The local real estate market's bounce-back continued throughout the first half of 2026.
New purchase contracts hit 171 in the first 6 months of 2026, the most since 2022 – a year that was still benefiting from ultra-low mortgage interest rates.
We saw more buyers go for Manhattan Beach properties than in the same period of 2025, which had a "front-loaded" boost of demand after the tragic LA County wildfires. This year's 171 bested 2025 by 7 new deals.
This year's pending sales were 35% higher than the anemic pace of 127 deals in 2023, when the market was in a deep freeze with mortgage rates higher and potential sellers sitting on their low rates, rather than trade out.
A note about methodology: These pending-sales data are built from MB Confidential's custom, hand-crafted data tracking. Twice each month, we take a snapshot of properties in escrow at that time, and tally how many are new, compared to the prior report.
Not every escrow sticks, of course. And some sales post to the MLS after working out their deal off-MLS.
We see extremely similar numbers in the count of closed sales, also. We'll chart those and more first-half data in posts right after the 4th.
Have an enjoyable holiday!
