What This Means
Long Beach's housing market continues its steady climb into summer, with median prices reaching $915,000 in July—up 10.6% year-over-year and maintaining upward momentum with a 1.7% monthly gain. While sales volume dipped slightly month-over-month, this appears to be normal seasonal softness rather than a meaningful shift in buyer interest. The market remains quite balanced, with homes selling at 99.7% of list price and moving in about 71 days, suggesting neither desperation nor extreme scarcity. Sellers maintain the upper hand, though not overwhelmingly so.
What's striking is the spread between median and average prices—a $417,000 gap that points to a market heavily influenced by luxury sales. This means the "typical" Long Beach home sells faster and closer to asking price than aggregate averages suggest. With over 1,150 active listings on the market, inventory levels are healthy compared to pandemic-era scarcity, giving buyers genuine choice for the first time in years.
The slightly faster absorption rate (down to 71 days from 75) hints that the Fed's more stable interest rate environment may be helping. For buyers considering Long Beach, patience is finally paying dividends—you have options, and homes aren't vanishing in bidding wars anymore.
