The Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto residential market is limited in size, but it is not especially fast-moving right now. As of April 19, there were 14 active residential listings and 4 sales over the prior 12 weeks, putting the area at about 10.5 months of supply. That points to a slower, more selective market where buyers have some room to be choosy.

Buyer activity

Recent buyer activity has been light. Only 1 residential property sold in the most recent 4-week period, while 4 sold over the broader 12-week window. That is enough activity to show some movement, but the sample is still thin, so the better read is market behavior rather than a strong price trend.

Seller picture

The seller picture is mixed. The median active listing has been on the market 93 days, and half of the active inventory has crossed the 90-day mark. That is a meaningful stale inventory tail. At the same time, the homes that did sell closed at about 97.3% of list price, suggesting that properly positioned listings can still hold fairly close to asking price.

Property type signal

All of the current active and sold activity in this packet is single-family, so the signal is relatively clean by property type. The 12-week median sold price was $428,750, with a median sold DOM of 91 days. Because there were only 4 sales, those figures are useful as directional context, not as a hard pricing benchmark.

Sub-area differences

The sub-areas are behaving differently. Arroyo Seco has the most active inventory, with 7 listings, but its active median DOM is much lower at 18 days and only 29% of listings are stale. Des Montes has fewer active listings and 2 sales, but the active median DOM is much higher at 197 days, with 67% of inventory over 90 days. El Salto has 4 active listings, no recorded sales in the 12-week window, and the heaviest stale share at 75%.

Bottom line

Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto is a selective north-side market. Buyers are not rushing the whole inventory pool, but homes that are priced and positioned correctly can still perform. Sellers need to be realistic, especially in Des Montes and El Salto where older inventory is more visible, while buyers may find more room to negotiate on listings that have been sitting.
