$695,000
Days on Market
76 Days
Active Listings
394+
The Murrieta market continues to show healthy activity as we move through late summer. The median listing price sits at $695,000, with homes spending a median of 76 days on market. Inventory remains robust at over 394 active listings, offering buyers a solid selection across Murrieta's varied neighborhoods.
Compared to this time last year, prices have eased slightly, giving buyers more negotiating room than they had during the peak of the market. Sellers should focus on pricing competitively and presenting their homes in top condition. Homes that are well-priced and move-in ready continue to attract interest and go pending faster than the overall average. With interest rates holding steady, now is an excellent time for both buyers and sellers to explore their options with a knowledgeable local agent.
Anthony's Lounge & Ristorante
Authentic Italian Dining in Downtown Murrieta
A true Murrieta institution, Anthony's Lounge & Ristorante has been serving authentic Italian cuisine since 2008. Located on Washington Avenue in downtown Murrieta, this family-owned gem is the oldest family-run restaurant in the Murrieta/Temecula area and was named Best of Southland: Italian Restaurant by the LA Times in 2022. Every dish is made from scratch using time-honored family recipes passed down through generations.
What to order: Start with the Famous Artichoke & Spinach Dip served with parmigiana-crusted flatbread. For the main course, the Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops and the Fettuccine Michaelangelo (sliced chicken breast and sun-dried tomatoes in a tomato-cream sauce) are local favorites. The Gnocchi Alla Vodka and Homemade Sausage Ravioli showcase the kitchen's dedication to handmade pasta. Save room for the tiramisu.
