Market figures by town

La Cima saw a distinct shift in momentum over the last six months, with median home prices rising 20.3% to $482,110 while homes sold significantly faster than in the prior period. Across 43 closed sales, the median days on market fell to 71 days, a 27.6% improvement compared to the previous six-month window and a 46.2% drop from the same period last year. This acceleration in sales velocity coincided with a tighter supply dynamic. The median close-to-original list ratio climbed to 93.5%, up 1.2% from the prior period, indicating buyers are meeting seller expectations more frequently than before. While 86% of homes still sold below their original list price, that share decreased slightly compared to the previous six months, suggesting a market where negotiation leverage is shifting. New construction continues to drive volume in the community, accounting for 33 of the 43 closed sales. The median living area for these transactions grew to 2,400 square feet, an 8.3% increase over the prior period. Despite the activity, inventory remains a factor; with 61 active listings and 45 closings in the window, the market holds approximately 8.1 months of supply. ALEX Intelligence analyzed these trends to highlight how price appreciation and faster sales are reshaping the La Cima landscape. The data reflects a community where demand is outpacing recent supply levels, pushing prices higher even as the broader region shows mixed signals. Buyers and sellers alike should note that while the market is moving faster, the 8-month inventory level still suggests a balanced environment rather than a seller's frenzy. Want a closer look?
