If you have been waiting for Longmont’s market to loosen up, July was not the month. The Longmont housing market July 2026 report shows the lowest months of inventory of any Front Range market we track, with supply down more than 30% from a year ago. That scarcity is doing interesting things to the numbers.
The Big Picture
Longmont sits firmly in seller’s market territory with 3.31 months of inventory, down 7.8% from the previous month. Homes sold for 98.52% of list price, essentially unchanged, and the median sold price came in at $548.8K, down 10%.
Inventory: 3.31 Months and Falling
Months supply of inventory fell 7.8% month over month and is down 30.8% year over year. To put that in perspective, the general benchmark for a balanced market is around six months of supply. At 3.31 months, Longmont is tighter than Denver at 4.88, Boulder at 4.92, and Castle Rock at 4.12 in the same month.
Active listings fell 10.5% to 450 properties, with total active dollar volume down 7.2% to $490.7M. New listings pulled back hard as well, down 24% to 171 properties. Fewer sellers are coming to market, and the existing pool is thinning out.
Speed to Sale
The median time a home spent in RPR (Realtors Property Resource) before selling was 32 days, up 33.3% from the prior month. Active listings are sitting a median of 55 days, up 14.6%. Thirty-two days is a healthy, normal pace, and it is meaningfully faster than Boulder at 41 days or Castle Rock at 43.
New and Pending Activity
New listings numbered 171 properties at a median list price of $579K, up 0.7%, with total volume of $119.3M and a median living area of 2,017 square feet.
New pending listings fell 21.2% to 119 properties at a median list price of $580K, up 3.6%, with a median of 30 days in RPR. Pending listings overall numbered 142, down 19.8%, at a median list price of $557.2K, up 3.8%. Combined with fewer new listings, that suggests August closings will be lighter in count.
Active Inventory
Active listings totaled 450 properties at a median list price of $585K, up 1.7%, with a median of 2,010 square feet of living area at $320 per square foot.
Sold Homes and the Price Puzzle
144 homes sold in July, actually up 0.7% month over month, at a median price of $548.8K and a sold-to-list ratio of 98.52%. Total sold volume reached $90.43M, down 12.6%, with median sold price per square foot at $298.
The 10% drop in median sold price is the sharpest single-month decline among the Front Range markets this month, and it deserves a careful read. Look at what else happened in the same month: active listing prices rose 1.7%, new pending prices rose 3.6%, pending prices rose 3.8%, and new listing prices rose 0.7%. Every forward-looking price indicator moved up while the median sold price moved down.
That pattern almost always points to a shift in which homes happened to close, rather than a broad decline in what Longmont homes are worth. The median estimated property value across Longmont is $586,010, down just 0.4% for the month and 0.8% over the past 12 months. That is flat, not falling.
The sold-to-list ratio supports that read. A market where sellers are broadly capitulating does not hold a 98.52% sold-to-list ratio. Priced correctly, Longmont homes are still transacting close to ask.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
Sellers have the tightest market on the Front Range behind them. At 3.31 months of inventory with active listings down 10.5%, your home faces less competition than a comparable listing in Denver, Boulder, or Castle Rock. Do not panic-price off the median sold number, though: the 10% drop reflects what closed, not what your home is worth, and median estimated value in Longmont is essentially flat at $586,010. Plan for about a month on market.
For buyers, selection is the constraint rather than price. With 450 active listings and new listings down 24%, the challenge is finding the right home, not surviving a bidding war. Value looks relatively strong: active listings carry a median of $320 per square foot with 2,010 square feet of living area, noticeably more house per dollar than Boulder, where active listings run $585 per square foot. A 98.52% sold-to-list ratio means modest negotiating room, so lowball offers will not get traction.
As always, conditions vary by neighborhood and price point, so working with an agent familiar with the specific submarket remains valuable.
