The Longmont housing market August 2026 report flips last month’s story. In July, Longmont posted the sharpest median sold price drop on the Front Range. In August it was the only one of these four markets where the median sold price rose — and it did so while inventory tightened even further.
The Big Picture
Longmont sits firmly in seller’s market territory with 3.42 months of inventory, down 5.79% from the previous month. Homes sold for 98.6% of list price, up 0.05%, and the median sold price came in at $585,000 — up 6.85%.
That reverses July’s 10% decline and supports what the forward-looking indicators were signaling last month: the July dip reflected which homes closed, not a drop in Longmont values.
Still the Tightest Inventory on the Front Range
Months supply of inventory fell 5.8% month over month and is down 27.8% year over year. At 3.42 months, Longmont again has the lowest supply of the four markets in this report — tighter than Castle Rock at 4.36, Denver at 5.09, and Boulder at 4.95.
Active listings fell 6.4% to 465 properties, with total active dollar volume down 2.7% to $490.6M. New listings, however, edged up 2.9% to 180 properties — a small counter-move against several months of contraction.
Speed to Sale
The median time a home spent in RPR (Realtors Property Resource) before selling was 44 days, up 29.41% from the prior month. Active listings are sitting a median of 56 days, up 5.7%.
This is the number that complicates an otherwise strong month. Longmont was selling in 32 days in July; August took nearly six weeks. Rising prices alongside a materially slower pace usually means the homes that did sell were at the higher end and took longer to find their buyer.
New and Pending Activity
New listings numbered 180 properties at a median list price of $542.5K, down 5.6%, with total volume of $131.9M and a median living area of 1,912 square feet.
New pending listings rose 5.9% to 126 properties at a median list price of $596K, up 2.9%, with a median of just 28 days in RPR and total volume up 20.6% to $92.4M. Pending listings overall held flat at 144 properties, at a median list price of $572.5K, up 1.6%.
Pending listings are homes under contract but not yet closed, so they preview where sold prices are heading. Longmont’s new pendings are going under contract at $596K — above August’s $585K median sold price — and doing it in 28 days. That is a healthier signal than the sold-side day count suggests.
Active Inventory
Active listings totaled 465 properties at a median list price of $565K, down 1.7%, with a median of 1,938 square feet of living area at $312 per square foot.
Sold Homes
120 homes sold in August, down 18.4%, at a median price of $585K and a sold-to-list ratio of 98.6%. Total sold volume reached $77.23M, down 15.8%, with median sold price per square foot at $292, down 2.3%.
Worth noting the pairing: median sold price rose 6.8% while median sold price per square foot fell 2.3%. Larger homes made up more of August’s closings. That is the mirror image of a pattern we have seen elsewhere this summer, and it is the main reason the headline price jumped.
Property Values Are Flat
The median estimated property value across Longmont came in at $581,290, down 0.8% for the month and down 0.8% over the past 12 months. Essentially flat over a full year — Longmont values have held remarkably steady while transaction counts swung around them.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For sellers, the fundamentals remain the strongest on the Front Range. At 3.42 months of inventory with active listings down 6.4%, your home faces less competition than a comparable listing in Denver, Boulder, or Castle Rock, and the 98.6% sold-to-list ratio is the highest of the four. But plan for the calendar: 44 days is a real change from 32, so build six weeks into any contingent purchase timeline.
For buyers, selection is still the constraint. With 465 active listings and supply down 27.8% year over year, the challenge is finding the right home rather than competing for it. The upside is time — 44 days on market gives you room to inspect and negotiate properly. On value, Longmont’s $312 per square foot on active listings continues to offer noticeably more space per dollar than Boulder, where active listings run $573.
As always, conditions vary by neighborhood and price point, so working with an agent familiar with the specific submarket remains valuable.
