A leafy, semi-rural pocket of the South Bay in the Sweetwater Valley: larger lots, horse properties, and the area's most sought-after neighborhoods.
Bonita sits at the top of the South Bay market. Inventory is tight and prices hold firm, though at this price point homes take a few weeks and sell just under ask.
The trailing-3-month median sits around $1.02M, with about 2.9 months of supply, homes selling near 96.8% of original price, and a median of roughly 38 days on market.
Over five years the median sale price in Bonita is up about 26% and the price per square foot is up about 32%. The two are close, with the price per square foot a few points ahead, so values rose a little more than the headline median shows.
Price per square foot is the sale price divided by the home's interior square footage.
Both figures use the same smoothed five year comparison: the average of the last twelve monthly medians against the average of the first twelve. A gap of eight points or more is treated as a mix shift. That threshold was set by testing, not picked: an earlier version flagged nine of nineteen areas, which is noise. It now flags eight of forty.
Bonita offers space, larger lots, and a semi-rural feel while staying minutes from the bay and downtown. Inventory is scarce, so patience and a strong offer both pay off.
Bonita commands a premium in the South Bay. With supply tight, well-presented homes draw serious buyers. Price to the trend and homes here still move at strong numbers.

Rates sit higher than they were a couple of years ago, the main headwind on demand. A meaningful drop would likely bring buyers off the sidelines quickly.
Get Pre-Approved →Limited inventory keeps Bonita a seller-favored market and the price leader of the South Bay, with steady demand for its space and setting.
