Where it stands today

What It Means For You

For buyers

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.

For sellers

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.

Outlook & What to Watch

Inventory

Supply is running around 1.8 months. As long as listings stay scarce, prices hold firm; a meaningful rise in inventory would be the first sign of easing.

Mortgage rates

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.

Bonita in focus

Limited inventory keeps Bonita a seller-favored market and the price leader of the South Bay, with steady demand for its space and setting.

Read the trend, not the month

This is a focused market, so a single month's median can spike or dip. Weigh the multi-year trajectory — the bold trend line above — over any one data point.
