Your monthly market overview

Brea Market Update – September 2026

🏡 September brought tighter supply to Brea’s single-family market. Overall, conditions favored sellers. Here’s what that could mean if you’re watching your home’s value or thinking about a move.

📉 Supply tightened to 1.79 months, down 5.8% from August. That’s limited supply, but it doesn’t mean every listing will sell quickly or at any price.

💰 The median sold price was $1,190,000, up 4.2% from August. The mix of homes sold can shift that figure, so it doesn’t mean every home’s value changed by the same amount.

⏱️ Homes that sold spent a median of 20 days on the market, up 17.6% from August. Sales came in at 101.73% of asking price overall.

💵 The median estimated home value was $1,214,300, down 0.1% for the month and up 3.2% over the past year. Think of it as a broader value estimate, separate from this month’s sale prices.

Bottom line: Limited supply can help sellers, but a thoughtful asking price still matters. Your closest comparable sales are a better guide than the city median alone. You’re welcome to ask for a home-value review even if you’re staying put.
