This Week's Market Snapshot

Week of August 24, 2026 – August 30, 2026

67 Days

Active Listings

697+

The Murrieta housing market continues to offer solid opportunities as summer winds down. The median listing price is currently $679,000, reflecting a modest year-over-year decline of about 2% compared to this time last year. Homes are spending a median of 67 days on the market, and inventory remains strong with over 697 active listings available.

This slight easing in prices combined with ample inventory gives buyers more leverage and breathing room than they have had in recent years. Sellers who price competitively and present their homes in move-in condition are finding motivated buyers. With interest rates holding relatively steady, this late-summer window presents a favorable moment for both buyers and sellers to make their move with the guidance of an experienced local agent. As we head toward fall, the market typically sees a slight seasonal slowdown, so acting now could mean less competition and more attentive negotiations.

Restaurant Spotlight

Calhoun Family Texas Barbeque

Authentic Texas-Style Barbeque in Old Town Murrieta

Calhoun Family Texas Barbeque brings authentic Texas-style smoked meats to Old Town Murrieta, and locals have responded with enthusiasm. This family-owned operation on Washington Avenue has earned a stellar 4.7-star rating on Yelp with over 140 reviews, praised for its perfectly smoked brisket, tender pulled pork, house-made sauces, and generous portions that keep customers coming back.

What to order: The brisket is the star of the show here — slow-smoked for hours until tender and flavorful, served with classic Texas-style sides. The pulled pork sandwiches and baby back ribs are also customer favorites. Sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans round out the meal. The casual, welcoming atmosphere and friendly service make it a perfect spot for a relaxed lunch or early dinner with family.
