Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto Neighborhood Market Snapshot
Week ending May 10, 2026
Key indicators
The Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto market tightened materially this week, but the strength is concentrated in one of the three sub-areas. As of May 10, 2026, there were 13 active residential listings and 7 sales over the prior 12 weeks, putting the area at about 5.6 months of supply — meaningfully tighter than a week ago and the second-most-competitive read in the curated set. That headline is being carried by Arroyo Seco proper, while Des Montes and El Salto remain slow.
Demand
Buyer activity stepped up. Four residential properties sold in the most recent 4-week window, and 7 sold across the full 12-week window — up from 1 and 4 a week earlier. That is a meaningful acceleration on a similar active inventory base.
Pricing signal
Sold pricing also strengthened. Over the past 12 weeks, sold properties closed at about 95.2% of list price, with a median sold price of $695,000 and a median sold DOM of 103 days. That points to a more confident buyer pool than the prior week, especially in the homes that closed near the high end.
Seller-side pressure
The seller-side picture is mixed by sub-area. At the zone level, the median active listing has been on the market 87 days and 46% of active inventory has been sitting for at least 90 days. That stale share is lighter than a week ago, but the upper quarter of active listings still sits at 214 days or more — driven by older inventory in the two slower sub-areas.
Sub-area differences
The sub-area split is the most important detail this week. Arroyo Seco proper has 7 active listings, 5 sales over the 12-week window, and just a 27-day median active DOM with only 14% of its listings stale — by far the strongest sub-area read in the entire curated set. Des Montes has 3 active listings, 1 sale, and a 218-day median active DOM with 67% stale. El Salto has 3 active listings, 1 sale, and a 214-day median active DOM with 100% of active inventory crossing the 90-day mark.
Property type signal
All of the activity is single-family, so the read is clean across property types. The single-family lens produces the same headline numbers as the all-types view.
Bottom line
Arroyo Seco / Des Montes / El Salto looks much stronger this week, but only if you read it sub-area by sub-area. Arroyo Seco proper is the engine of the zone right now, with quick turnover and prices holding close to asking. Des Montes and El Salto continue to carry older inventory and thin demand — well-positioned listings may still do well, but pricing and presentation discipline matter more there than in the headline.
