Is the Glendora Market Heating Up or Cooling Down? January 2026 Insights
In the national headlines, you’ll hear words like "crash" or "bubble." In Glendora, the reality is much more boring (and that’s a good thing). We are currently in a "Balanced Market Transition."
Here is the "Temperature Check" for January 2026:
Why it feels "Cool":
- Negotiations are Back: Buyers are once again asking for credit for repairs and closing costs. In 2025/2026, "as-is" sales are becoming rarer.
- Price Adjustments: We are seeing about 25% of listings take a price cut after 21 days. This doesn't mean the market is crashing; it means sellers are starting with "aspirational" pricing and the market is correcting them.
Why it feels "Hot":
- The "Under $850k" Scarcity: If a single-family home hits the market under $850,000 in Glendora, it’s still gone in a week. The entry-level market is still incredibly competitive.
- Limited New Construction: Aside from the Route 66 condos, there isn't much new land. This "scarcity of dirt" keeps Glendora values insulated from the volatility seen in the Inland Empire.
The Verdict for 2026: We are in a "Healthy Plateau." Sellers are still getting great prices (near record highs), and buyers are finally getting a seat at the table to negotiate. It is a win-win environment for those who have a clear strategy and a long-term outlook.

Whether you are buying or selling, the "Plateau" requires a different playbook. Let’s discuss yours.
