Chino Closed About a Third Fewer Sales. Prices Still Went Up.

Here’s the number that jumps out: Chino closed about a third fewer home sales last month. You’d expect prices to drop. They didn’t. A typical Chino home sold for about $747,000, up about 3% from a year ago. Chino is a lesson in supply and demand this month, but this time both sides of the equation got smaller. Fewer sellers listed, and fewer buyers signed. When both sides step back together, prices don’t have much reason to move. That’s a slower market in Chino, but not a cheaper one.

What the price numbers are really saying

The median is the middle of the market, half of Chino’s sales came in above about $747,000, half below. The average price was up about 2%. Sellers collected 100% of their final asking price, but about 98.1% of their original list price. So some homes did need a small price cut before they sold. Overall, prices in Chino are holding.

Supply got smaller

New listings in Chino fell about 39%, to 56, and the number of homes for sale dropped about 32%, to 152. That’s about 3 months of supply. Months of supply is how long it would take to sell everything at the current pace. Under three months, sellers run the show; three to six, it’s balanced. Chino sits right on that line.

Demand got smaller too

Closed sales fell about a third, to 48 homes, and new deals getting started dropped sharply, to just 19. Fewer sellers listing, and fewer buyers signing. None of that is a crash. It’s a quieter market.

How fast homes are moving

Homes went under contract in about 23 days, about the same pace as last year. The good homes still sell at asking. The overpriced ones are the ones that end up needing a cut.

The full September scorecard

On the supply side, Chino brought 56 (down 39.1%) new listings, held 152 (down 31.8%) active listings, and carried 3.0 (down 25.0%) months of supply. On demand, pending sales came in at 19 (down 73.2%), closed sales at 48 (down 33.3%), total closed sides at 96.0 (down 33.3%), and total closed dollar volume at $75,429,076 (down 31.9%). On price, the median came in at $747,444 (up 2.7%), the average at $785,720 (up 2.2%), and price per square foot at $372 (down 2.9%). Homes closed at 100.0% (up 0.5%) of last list price and 98.1% (up 0.2%) of original list price. On timing and activity, the median home was 23 (down 4.2%) days active in the MLS, with 13.0 (up 225.0%) showings to contract and 1.5 (down 48.3%) showings per listing.

If you’re selling

There’s not much competition, homes for sale are down about 32%, and well-priced homes go under contract in about three weeks and sell at full asking. The catch is the 98.1% of original price: overpriced homes are the ones that end up needing that cut. Price it right from day one.

If you’re buying

There isn’t much to choose from, and the good homes still sell at asking. Get pre-approved so you’re ready to move. Your negotiating room is on homes that have already had a price cut, those sellers are more open to talking. A lowball on a fresh, well-priced listing won’t land.

The bottom line

Chino is quieter, not cheaper. Median about $747,000 (up about 3%), closed sales down about a third, supply at about 3 months, and full-price closings. For sellers, that means little competition and full price for the right number. For buyers, it means being ready to move. Either way, the city average isn’t your answer, your price range and your specific home are. That’s worth a real conversation before you make a move.
