Longmont was the one Front Range market where the median sold price fell in October. But look past that headline and the Longmont housing market October 2026 report shows the same tightening everyone else saw — inventory dropped nearly 10% in a month, and homes under contract are being signed in a remarkable 15 days.
The Big Picture
Longmont sits firmly in seller’s market territory with 3.56 months of inventory, down 9.87% from the previous month. Homes sold for 98.5% of list price, up 0.13%, and the median sold price came in at $530,000 — down 6%.
At 3.56 months, Longmont again has the second-tightest supply of the four markets, just behind Castle Rock at 3.95. Year over year, inventory is down 20.5%.
The Price Drop Is a Mix Story — Again
The 6% decline in median sold price needs the same context Longmont has required all year. Median sold price per square foot actually rose 3% to $312, and the sold-to-list ratio ticked up to 98.45% — the highest of the four Front Range markets this month.
When price per square foot and the sold-to-list ratio both move up while the median falls, smaller homes made up more of the month’s closings. That is a composition shift, not a markdown on Longmont real estate.
The valuation model agrees. The median estimated property value across Longmont came in at $576,790, down just 0.5% for the month and 1.1% over the past 12 months — sitting well above the $530,000 median that happened to close.
Contracts Are Being Signed Fast
Here is October’s most striking Longmont figure. Pending listings numbered 79, down 31.3%, at a median list price of $535K — with a median of just 15 days in RPR, down 51.6% month over month.
New pending listings tell a similar story: 78 properties, down 24.3%, at a median list price of $535K, with a median of 24 days in RPR, down 22.6%.
Fifteen days from list to contract is the fastest figure in this entire report, across all four markets. Fewer homes are going under contract, but the ones that do are moving almost immediately.
Speed to Sale
The median time a sold home spent in RPR before closing was 44 days, up 7.32% from the prior month. Active listings are sitting a median of 63 days, up 5%.
Note the disconnect between the 44-day sold figure and the 15-day pending figure. Sold homes closed on contracts signed weeks ago; the pending number is the live signal. Expect November’s sold days-on-market to come down.
New and Active Listings
New listings held flat at 163 properties, unchanged month over month, but at a median list price of $525K — down 17.3% — with a median living area of 1,600 square feet, down 19.3%. Smaller, cheaper homes came to market in October.
Active listings fell 12.7% to 438 properties at a median list price of $565K, up 2.7%, with a median of 1,796 square feet at $322 per square foot.
Sold Homes
103 homes sold in October, down 7.2%, at a median price of $530K and a sold-to-list ratio of 98.45%. Total sold volume reached $69.89M, down 8.6%.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For sellers, do not let the 6% median dip worry you. Price per square foot rose, the sold-to-list ratio is the strongest on the Front Range at 98.45%, and estimated values held near $576,790. Inventory is down 20.5% year over year, so competition is thin. The 15-day pending median says that correctly priced homes are going under contract almost immediately.
For buyers, Longmont still offers the value play in the region — $322 per square foot on active listings against Boulder’s $566. But the window is narrowing. With 438 active listings, down 12.7%, and contracts signing in 15 days, hesitation is expensive. Be pre-approved and ready to move.
As always, conditions vary by neighborhood and price point, so working with an agent familiar with the specific submarket remains valuable.
