COACHELLA VALLEY MAY AVERAGE MONTHLY HOME SALES (THREE MONTH AVERAGE)
Coachella Valley three-month average home sales in May were 756 homes (up 1.4% from 745 average monthly home sales in May 2025). Market Watch explained that because of the seasonality in Coachella Valley home sales, it has been difficult to determine where home sales stood on a historical basis. They explained that the Home Sales Recovery information outlined above helped to distinguish seasonal changes in home sales from real changes in home sales.
COACHELLA VALLEY MAY AVERAGE MONTHLY HOME SALES (TWELVE MONTH AVERAGE)

COACHELLA VALLEY JUNE 1ST MONTHS OF SALES RATIO
On June 1st, the Coachella Valley’s months of sales ratio was 5.4 months (down from 6 months on June 1st, 2025). Market Watch commented that the month of sales ratio was a fundamental ratio, measuring supply and demand. They added that it is now above pre-pandemic levels. Market Watch pointed out that increased inventory coupled with lower sales has resulted in supply beginning to exceed demand. However, Market Watch felt that this should not cause a problem for home prices unless it began to extend average selling times.

The highest months of sales ratio in the Coachella Valley on June 1st was 5.2 months in Desert Hot Springs (up from 5 months on June 1st, 2025), followed by Rancho Mirage at 5 months (down from 5.1 months on June 1st, 2025). The lowest months of sales ratio on June 1st was in Coachella at 3.5 months (down from 4.2 months on June 1st, 2025).

COACHELLA VALLEY JUNE 1ST MONTHS OF SALES RATIO BY PRICE RANGE

Highlights from the April 2026 GPSR Desert Housing Report from Coachella Valley real estate market experts Market Watch LLC:
COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL HOME SALES RECOVERY
Home Sales Recovery data shows where current home sales are as a percentage of historic norms, with norms being average monthly home sales over the years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In April, Coachella Valley home sales were below April norm sales by 16.4% (an improvement from April 2025 where average monthly home sales were 17.0% below April norm sales).
COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL DETACHED HOME MEDIAN PRICE
The median price of a detached home in the Coachella Valley in April was $690,995 (down 4.6% from $724,500 in April 2025). Market Watch commented that the detached home median price in the Coachella Valley usually hits its seasonal low in Autumn and its high in Spring. They also mentioned that detached homes in the Coachella Valley have in general maintained the price gains that occurred during the pandemic.
COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL ATTACHED HOME MEDIAN PRICE
The median price of an attached home in the Coachella Valley in April was $497,500 (down 0.5% from $500,000 in April 2025). Market Watch observed that the seasonal price change in the Coachella Valley for attached homes followed the same seasonal pattern as was observed for detached homes, but with a much larger price variation.
COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL YEAR-OVER-YEAR CHANGE IN THE PRICE OF THE AVERAGE SIZE HOME BY CITY
In April, the year-over-year changes in the price of the average size detached home in each Coachella Valley city ranged from a decrease of 0.4% for the 3,450 sq ft average size detached home in Indian Wells (decreasing to $2,252,574 from $2,261,061 in April 2025) to a decrease of 14.6% for the 2,175 sq ft average size detached home in Palm Springs (decreasing to $1,131,085 from $1,324,619 in April 2025).

COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL AVERAGE MONTHLY HOME SALES (THREE MONTH AVERAGE)
Coachella Valley three-month average home sales in April were 760 homes (up 2.1% from 745 average monthly home sales in April 2025). Market Watch explained that because of the seasonality in Coachella Valley home sales, it has been difficult to determine where home sales stood on a historical basis. They explained that the Home Sales Recovery information above helped to distinguish seasonal changes in home sales from real changes in home sales.
COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL AVERAGE MONTHLY HOME SALES (TWELVE MONTH AVERAGE)
Coachella Valley 12-month average home sales in April (which removes the seasonality in Coachella Valley home sales data) were 630 homes per month (up 2.1% from 617 home sales per month in April 2025). Market Watch stated that the housing market needs lower mortgage rates. However, they added that the Federal Reserve Board had stopped lowering short-term rates until the effect of the administration’s new economic policies could be determined.
COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL MONTHLY HOME SALES BY CITY
In the Coachella Valley, Palm Desert had the highest average monthly home sales in April at 180 homes (up 3.4% from 174 average monthly home sales in April 2025), followed by Palm Springs with 161 average monthly home sales (up 11.8% from 144 average monthly home sales in April 2025) and then La Quinta with 118 average monthly home sales (down 8.0% from 137 average monthly home sales in April 2025).

They added that the normal seasonal pattern in the Coachella Valley is a high inventory level in March and April and low inventory level in late Summer.

The Coachella Valley city with the lowest inventory level on May 1st was Coachella with 38 homes for sale (up 22.6% from 31 homes for sale on May 1st, 2025).

COACHELLA VALLEY MAY 1ST HOME SALE INVENTORY BY PRICE RANGE

The lowest inventory level in the Coachella Valley on May 1st was 139 homes for sale for homes priced between $900 and $999K (down 26.1% from 188 homes for sale on May 1st, 2025). Market Watch noted that this information could help locate what price ranges might be responsible for the growth or contraction of inventory.
COACHELLA VALLEY MAY 1ST MONTHS OF SALES RATIO
On May 1st, the Coachella Valley’s months of sales ratio was 5.6 months (down from 6.2 months on May 1st, 2025). Market Watch commented that the month of sales ratio was a fundamental ratio, measuring supply and demand. They added that it is now above pre-pandemic levels. Market Watch pojnted out that increased inventory coupled with lower sales has resulted in supply beginning to exceed demand. Market Watch felt that this should not cause a problem for home prices unless it begins to extend average selling times.
COACHELLA VALLEY MAY 1ST MONTHS OF SALES RATIO BY CITY
The highest months of sales ratio in the Coachella Valley on May 1st was 5.7 months in Coachella (up from 3.7 months on May 1st, 2025), followed by Indian Wells at 5.6 months (the same as on May 1st, 2025). The lowest months of sales ratio on May 1st was in Bermuda Dunes at 3.8 months (down from 6.6 months on May 1st, 2025). Market Watch cautioned that since the months of sales ratio is really the supply and demand equation for housing, this information showed that the Coachella Valley housing market was becoming supply heavy.
COACHELLA VALLEY MAY 1ST MONTHS OF SALES RATIO BY PRICE RANGE
The highest months of sales ratio in the Coachella Valley on May 1st was 6 months for homes priced over $2 million (up from 5.9 months on May 1st, 2025), followed by 5.3 months both for homes priced between $800K and $899K (down from 6.5 months on May 1st, 2025) and for homes priced under $300K (up from 4.6 months on May 1st, 2025). The lowest months of sales ratio on May 1st was 3.9 months for homes priced between $400K and $499K (down from 4.5 months on May 1st, 2025). Market Watch noted that these months of sales ratios showed that Coachella Valley housing inventory was starting to exceed demand in almost all price ranges. They added that this hasn’t affected prices yet and most probably wouldn’t until selling times begin to lengthen.
COACHELLA VALLEY APRIL DAYS IN THE MARKET
At the end of April, the median number of days in the Coachella Valley was 49 days (up slightly from 48 days in April 2025). Market Watch commented that the median selling time in the Coachella Valley has been between 40 and 60 days for over two years.
