Riverside County Median Around $640K — Still the Most Affordable SoCal Submarket — Riverside County's median sale price has been hovering around $640,000 — well below the coastal counties — and inventory continues to build through the spring.

Inland Empire Sales Volume Still Running ~25–28% Below 2019 Peak — Year-to-date sales volume across the Inland Empire is running roughly 25–28% under the pre-pandemic 2019 peak, with affordability and rate sensitivity still throttling closings. Canyon Lake has seen homes sit on the market noticeably longer than a year ago — a meaningful shift toward buyer leverage.
Mortgage Rates in the Mid-6s Easing Buyer Hesitation — The 30-year fixed settled near 6.33% in April, down from 6.73% last year. For Canyon Lake buyers, that has translated into meaningfully lower monthly payments versus a year ago and is helping pending sales tick back up.
