Spring 2025 Real Estate Shift

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or simply watching the market, this spring has a lot to talk about—especially here in Southern California’s Inland Empire and surrounding mountain regions.

From Big Bear to Idyllwild, Lake Arrowhead to Yucca Valley, the pace is picking up fast—and the opportunities are real.

Here’s What Makes Spring 2025 a Unique Moment for Our Area:

1. Buyers Are Coming Inland for Lifestyle + Value.
High coastal prices are redirecting attention to mountain towns and high desert gems where you can find character, space, and peace—all at a better price.

2. Inventory Is Low, But the Right Listings Are Flying.
Homes that are clean, upgraded, and speak to the lifestyle—nature, space, remote work—are seeing real competition. Move-in ready homes with bonus features (like solar or ADUs) are top of mind.

3. The Market Is Moving Early This Year.
Between mild weather and stabilized mortgage rates, buyers are already out in full force. If you're planning to list—or shop—waiting may only increase competition.

4. Real Estate Here Is No Longer a Secret.
Southern California’s IE and surrounding mountain areas used to be “hidden gems.” Now, they’re lifestyle destinations for second-home buyers, LA transplants, and retirees seeking a new pace of life.

For Buyers:
Don’t just look for a deal—look for lasting value. Whether that’s income potential, land, or a community you love, now’s the time to get ahead of the summer rush.

For Sellers:
You’re not just selling square footage—you’re selling a vision. A well-staged home that speaks to the lifestyle buyers want today will stand out and sell stronger.
