Your monthly market overview
La Palma Market Update – September 2026
🏡 September brought little change in supply to La Palma’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 stood at 1.83 months. That’s limited supply, but it doesn’t mean every listing will sell quickly or at any price.
💰 The median sold price was $1,231,000, up 4.3% from August. Just 7 homes were in this sample, so a few higher- or lower-priced sales can move that number.
⏱️ Homes that sold spent a median of 8 days on the market, down 33.3% from August. Sales came in at 100.54% of asking price overall.
💵 The median estimated home value was $1,242,560, up 0.5% for the month and down 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.
