Year-over-year, Manhattan Beach has seen a sharp pullback in activity in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are down nearly three quarters compared with a year ago, and pending sales have been cut roughly in half over the same period. This steeper drop in supply than in prior periods supports its current classification as a strong seller’s market.
Looking at the latest rolling three months through May 2026, there is just 1 active listing and 1 pending sale, underscoring how thin inventory has become. Conditions now contrast with mid‑2025, when there were 4 active listings, 2 homes sold, and 2 pending sales, and with mid‑2024 when there were also 4 listings and a much higher months of supply near 9.2.
Recent history points to wide swings in pricing and time on market, with a median sale price of $760,000 and 49 days on market in late 2024 compared with $465,000 and 171 days on market in mid‑2025, and no recent closed‑sale pricing yet in the newest rolling period. Zero percent of homes sold above list in both mid‑2024 and mid‑2025, suggesting that buyers have had room to negotiate even as inventory tightens. With such limited options and nuanced trends, both buyers trying to time their offers and sellers aiming to price correctly can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent.
