California home sales continued to show strong activity through late June, with new data highlighting both brisk listing activity and a steady pace of sales. The California Association of REALTORS® released its latest market snapshot for the week ending June 21, 2025, offering insights into how buyers, sellers, and agents are faring as the busy summer season unfolds.
According to the report, California REALTORS® closed an average of 518 sales each day during the period. This figure demonstrates a solid volume of transactions, with pending sales averaging 533 per day. The state also saw 801 new listings per day, reflecting sellers’ willingness to bring homes to market as demand persists.
Listing Activity Remains High
New listings increased to 801 per day, a sign that inventory levels are getting a seasonal lift. About 33.8% of REALTORS® reported listing at least one property during the week, marking a 10% increase from the prior period. Closed sales were reported by 24.6% of agents, up 12.1%. Meanwhile, escrow activity remained mostly unchanged. About 13.8% of REALTORS® said they entered a property into escrow, a modest 0.4% decline compared to the earlier week.
The data illustrates how California home sales continue to benefit from sustained buyer interest and greater seller participation. While mortgage rates have trended higher since last year, many buyers remain eager to lock in homes before potential further increases.
Mixed Expectations for the Week Ahead
When surveyed about the week ahead, REALTORS® expressed cautious optimism tempered by concerns about pricing. Nearly half—46.9%—said they expect listings to increase, a 3.7% rise from the previous quarter. About 23.4% of agents believe sales will rise in the coming week, though that share fell 4.1% compared to the last survey.
Fewer REALTORS® predicted price gains, with just 9.4% saying home prices will increase. This represents a 9.4% drop from earlier sentiment. The decline suggests some agents anticipate price adjustments as inventory expands and buyers become more price sensitive.
Demand and Supply Balance Shifts
The California home sales environment reflects a shift toward a more balanced market as summer progresses. The strong pace of new listings is giving buyers more options, which could ease bidding pressures in many regions. While the market remains competitive in high-demand communities, the larger supply may help temper price growth.
REALTORS® also appear to be adjusting their expectations to account for changes in consumer confidence and affordability. The latest figures show that more agents are listing homes and closing transactions, but fewer expect rising prices in the near term.
Community Relevance and Outlook
For residents of communities such as El Monte, South El Monte, Baldwin Park, and Rosemead, the trends point to continued opportunities to buy or sell homes this summer. Buyers may benefit from a wider range of options and the possibility of more stable pricing. Sellers can still find ready demand, especially for well-maintained properties priced to align with current conditions.
The California Association of REALTORS® will release updated data in early July. For those considering entering the market, monitoring these weekly indicators can help inform the best timing for making a move.
