Fresno 93727: A Softer Seller’s Edge and a Shift in the Price Tiers
The last time we looked closely at Fresno 93727, the lowest-priced quarter of the market had the shortest listing time. This time, the middle tiers stand out. That change is a good reminder of why I like revisiting our ZIP codes rather than letting an old market headline do all the talking.

Pistachio Harvest Set to Plunge in 2026 Impacting Grower Revenue
A March heat wave combined with the natural alternate-bearing cycle of pistachio trees will likely reduce the 2026 harvest to less than half the 2025 record crop. Jeff Nichols, vice president of supply chain and grower relations at Nichols Farms in Hanford, says higher grower prices will not offset the smaller crop. He expects overall crop revenue to fall since prices won’t double while the harvest shrinks by half.

Council approves Tower District safety plan, special vendor lot-residents express concern
The Fresno city council approved a new resolution Thursday to establish a special geographic zone for street vendors in the Tower District — though residents and patrons of the city’s entertainment district aren’t fully sold on the idea. The city council voted unanimously at a special meeting to launch a pilot program that will move all street food vendors off the sidewalks and into a designated area for them to operate. For the next 90 days, vendors in the Tower District will be restricted to a vacant lot near Olive and Van Ness avenues from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday through Sunday. The area will be equipped with lighting, a security camera and security officers. Councilmember Nelson Esparza has been skeptical that street vendors are the root cause of safety issues in the Tower District. “Given the predicament we find ourselves in the Tower District, on the Olive strip, I was willing to entertain this temporary change,” Esparza said. A day before the council’s vote, a community meeting was held at the Tower Theater, during which city leaders heard residents’ concerns regarding Tower District safety and other issues. The meeting was originally organized by club MIA, though the city
