Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto Neighborhood Market Snapshot
Week ending May 3, 2026
Key indicators
The Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto market is moving, but slowly. As of May 3, 2026, there were 14 active residential listings and 4 salver the prior 12 weeks, putting the area at about 10.5 months of supply. That points to a slower, selective market where buyers have options and sellers need to be realistic.
Demand
Recent buyer activity has been light. Only 1 residential property sold in the most recent 4-week period, while 4 sold across the full 12-week window. That is enough to show some movement, but not enough to call the market broadly active.
Seller-side pressure
The seller side is mixed. The median active listing has been on the market 93 days, and half of the active inventory has been sitting for at least 90 days. That is a meaningful stale-inventory signal.
Pricing signal
At the same time, sold properties closed at about 97.3% of list price over the 12-week window, which suggests properly positioned homes can still hold reasonably close to asking.
Property type signal
All of the activity in this zone is single-family, so the signal is cleaner than in mixed-property areas. The 12-week sold sample is still limited, with 4 sales, but those sales show a median sold price of $428,750 and median sold DOM of 91 days. Those numbers are useful context, not a hard pricing benchmark.
Sub-area differences
The sub-area split matters. Arroyo Seco has 7 active listings, 2 sales, and a much fresher active-inventory profile, with a median DOM of 18 days and only 29% of listings over 90 days. Des Montes has 3 active listings and 2 sales, but the active median DOM is much higher at 197 days, with 67% of listings stale. 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 chasing everything, but listings that are priced and positioned correctly can still perform. Sellers in Des Montes and El Salto need to be especially mindful of older inventory, while buyers may find more leverage on homes that have already been sitting.
