Late September finds the Murrieta market with steady supply and a measured pace. An early-September snapshot of active listings across the city put roughly 400 properties on the market with a median list price near $699,999 and homes averaging about 74 days on market. Median sale prices continue to hover in the roughly $666,000 to $690,000 range depending on the source, while typical home values sit near $644,000, about 2% below where they stood a year ago.
For buyers, that combination means real inventory to tour and a little breathing room in negotiations.

With supply healthy and days on market running well into the double digits, this late-September window favors thoughtful, patient decisions. An experienced local agent who knows Murrieta neighborhood by neighborhood can help you sort through the options and move with confidence.
Calhoun Family Texas Barbeque
Smoked Texas BBQ in Historic Downtown Murrieta
Calhoun Family Texas Barbeque is a small, family-owned smokehouse tucked into historic downtown Murrieta on Washington Avenue. The kitchen turns out genuinely smoked Texas-style brisket, baby back ribs, pulled pork, and hot link sausage alongside hearty Southern sides, and locals regularly call it some of the best barbecue in the Murrieta and Temecula Valley. Reviewers give it around 4.7 stars across more than 140 reviews, praising the generous portions, the friendly service, and that unmistakable "mama's kitchen" feel.
What to order: The brisket is the signature, and the baby back ribs are the most-ordered dish on the menu. Regulars also circle the calendar for the personal-sized sweet potato pie, baked in limited batches Wednesday through Saturday, which routinely sells out. Sauce is served on the side, as it should be.
Address: 24710 Washington Ave, Ste 11, Murrieta, CA 92562 · (951) 698-3777
