A purchase offer should reflect the home, your finances and the protections you need. I'll help you keep those pieces connected rather than treating the offer price as the entire decision.
For Riverside single-family homes, condos, townhomes and apartments, the September 2026 sold-to-list price percentage was 99.8%. The median sold price was $680,000. Housing supply, measured in months of inventory, was 2.65 months. The reported sold-to-list price percentage does not establish the result of an individual offer.
I would use similar completed sales to discuss a reasonable offer range, then test it against your spending boundary. Financing and inspection requirements deserve attention alongside price because changing them can change the risks you accept. A clear offer also needs dates and responsibilities that you understand before agreeing to them.
Review the home's condition and recent sales of similar homes with me before selecting your offer price. Confirm the maximum price you are comfortable offering and the deposit included with the offer. Discuss the conditions in the offer, such as financing or inspection requirements, before deciding which terms to propose.
