Cautiously positive for condo buyers: late‑2025/early‑2026 data showed selective recovery in condo submarkets while single‑family pricing is mixed. Expect mid‑$1M+ neighborhood medians; condition and retrofit needs materially affect value. Buyers should budget for inspections and possible seismic/plumbing upgrades.
