Market Overview
This report covers detached 3-bedroom single-family homes in Laguna Niguel for September 2026.
First, new listings, active listings and closed sales increased, while pending sales decreased.
In addition, days on market shortened, and homes sold at or near list price.
With only 15 closed sales, month-to-month changes can reflect the specific homes that sold.
Listing and Sales Activity
Inventory
New listings were 11, up 57.1%. Active listings increased 21.4% to 17.
Months of supply was 2.1, up 5%. This remains below levels typically associated with a balanced market.
Sales
Closed sales increased 50% to 15. In contrast, pending sales decreased 33.3% to 6.
| Pending sales of 6 are well below the 15 closed sales. For that reason, closed sales may be fewer next month, though results vary. |

Days on Market
Median days on market was 21, down 55.3%. Average days on market was 35, down 32.7%.
Even so, the average is higher than the median. A few longer listings raised the average.
The typical home that sold did so in about three weeks.
Pricing
Sale Prices
Median sale price was $1,425,000, up 0.2%. Average sale price was $1,424,667, down 1.9%.
The median and average are nearly identical, so sale prices clustered around the same level.
Price per Square Foot
Median price per square foot was $859, up 0.2%. The average was $827, down 4.6%.
In contrast, the lower average suggests some larger homes sold at lower per-square-foot prices.
Because there were only 15 closed sales, the mix of homes still affects these figures.
Sale-to-List Ratios
Sale-to-last-list price was 100% at the median (+2.7%) and 98.7% at the average (+1%).
Similarly, sale-to-original-list price was 99% at the median (+2.6%) and 96.8% at the average (+0.8%).
A 100% median means at least half of the homes sold at or above their last list price.
However, the gap between median and average shows that some homes sold at larger discounts.
Sale prices in the pricing chart are shown in thousands of dollars divided by 10 so they can be displayed on the same scale as price per square foot.
Considerations for Buyers and Sellers
|
FOR BUYERS
Months of supply was 2.1 with 17 active listings, which indicates limited selection. In addition, homes sold at a median of 100% of last list price in a median of 21 days. As a result, buyers may have less room for negotiation and may need to act quickly. Nevertheless, results depend on the specific property. |
FOR SELLERS
Sellers received a median of 100% of last list price and 99% of original list price. Limited inventory and short days on market favor sellers. However, new listings increased 57.1% and pending sales decreased 33.3%, so competing inventory is being added. Even so, pricing in line with recent comparable sales remains the main factor. |
