Year-Over-Year Comparison

What This Means
Newport Beach's luxury market is showing classic summer softness despite strong year-over-year gains. July saw a modest dip in both sales volume and median prices compared to June, with homes taking roughly a week longer to sell. While the 1.8% month-over-month decline is minor, it suggests buyer momentum has cooled as we move deeper into summer—a pattern typical for high-end coastal markets where serious purchasers often pause before fall. The 96.8% sale-to-list ratio remains healthy, indicating sellers aren't dramatically overpricing, though the expanding inventory of 403 active listings gives buyers more negotiating power than earlier this year.
The year-over-year perspective tells a more encouraging story. Median prices are up a substantial 26.8% since July 2025, reflecting the broader strength that's defined Southern California luxury real estate over the past year. The modest uptick in sales volume year-over-year suggests the market is sustaining interest despite higher rates and economic headwinds. With active listings sitting at 104 days on market—higher than the current 88-day average—there's inventory building rather than a shortage, which should keep price appreciation measured going forward.
