End $1.4M+)

Month	Sales	Median Price	$/SqFt
Feb	2	$1.48M	$387
Mar	2	$2.33M	$421
Apr	3	$1.65M	$362
May	2	$1.63M	$382
July (partial)	2	$2.27M	$506

Despite market shifts, luxury homes are still selling — especially if they offer standout upgrades, views, or unique features.

🔮 Market Predictions: Summer to End of 2025

Metric	Most Likely	Best Case	Worst Case
Mortgage Rate	6.40–6.75%	Down to 6.00%	Spikes back to 7.25%
Inventory	2.0–2.4 months	Drops under 1.8	Grows above 3.0
Home Prices	Flat to +2%	+4%	–3%
Days on Market	18–25	Under 15	Over 30

Corona’s market is not crashing — it’s normalizing. With rates softening and buyers active, expect a “slow burn” through the summer with more balanced negotiations and fewer bidding wars.

🧠 What This Means for YOU

🏠 If You’re a Buyer:

Now is your window. You have more homes to choose from and slightly more negotiating power.
Lock in before rates dip further — once they do, competition will spike again.

💰 If You’re a Seller:

This isn’t 2021. Pricing accurately is key.
Homes that show well and hit the market early in the month are moving fastest.
Want to stand out? I’ll show you how to prep your home to compete and win — even with rising inventory.

📣 Abidur’s Pro Tips for Summer 2025

Promote payment drops: Buyers care about their monthly. Use rate drops to show them the win.
Offer seller credits or rate buydowns: This can make your home more affordable and move faster.
Tap into move-up equity: Many sellers have locked-in equity from 2020–2022. Show them how to trade up smart without a payment shock.
Stay consistent: Homes that are well-marketed and fairly priced are still selling — often with multiple offers under 3 weeks.
