Santa Rita Ranch October Market Recap and Outlook

What does a 9.5% jump in median price mean for Santa Rita Ranch buyers and sellers this month? In October 2026, the community saw 35 closed single-family home sales with a median close price of $575,000, up from $524,946 in September. This marks a 4.6% increase compared to the same month last year when the median was $549,864. The pace of transactions also shifted slightly, with 35 homes closing against 31 new listings added in the prior period. The median days on market dropped to 90 days from 96 days in September. However, the share of homes selling below their original list price rose to 83%, indicating that while prices are higher, negotiation dynamics remain active. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling 24-month trend to contextualize this performance. The median living area for closed sales was 2,703 square feet, slightly smaller than the 2,869 square feet seen in September. New construction accounted for 15 of the 35 closings, showing continued demand for newer inventory within the master-planned community. With 185 active listings currently on the market and 254 sales over the last six months, the community sits at approximately 4.4 months of inventory. This level suggests a balanced market where buyers have options but must act decisively as properties move in roughly three months. The data reflects a period of price appreciation driven by strong demand relative to the available supply of homes. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
