This report summarizes activity and pricing for detached 4-bedroom+ single-family homes in Laguna Niguel in September 2026. First, new listings, active listings and months of supply decreased, while pending and closed sales were unchanged. In addition, the median sale price declined and the average sale price increased. Furthermore, homes sold at a wider discount to original list price than in the prior period.
Listing and Sales Activity
New listings were 22, down 26.7%, and active listings decreased 20% to 64. By contrast, pending sales were unchanged at 15 (0%), and closed sales were unchanged at 18 (0%). As a result, months of supply was 3.2, down 28.9%.
| Active listings decreased 20% and new listings decreased 26.7%, so fewer homes were added to inventory than in the prior period. As a result, months of supply of 3.2 is below the levels typically associated with a balanced market. In addition, pending sales of 15 are close to the 18 closed sales this month, which may support similar closed-sale volume in the coming month, though results vary. |

Days on Market
Median days on market was 30, up 7.1%. Average days on market was 59, up 63.9%. Notably, the average is roughly double the median, which indicates that a number of homes with long time on market raised the average, while the typical home that sold took about a month.
Pricing
Median price per square foot was $767, down 1.4%, and average price per square foot was $775, down 2.8%. In contrast, median sale price was $1,950,000, down 4.3%, while average sale price was $2,315,278, up 5.5%.
The average sale price is about $365,000 above the median, which indicates that higher-priced sales raised the average. The median and average moved in opposite directions, while price per square foot declined slightly at both measures. Therefore, this is consistent with a different mix of homes closing, with a few higher-priced sales raising the average, rather than a uniform change in values. Finally, with only 18 closed sales, the mix of properties has a large effect on these figures.
Turning to negotiation, sale-to-last-list price was 97.2% at the median (-1.1%) and 97.3% at the average (-1.1%). Similarly, sale-to-original-list price was 94.8% at the median (-2.3%) and 95.4% at the average (-1.1%). In other words, homes that sold did so at roughly 3% below last list price and 5% below original list price at the median.
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 3.2 with 64 active listings, which provides more selection than the Laguna Niguel 3-bedroom segment but remains below levels typically associated with a balanced market. In addition, homes sold at a median of 97.2% of last list price and 94.8% of original list price, which indicates some room for negotiation. That said, results depend on the specific property, its condition, and its pricing.
|
FOR SELLERS
Sellers received a median of 97.2% of last list price and 94.8% of original list price, with a median of 30 days on market. Fewer new listings and a 20% decrease in active inventory reduce competing supply. However, the average of 59 days on market indicates that some homes took considerably longer to sell. For this reason, pricing in line with recent comparable sales from the start may reduce the gap between original list price and sale price.
