Santa Rita Ranch September Market Pulse

What does a 16.2% jump in median price mean for buyers and sellers in Santa Rita Ranch? In September 2026, the community saw 35 closed sales with a median close price of $560,000, up from $482,000 during the same month last year. This represents a significant increase in value compared to the prior month's median of $584,450, which saw a 4.2% decline. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the market dynamics using a KPI dashboard comparing current performance against both the previous month and the same period last year. The data shows that while prices are higher than a year ago, homes are selling for slightly less relative to their original list price compared to last year. The median close-to-original list ratio was 0.894 in September, down from 0.919 a year prior, indicating buyers negotiated more aggressively on average. Inventory levels remain tight with only 207 active listings today, resulting in 4.72 months of supply. This suggests a balanced market leaning slightly toward sellers, though the high number of days on market at 94 days indicates properties are taking longer to sell than in previous years. The median price per square foot rose 5.7% year-over-year to $204, reflecting the increased value of homes in this master-planned community. With 32 of the 35 closed sales being new construction, the market is heavily driven by newer inventory. Buyers should note that while prices are up significantly from last year, the time required to close deals and the negotiation leverage available have shifted compared to the previous year's trends.
