Long Beach currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge reading 22 and conditions tighter than a fully balanced environment. Months of supply sit at 3.6, indicating inventory is limited but not extreme. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio is nearly 100 percent, showing buyers are generally paying close to asking prices.
In this rolling three-month view through July 2026, typical home values are up about 4 percent year over year, while the median list price has risen a bit more than 3 percent. Sales activity has picked up, with homes sold increasing roughly 8 percent compared with a year earlier and new listings up about 5 percent, signaling more movement on both sides of the table.
Momentum over the past year also shows in contract activity and pricing strength. Pending sales are running nearly 4 percent higher than a year ago, and about 37 percent of homes are closing above list price, underscoring steady competition even as supply has grown from prior lows. Median days on market now hover around 41, longer than some past peaks but still short enough to favor prepared sellers. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate rising values or a seller aiming to capture strong demand, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Long Beach agent who understands these trends.
