The short answer
Christine Almarines wants to know if you would like a monthly market report for your city, or a short note on your own home, sent to your email. She already reports on Cerritos and Buena Park and could look at covering your area too. Comment, email, or book a time to tell her.
This is a question, not a finished product. Tell me which city and what you would want in it. Your answers help me decide what to build.
Christine Almarines is a top real estate agent in Buena Park and Cerritos helping homeowners sell in Orange County and Los Angeles County. Replying commits you to nothing.
The numbers below are a sample of what a report could show: single-family detached homes from CRMLS, January 2025 through September 2026. Los Angeles County figures cover only LA County homes in CRMLS and may not include every sale. A home-specific note is based on recent comparable sales and is not an appraisal.
Would you want a monthly market report for your city?
If you wonder what your home is worth, a monthly market report for your city would put your area’s numbers in your inbox. Christine is asking who wants one before she builds it.
Christine puts together market reports on single-family homes in Cerritos, Buena Park, Orange County and Los Angeles County from CRMLS data. Would a Cerritos market report, a Buena Park market report, or an Orange County and LA County market report be useful in your email each month? Would you rather see your own city, or a monthly home value report built around your address?
What would a monthly city report show?
A city report would show what sold, for how much, how fast, and how many homes came on the market. Here is a sample.
Single-family detached homes, from the California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS), pulled October 3, 2026. Los Angeles County figures cover only LA County homes in CRMLS and may not include every sale in the county. This is a sample of what a report could show.
| Q3 2026 (Q3 2025 in parentheses) | Cerritos | Buena Park | Orange County | Los Angeles County |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average sale price | $1,221,457 ($1,211,063) | $1,045,412 ($1,002,350) | $2,090,835 ($1,880,358) | $1,551,572 ($1,436,531) |
| Change in average price | Up 0.9% | Up 4.3% | Up 11.2% | Up 8.0% |
| Average days active in MLS | 17 (25) | 25 (24) | 33 (34) | 35 (35) |
| Percent of original price received | 99.7% (100.6%) | 98.5% (98.1%) | 97.9% (97.3%) | 98.8% (98.2%) |
| New listings | 76 (54) | 77 (84) | 3,972 (4,170) | 12,638 (13,337) |
| Closed sales | 59 (50) | 67 (80) | 3,174 (3,271) | 8,258 (8,229) |
How to read it:
- Average sale price covers the homes that closed in the quarter. An average is not any one home’s price.
- Average days active is how long homes were listed as active in the MLS. Cerritos homes averaged 17 days in Q3 2026, compared with 39 days across the broader CRMLS region.
- Percent of original price received compares the sale price to the first list price, so price cuts count.
- New listings and closed sales show supply and activity. Cerritos new listings rose 41% to 76, while Buena Park closed sales fell 16% to 67.
What could a report on your own home add?
A home note would add what recent comparable sales near your home suggest. It is not an appraisal and not a guarantee of value.
A city average describes the whole area. Your home has its own size, condition and updates. A home note looks at similar homes that sold nearby. It needs your address. Christine already offers this as a complimentary market evaluation. She is asking whether you would want a note like that each month.
Which cities could you ask about?
Any city where you live or are thinking of buying. Christine already puts together reports on Cerritos, Buena Park, Orange County and Los Angeles County.
She also works in the surrounding cities:

Why would a monthly report help you?
A monthly report shows what is happening in your own area. A report on your own area answers a different question than regional headlines do.
- Know where your area stands. Orange County’s average sale price rose 11.2% in Q3 2026, while Cerritos rose 0.9%, according to CRMLS. Two areas, two very different pictures.
- See when activity picks up or slows. New listings, closed sales and days active make timing a sale or purchase less of a guess.
- Stop guessing from headlines. National stories rarely match your street.
