Long Beach Metro Prices

Market update March 2026

The basic story here is that, for the entire area covered by Pacific West Board of Realtors in cities on either side of the the Orange County line, single family median sales prices in March of this year are somewhat higher than the last two years, while the condo prices are hovering for March, but have trended upward on a year-to-date basis. This varies by areas, of course.  Condos in Long Beach have been taking longer to sell in many cases.
