La Cima: Months of Inventory Point to Buyer Market

Is there enough supply for buyers to negotiate in La Cima? The answer is yes. With 8.3 months of inventory on the market as of October 31, 2026, the area has shifted firmly into buyer territory. This figure is calculated by dividing the current active listings by the average monthly closings over the trailing six-month period. In a balanced market, inventory typically hovers around four to six months. Anything above that threshold favors buyers, giving them more time to find a home and negotiate terms. La Cima currently sits well above this range, indicating a surplus of homes relative to demand. This is supported by 58 active listings available today against an average of roughly five closed sales per month. The data also shows a shift in pricing dynamics compared to the prior six-month window. Median close prices rose 14.2% to $466,900 across 42 sales, yet homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, though the pace has accelerated recently with median days on market dropping 51.5% compared to the same period last year. The share of homes selling below original list price remains high at 83.3%, reinforcing the buyer advantage in this volume-driven market.
