Homes in Indio are taking longer to sell than anywhere else in the Coachella Valley
Regional real estate data shows buyers are securing steeper discounts across the valley but overall sales remain 23% below historic averages.
According to the latest Greater Palm Springs Realtors (GPSR) Desert Housing Report, the median price for an average-sized detached home in Indio fell 3% to $615,00 compared to the year before while attached home prices fell 3% to $292,000.
All valley cities saw decreases in detached home prices year-over-year, ranging from a drop of .6% in Bermuda Dunes to an almost 8% drop in Coachella. The attached market had a wider variation, from a price increase of almost 25% in Indian Wells to a drop of 45% in Desert Hot Springs.
The median price of an average-sized detached home in the Coachella Valley last month was $654,000, a decrease of 5.2% compared to last year. Attached home prices were down 2.2% to $455,000.
Indio recorded 93 sales during the three-month period ending in June, an increase of 10 homes compared to 2025. Palm Desert and Palm Springs saw the highest volume of sales but valley-wide, sales are down about 23% below average.
The report measured the valley’s housing inventory divided by recent sales, and determined that the housing market is moving into a more balanced market, not favoring either buyers or sellers.
Indio’s inventory of housing units shrank compared to last year, with 384 homes on the market at the start of this month compared to 432 last year. Valley-wide, inventory is down almost 11% year-over-year to 2,965 units.
Homes are selling at a slightly higher discount this year, and a lower percentage of homes are selling over list price.
Compared to other valley cities, homes in Indio are taking longer to sell than anywhere else, continuing last month’s trend. The average home took 57 days to sell compared to 46 last year. In Coachella homes are selling in an average of just 18 days.
