Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Monterey’s rolling three-month snapshot shows a market with steady activity and tightening options for shoppers. Active listings are up slightly about 5% from a year ago, yet months of supply has dropped dramatically over the same period, falling from 4.5 to 2.6 months, which reinforces a seller-leaning environment even as buyers have a bit more to choose from.
Pricing has been adjusting in a nuanced way. Typical home values are roughly 8% lower than a year ago, but the median list price is up about 4% year over year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is holding just under 99%, signaling that sellers are still achieving prices near their expectations.
Buyer and seller behavior together point to solid demand despite longer timelines. Homes sold have surged nearly 56% compared with last year’s rolling three-month period, even as median days on market have stretched from 32 to 40 days and roughly 29% of sales are now closing above list price. In this evolving backdrop, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands Monterey’s current dynamics and can help them navigate their next move with confidence.

“I met Alicia at an open house, and she was friendly and approachable from the start. She took the time to show me around, answer my questions, and offer helpful suggestions on what to look for in a home. I appreciated her insight and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her!”
“I worked with Megan twice: first when I bought my home, and again six years later when I sold it. Both times she was outstanding. When I was buying, Megan asked a lot of thoughtful questions to understand what I actually needed and wanted, and she came with me to every showing. She paid attention to how I felt about each house we saw and based her recommendations on my reactions, which helped us zero in on the right place. She also suggested areas I hadn’t considered and was incredibly informative about the different builders and neighborhoods, which helped me feel confident in my decision. When a relocation meant I had to sell, I wasn’t going to be in the area to handle the details. Megan took care of everything for me, from start to finish. She arranged the inspection, the stager, and the cleaners, so I didn’t have to coordinate any of it from a distance. When an incident the day before closing required a repair, she handled that too. My house sold in just 6 days, and we received a little more than the asking price. I can’t recommend Megan highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly looks out for you, she’s the one to call.”
“When I decided too sell my home I explored the idea of listing it myself since homes in my neighborhood tend to sell easily and fast. After meeting with 3 different realty groups I decided to go with Samples Realty Group not wanting to deal with everything involved in selling it myself. I made the right choice. Michelle and David were very professional and helpful from signing the listing agreement to passing on the keys to the buyer. I was already in process of driving to my new home across the country when the listing started. They were very helpful in dealing with any issues that came up and helped keep the place in top showing condition. We decided that staging the home was the best thing to do and it proved to be the case. Their stager was excellent and it really brightened the home and showed off it's possibilities. In the end, I sold in a week and at a very attractive price. I highly recommend you consider Michelle and David.”
“Mike and Travis did an incredible job with every aspect of selling my home. Their expertise, communication, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence made the process smooth and successful from beginning to end. I felt comfortable and confident that I was in great hands the minute I met them. Speaking of hands, they are not afraid to get their hand dirty. I highly recommend Mike and Travis Real Estate Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Five stars all the way! *****”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Rachel Graham on our home purchase. The entire process was incredibly smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. She was responsive (to my many many questions), knowledgeable, and stayed on top of every detail to help us successfully close in just 8 days! We really appreciated the clear communication and guidance throughout the process. Everything moved quickly without ever feeling chaotic or rushed. We would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a realtor who is professional and dependable.”
“Alfredo did an outstanding job assisting me with the sale of my townhouse. He was very quick in helping get the property ready for showings and helped keep the entire process stress free thanks to his knowledge and responsiveness throughout. I definitely will not hesitate to use Alfredo again or to recommend him to my family and friends.”
“Fred was introduced to us by our good friend. We got in touch with him immediately and he was so knowledgeable and helpful with navigating our real estate needs. He went above and beyond when selling our place. He can take care of the sale end to end as he has a good network of contractors and completely takes the stress off your shoulders. I highly recommend Fred for your real estate needs.”
“Candace Colton did an outstanding job as my realtor in purchasing my new home. She guided me in every step of the way, was friendly and professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. I really appreciate how available and present she was for me whenever I needed her for anything. I found her to be very reliable and knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate transactions. I highly recommend Candace to anyone needing an excellent real estate agent. Thank you Candace, for all your help in getting me into my new home! Tara B.”
“Dylan is incredible! He is truly excellent at what he does. We still can’t believe we were able to buy our first home in our dream location, and it’s all thanks to him. He is so patient with his clients, and because he’s a handyman himself, his knowledge of home repairs was invaluable during our tours. He helped us feel confident in every decision we made. Rest assured, he is the best!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Jess Danielle throughout the entire selling and escrow process! Jess was always available for answering questions as well as providing solid business counsel on how to address the issues related to selling a home. Jess definitely went "above and beyond" to make the sale complete, all the while maintaining her demeanor with dedicated professionalism. I would highly recommend Jess to those who are seeking to sell their home!”
“Robin was a dream agent. She was very professional and attentive to every detail in the long process of updating and selling a Gilroy country property with an older (very vintage) home. We were so fortunate that she was able to help us for over a year with invaluable advice, ideas, and referrals for a number of upgrades. Selling a parent’s property was an emotional undertaking and Robin was always patient and understanding during the many ups and downs of the process. We really enjoyed working with Robin and she earned every penny of her commission.”
“ConnieJo was the hardest working and most savvy agent I have ever heard of! With all of us living out of town, her hands on approach was necessary. She directed and handled extensive work on the house, the photos and marketing. The result was a quick sale above asking price.”
“Michael is an outstanding agent. He knows the Monterey Peninsula inside and out, and he was always available to us to answer questions. Michael is articulate, knowledgeable, and constantly presented himself in a professional manner no matter how heated the negotiations were He assisted with our choice and it was so wonderful to have Michael to consult with. Highly recommended!”
“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Jordy Bharati during my home search in the Bay Area, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Jordy's deep knowledge of the local market, combined with his proactive communication and personalized approach, made the entire process seamless. He took the time to understand my preferences, provided valuable insights, and was always available to answer questions. Thanks to his expertise, I found a home that truly fits my needs. I highly recommend Jordy to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”
“Kim was outstanding. She is extremely professional yet very personable. She went out of her way to ensure our home sold, going out of her way to ensure it closed on time. She immediately set out a plan that actually got us over the asking price. I will always be grateful for her. We have another house to sell, and Kim will be our realtor. We have bought and sold several houses. This was the best experience ever. Thank you, Kim!”
“Robert has been extremely helpful as we are grateful we had him as our agent for finding the home we were looking for. He has been very courteous and patient in showing the homes we were interested in and also very knowledgeable on the ups and downs of the options we looked at. Me and my family are very thankful to Robert for his dedication and timeliness in finding us a home.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Eric Wason to sell my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From our first conversation to closing day, Eric was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions or offer guidance. He made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. His understanding of the market and his attention to detail helped me get a great outcome. I truly appreciate his dedication and highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“I could not be more happy with the work that Sheila Urbanek did for me on finding, negotiating, and finishing the real estate deal. It was a long process finding me the perfect home, and Sheila was patiently there every step of the way, answering questions and providing me guidance. Thank you Sheila!”
