Laguna Beach Market Report: June 2026
Detached 3-Bedroom Single Family Homes
Here's our monthly report on the Laguna Beach detached 3-bedroom single family market — the numbers that matter if you're buying, selling, or just keeping a pulse on the coast.
June told a story of a market getting leaner and more competitive. Inventory pulled back hard, sellers who did list found stronger footing, and closed sales jumped even as fewer homes came onto the market. If you've been waiting for a shift in negotiating power, this is worth a close read.

What's Behind the Numbers
Inventory is tightening fast. Active listings dropped nearly 39% year-over-year, and months of supply fell to 5.5 — a 43.9% drop. New listings were also down 13.3%. Put simply: fewer homes are coming to market, and fewer are sitting unsold. That combination is the clearest sign of a market regaining balance in sellers' favor after a looser stretch.
Closed sales surged while pending sales softened. A 42.9% jump in closed sales against an 8.3% dip in pending sales suggests June benefited from deals that were already in the pipeline finally crossing the finish line, even as fresh contract activity cooled slightly. Worth watching next month to see if pendings rebound.
Homes are moving faster. Median days on market fell to 30 (-11.8%) and average days on market to 39 (-11.45%). Well-priced, well-presented listings in this segment are not lingering.
Sellers are getting closer to their number. Buyers paid a median of 96.1% of last list price and 95.3% of original list price — both improvements or holds compared to a year ago, with the average-to-original-price gap actually widening by 3.1%. That tells me sellers who priced correctly out of the gate saw less erosion between list and sale.
Price per square foot cooled, but median sales price held up reasonably well. Average price per square foot dropped 13.8%, while median price per square foot was nearly flat (-0.8%). That gap usually points to a shift in the mix of homes that traded — likely fewer ultra-high-end or unusually large properties closing this month, pulling the average down without dragging the median with it. Median sales price ($2,840,000) and average sales price ($3,266,000) were both only modestly lower than last year, down 2.4% and 1.9% respectively — a sign of real underlying price stability despite the mix shift.
The Takeaway
Laguna Beach's detached 3-bedroom segment is showing the hallmarks of a market tightening up: less supply, faster sales, and sellers closing the gap between list price and final price. Buyers still have room to negotiate, but that room is shrinking. Sellers considering a move should take note — the conditions favor a well-priced, well-marketed listing right now.
