A close-in East County community with real value, established neighborhoods, and an easy commute to the city.
Spring Valley has been a steady, attainable East County market. On a smoothed basis, Spring Valley's median has risen roughly 21% over the past five years, and it's pushed back toward record territory in 2026.
The recent median sits around $774,500, with about 2.5 months of supply, homes selling near 100.1% of original list, and a median of roughly 17 days on market.
Over five years the median sale price in Spring Valley is up about 21% and the price per square foot is up about 23%. The two agree, which is what you want to see. It means the gain reflects prices rising rather than a shift in the kind of home selling, so the headline number is a fair read on what an owner gained.
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.
