Recent Real Estate News in Calimesa
Calimesa Home Values Hold Near $568,641 — Zillow's smoothed home-value index for Calimesa is running near $568,641, essentially flat over the past twelve months (-0.5%). In context, the local market currently reads Hot on Zillow's 0-100 temperature scale, active inventory is down about 18% from a year ago, and roughly 3% of listings have taken a price cut.
30-Year Fixed Edges Up to 6.55% in Mid-July — Freddie Mac's weekly survey put the average 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.55% for the week of July 16, 2026, up from 6.49% a week earlier and 6.43% at the start of the month. Rates still sit below the 6.75% average of a year ago, so financing costs remain modestly friendlier than last summer even as purchase applications have softened.
Inland Empire Median Settles Near $590,000 — The Inland Empire's median sale price has been running around $590,000 in recent months, with Riverside and San Bernardino county home values each easing roughly 1.5% over the past year. Inventory keeps building as sales volume slows, which has moved most Inland Empire submarkets toward balance: well-priced homes still draw competing offers, while overpriced listings sit.
