This Week's Market Snapshot
Week of November 2, 2026 – November 8, 2026
Median Sold Price
$692,500
Median Days on Market
34
Months of Inventory
2.99
The most recent full city-level report for Murrieta covers September 2026 and was released in October. It puts Murrieta's median sold price at $692,500, with a median list price of $714,900, a median 34 days on market, and about 415 active listings. The report classifies the city as a seller's market with roughly three months of inventory (2.99 to be exact) and a 99.5 percent sale-to-list ratio, meaning homes are still closing at or very near their asking prices.
More recent snapshots point in the same direction. Movoto's November read on the Murrieta market shows a median list price near $679,000 with roughly 640 homes for sale and about 70 average days on market (a listing-based figure, not closed sales). Resideline's October update, which tracks a rolling six-month window of closings, shows a median sold price of $645,000 across 818 tracked sales, with a median listed-to-under-contract time of about 26 days.
The takeaway this week: Murrieta still leans toward sellers, but buyers have real leverage on homes that sit. Priced-right, well-presented properties are moving in about a month, while others linger and invite negotiation. Neighborhood-by-neighborhood perspective matters more than any single headline number, so reach out for a closer look at the areas you are watching.
Dada Sushi
A Local Favorite for Sushi and Happy Hour on California Oaks Road
Tucked into the California Oaks Center, Dada Sushi has earned a loyal following as one of Murrieta's go-to neighborhood sushi spots. Regulars keep it around 4.3 stars from more than 850 Yelp reviews, with a similar 4.7 on DoorDash, and reviewers consistently praise the fresh fish, generous portions, and friendly service. The happy hour is a particular favorite, with well-priced rolls that reviewers say leave two people comfortably full. The Crispy Rice Tuna Roll, Ocean Lobster Roll, and Blue Fin Tuna are among the most-ordered items, and the menu covers everything from classic California rolls to tempura udon and bento boxes.
What to order: Start with the Crispy Rice Tuna Roll or the Ocean Lobster Roll, then try the fresh sashimi or a bento box. Happy hour is the sweet spot for trying several rolls without breaking the budget.
