Ramona Detached Homes Market Report: July 2026
Posted August 12, 2026 · Compiled from Paragon MLS data · Scott Hodge, Homeport Residential, DRE #01977659
BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT
24 detached homes closed in Ramona during July 2026 at a median price of $835,000. That is close to flat against both last month and last July. What changed is speed. The median home went from listed to sold in 11.5 days, the fastest reading of the year, and 17 of the 24 closed at or above asking price.
Months supply of inventory rose to 3.6, up from 3.3 in June. That headline number is worth taking apart, because Ramona is not behaving as one market right now. Homes priced in the $700,000s and $800,000s are clearing quickly. Homes above $1.1 million are not.
The numbers
| Metric | July 2026 | June 2026 | July 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed sales | 24 | 25 | 26 |
| Median sale price | $835,000 | $850,000 | $842,500 |
| Median price per square foot | $401 | n/a | $406 |
| Median days on market | 11.5 | 15 | 36 |
| Median sold to list price | 100.6% | 100.1% | n/a |
| Active listings | 87 | 82 | n/a |
| Months supply of inventory | 3.6 | 3.3 | n/a |
Year over year the price picture is essentially unchanged. The median is down about one percent from last July, which is noise rather than movement. Volume is down slightly. The real difference is time on market, which has dropped from 36 days last July to under 12 days now.
One number hiding two markets
A single months supply figure of 3.6 puts Ramona in the balanced band, where neither side has a clear advantage. Under 3 months favors sellers, 3 to 6 is balanced, above 6 favors buyers. But averaging the whole market together buries what is actually happening.
The 87 homes currently on the market have a median asking price of $925,000 and have been sitting a median of 49 days. The 24 homes that actually sold in July had a median price of $835,000 and sold in 11.5 days. The homes going under contract right now look like the sold group, not the listed group. Ramona's 24 pending sales carry a median asking price of $824,450 and went pending in a median of 13 days.
Splitting inventory by price tier and measuring it against the trailing twelve month sales pace shows the gap clearly.
| Price tier | Active listings | Months supply |
|---|---|---|
| $700,000 to $900,000 | 36 | About 2.5 |
| Above $1,100,000 | 29 | About 5.3 |
Two thirds of July's closings landed in that $700,000 to $900,000 band. Three closed above $1.1 million. A third of everything currently for sale sits above $1.1 million. That mismatch is why the upper tier accumulates while the middle clears.
One honest caution on those tier figures. July alone produced only three closings above $1.1 million, which is far too few to calculate anything from. The months supply numbers above use the trailing twelve month sales pace instead, which is a sturdier base. Treat them as a reasonable read on direction, not a precise measurement.
What it means
If you are selling below $900,000: this is about as good as conditions get. Homes in your range are selling in under two weeks and most are closing at or above asking. The risk is not the market, it is overpricing into it. The 49 day median age of current listings tells you what happens to homes that reach past what buyers are paying.
If you are selling above $1.1 million: expect a longer timeline and plan for it. Roughly five months of supply in your tier means real competition and fewer qualified buyers cycling through. Pricing correctly at launch matters more here than anywhere else in Ramona, because a listing that goes stale in this tier has few new buyers arriving to rescue it.
If you are buying: your leverage depends entirely on price range. Below $900,000 you are competing, you should be ready to move quickly, and you should not count on negotiating far under asking. Above $1.1 million you have genuine choice and genuine room to negotiate, particularly on listings that have been sitting.
One caveat on the speed figures. Days on market resets when a listing is withdrawn and relisted, so the 11.5 day median makes fast turnarounds look slightly faster than the full history would. The direction is real. The precision is approximate.
How San Diego Country Estates compares
San Diego Country Estates, the master planned community inside Ramona, accounted for 9 of the 24 detached closings in July. Its median came in at $808,500 against $835,000 for Ramona as a whole, and homes there took a median of 13 days to sell against 11.5 days for Ramona overall. Months supply of inventory sat at 3.7 in San Diego Country Estates versus 3.6 for Ramona overall, so both are sitting in the same balanced band.
The gap in median price is worth reading carefully rather than quickly. In June the two medians were identical at $850,000. On 9 sales in a single month, a $26,500 difference reflects which particular homes happened to close, not a divergence between the two markets. For the full breakdown, including the price tiers and inventory detail specific to that community, see the July 2026 San Diego Country Estates detached homes market report.
Want a straight read on your situation?
The numbers in this report are medians across all of Ramona. Your home is not a median, and which side of that price split you fall on changes the advice completely. I will give you an honest assessment of where your property sits, including telling you if waiting makes more sense than listing right now.
