28 Homes Sold in RS in the past 90 days 28 Sales $28,000 - $350,000 Median price $ 130,950 (at 95% of list price) Average days on market: 131 An interesting note is that 15 of the 28 were bank owned. 54% of the sales being bank owned, this is down from the previous 90 days where 63% of the sales were bank owned and the median price was $127,500. Hopefully this means the prices are stabalizing in Running Springs. We'll see what happens over the next 90 days.
