Riverside Area
Own vs Rent Trends
A higher share of owner-occupied homes often reflects stronger long-term ties to the community, since homeowners are more likely to stay in one place and invest in their neighborhoods. By contrast, areas with a larger renter population may be more transient, offering flexibility but sometimes less stability in housing markets.
It could also be an indication of market health, as affordable markets often have higher owner-occupancy rates.
The home listing price-to-income ratio in the Riverside area is 6.7
The ratio compares how expensive homes are in Riverside relative to household income. A higher ratio means homes cost more compared to what people earn.
A healthy price-to-income ratio is generally around 3 times your household's annual income (or less), but higher ratios can be sustainable depending on your rate, DTI, and more.

Pending Homes-for-Sale %
Percentage of Homes Sold per Month
This chart shows the percentage of homes that sold each month, highlighting buyer demand and long-term market trends. In most markets, around 20% of listings selling each month is considered balanced. Higher percentages point to a strong sellers' market, while lower percentages indicate more favorable conditions for buyers.
Largest overall VA lender (purchase and refinance) for seven of the last ten years.
More VA purchase loans than any other lender for the past 10 consecutive years
Over the last six years, Veterans United made more VA purchase loans than USAA, Navy Federal Credit Union, Rocket Mortgage, Wells Fargo and Freedom Mortgage combined.
Whether it's a buyer's or seller's market can make a big difference, and knowing the difference upfront can save VA buyers a lot of frustration. Even in desirable areas like beach neighborhoods, affordability matters most. Understand what you can comfortably afford in a monthly mortgage, not rent, because that's the foundation for finding the right home.
