Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Surf City’s rolling three-month numbers show notable price growth and shifting dynamics. The typical home value is up more than a quarter from last year, while the median list price has surged even faster, rising by over 80 percent.
On the activity side, homes sold in this rolling period increased by about two-thirds compared with a year ago, and new listings are also higher. At the same time, pending sales have slipped year-over-year, suggesting buyers may be taking longer to commit despite the heavier flow of inventory.
Looking at the latest three-month snapshot through September 2026, Surf City has 36 active listings and a months-of-supply figure around 5, with homes typically taking about 47 days to go under contract. Only about one in four sales closed above the asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent, indicating that pricing is close to, but not consistently exceeding, list levels. In this environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an expert local agent who understands these evolving conditions and can guide them through each step of the process.

“Dan is the best realtor my husband and I have worked with. He's easy to get in touch with and always goes above and beyond for his clients. We cannot wait to work with Dannin the future for our forever home.”
“Dan is the best realtor my husband and I have worked with. He goes above and beyond for his clients and he’s always easy to touch bases with! We cannot wait to work with him again when we’re finding our forever home.”
“I need to be clear about my feeling on real estate agents-I don’t like them, at all. I need to share my new found appreciation for this one specifically. This is the 4th home for me. Evan had been incredibly accommodating, always available with notice. He knew what I was looking for and understood my needs. Evan felt like my young brother, always telling me what he thought would be good as well as no good for me. Often checking homes prior to wasting our valuable time. After over a year, yes a year, he never pressured me to bid on anything !! He wasn’t even disappointed when I threw in the towel on 2 homes. If I needed another agent, I most certainly would give this gentleman a call. You will not be disappointed !!!”
“I had an excellent experience working with Madalina! She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. She helped me negotiate the price and made the entire home-buying process easy and stress-free. She always had answers to my questions, very responsive, and on top of every detail. I would definitely recommend Madalina to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“My experience with Raphaela was amazing . She was very helpful communicative and knowledgeable, when it came to finding my apartment. I highly recommend her to help you find your home.”
“Highly recommend! Michael and everyone he works with throughout the home buying process were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Everyone was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. As first time homebuyers, our questions and concerns were addressed promptly. We cannot thank him enough for helping us find our first home!”
“We had an excellent experience working with Michael to sell our home. From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and always kept us informed every step of the way.

We felt that his knowledge and expertise played a big part in achieving such a quick and successful sale. Most importantly, he was honest, transparent, and professional throughout the entire process, which gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. We are extremely grateful for all of his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! He truly went above and beyond to provide a great experience! Thank you, Michael! Michael and Zenny Bergendorff”
“My journey with Justin began when my parents bought the house that I now sold. I was the Executrix to my Parents estate. I knew I needed a compassionate but hardworking relator during a very difficult time. Justin hit all the marks. My brother and I needed some grieving time and Justin totally understood that. He came over gave us a listing price and time frame that hit all the marks. It was early December when our father passed and I just wasn’t ready and Justin advised us that the market would be better early spring. That time frame was exactly what we needed and exactly what the market dictated. The house was under contract in about two months. His team got us many showings, fabulous turn outs at our open houses and multiple offers. He never over promised. He was realistic, professional and compassionate which was exactly what I needed. He was always available to answer any questions and gave solid advice. I would recommend Justin and the Cresi Group team a million times over. He is the no brainer choice.”
“Working with Eugene was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had my best interests in mind every step of the way. His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication made the entire buying/selling process smooth and stress-free. He always took the time to answer my questions, kept me informed, and went above and beyond to ensure everything went perfectly. I highly recommend Eugene to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hardworking, and exceptional realtor. Five stars all the way!”
“Anna and her assistant, Erin, were amazing to work with! I've rented through Anna before, and she never disappoints. This year, I was searching for a rental at the last minute, and Anna and Erin went above and beyond to find my family the perfect house in Ocean Beach 2, exactly where we wanted to stay. The house was located on the lagoon and was beautifully decorated, spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. I highly recommend Anna Fiore and RE/MAX Realty for both rentals and home sales. Anna is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping her clients. Whether you're looking to rent a vacation home or buy or sell property, you're in excellent hands with Anna and her team! Thank you Anna and Erin for making this rental stress-free and wonderful vacation!! We will definitely contact you again next year and years to come!”
“On a lazy Saturday morning over a cups of coffee, my wife and I saw a listing on Zillow that interested us. Our interest was further peaked that afternoon when we happened to drive by the property on the way to visiting a friend. We told our friends about the property and they recommended Susan, who they used to represent them several years prior. We wanted to see the property so we called Susan who quickly arranged an appointment to see it on Monday morning. We met at the property and Susan explained to us the listing history and some of the history of the house itself. When my wife and I decided to make an offer, Susan clearly explained the process and assisted us through the negotiation, contract signing, and the inspection. She even helped us in securing financing and saw the process through closing. Susan truly made the purchase as seemless as possible. She is a true professional and we would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to family and friends.”
“Working with Tammy was an incredible experience. Finding a space for a church isn't easy, especially with zoning and variance challenges. We had several agents start the process, but many didn't follow through. Tammy was different. She remained consistent, persistent, and committed from beginning to end. She truly understood our vision, never gave up when obstacles came, and kept working until we found the right place. Thanks to Tammy's dedication, Kingdom Insight Church has a place we can now call home. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and follows through, I highly recommend Tammy.”
“Alisa did a nice job with getting the process rolling and helped me get it listed and we figured out the unknowns she has not dealt with before to get the sale over the finish line.”
“Gabriella was amazing to work with. She helped me find a house to rent and made the whole process so much easier than I expected. She was always quick to respond, answered all my questions, and really looked out for me the whole way through. I’m super grateful for all her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.”
“I would highly recommend Nancy Phander as a realtor. I was selling my elderly mother’s home and Nancy made the entire process incredibly smooth. Her expertise in the local market was clear from day one. Nancy was extremely professional, communicative, on top of every issue and was hands on. I felt totally supported and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her.”
“Jay is too tier. He didn’t just sell me a home. He worked side by side with me through the entire process. He never let me down even when others did. Home buying is a very stressful time and jay and his team work so hard to give you the best home and the best options. If you are looking for a great home and great guy to help you find it. Jay is the guy”
“Anthony was the perfect person for our house hunting journey! He was professional, down to earth, always willing to answer our silly questions and never wavered when we ran into snags. He was with us every step of the way giving his opinion and expertise on the right home for us. Could not have asked for a better realtor than Anthony. He found us our dream home and we are forever grateful!”
“Harmony did an outstanding job helping us sell our house. She is very knowledgeable, professional, responsive and patient. We were able to get full asking price for our house. I would definitely recommend her any time.”
“Nicole is an excellent real estate agent, but has knowledge that reaches far beyond just real estate transactions. She made every single step in the process seamless, and I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to help my daughter purchase her first home.”
