Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Monterey is building in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up compared with a year ago and sitting at 133 homes. Even with more choices, contract activity is strong, as pending sales have surged nearly 48% year over year and closed sales have also increased.
Pricing has eased from last year, with the typical home value down about 12% year over year even as the current median list price still tops $1.09 million. Sellers are adjusting to conditions, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio just under 98% and only about 16% of homes selling above their asking price.
Time on market has shortened notably, with the median days on market down sharply from a year ago to roughly a month and months of supply tightening to about 3.1. With Monterey still registering as a seller’s market but offering buyers more inventory and moderating prices, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these trends and can guide their next move.

“Working with Jason was easy. He made this sale seamless.”
Century 21 Select Real Estate, Inc.
“Denise was wonderful to work with. She is experienced, knows the market inside and out, and is 100% professional in every way. I was amazed at her organizational skills and her patience. She worked incredibly well with a myriad of inspectors and vendors, while paying strict attention and tracking every detail. And, she’s a lovely person, to boot! I highly recommend working with Denise, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Thanks, Denise!!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Amy Mosley. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process, but she made everything feel much easier with her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. What stood out most was how she managed the necessary preparations to get the place in the best salable condition. Being out of state I was so impressed with her commitment to direct the necessary upgrades, which ended up to be a huge job. She listened to my needs, kept me informed, and made sure I felt comfortable with each decision along the way. Her expertise and dedication went far beyond simply selling a property, she strives to maximize the property market potential, and that proved to be true. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for an highly experienced and professional real estate agent who genuinely cares about her clients and delivers exceptional results.”

“I can't say enough about our experience in purchasing a home with Carrie by our side! It seemed more like a friend we've had for a very long time assisting us along the way than a hired Real Estate Agent. Her knowledge, experience, quick reaction to anything that may pop up in a home purchase was beyond what I would have imagined. We had dealt with two prior realtors and I felt no common connection, just a person trying to make a sale. Every connection she has at her reach is extremely expedient, knowledgeable, and professional. It was a bit saddening when we closed because we knew our short encounter had come to its end. We were able to close 6 days early and she was quick to facilitate with ease. I've made contact requesting various information of our new purchase and assistance with various contractors, she was as quick to respond with positive out outcome as she was when she was seeking our business. Thank you so very much Carrie!! I will appreciate our encounter for ever!”

“Justin is the agent you need. This is my second time with him and he's just getting better. The quality and value and experience he has is unmatched. You need somebody that is going to fight for you, somebody that leaves no stone unturned and can give you peace of mind. We had several obstacles to overcome and he held my hand the whole time. He knows how to strategize, think on his feet, and he'll literally predict the entire process as you watch it play out in real time. He knows everybody in the business, but not just in his field. He has a "rolodex" of the best service providers (ie Handyman, Loan officers, Cleaning, landscaping, contractors, etc) who I've become close with all of them and use them still. Our challenges occured during the gov't shutdown. He stayed the course while the odds were against us. I have been referring clients to him for 15 years now. I trust him and he delivers and he cares. He not only earns his commish, he puts it to work FOR YOU. That's VALUE MY FRIENDS”

“Coming from a marketing backgound. Jack Ma's a methodical and analytical approach resonnated with me from the start. You may get lucky with one sale. But in the long run, a comprehensive plan yields more consistant results. I spoke with 2 other realtors before deciding to list with Jack Ma. The other realtors were nice enough and seemed familiar with my locality, but didn't present a thorough marketing plan. Ultimatly, that's what swayed me and Jack delivered! Highly recommended!”

“Working with Gabby was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the sale of my home. Her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful process feel much more manageable. I always felt informed and supported, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome. I would happily work with Gabby again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and dependable real estate professional.”

“I had an amazing experience working with Rienee Duran from day one. She was incredibly patient as I searched for the right home and always took the time to answer all of my questions. She explained every step of the process so clearly, was very communicative, and made sure I understood everything along the way. As a single mom, buying a home can feel overwhelming and even a little scary, but Rienee made the process so much easier. I truly believe God placed her in my path at the right time. She also connected me with an amazing loan officer, Sindee, who took the time to walk me through all the financial details and really helped me understand the numbers. She truly went above and beyond, and not only will I miss working with her, but my kids will miss her too. I would absolutely work with Rienee again for any future real estate needs and feel so grateful for her guidance through this journey.”
Century 21 Discovery
“Absolutely love working with Lauren! She protects you as the buyer and ensures that you feel protected and safe and knowledgeable at all times. She will also do her best to get you the information that you need, she is extremely resourceful and highly professional at her job. Thanks again, Lauren for helping me find my home!”
