90805 Market Pulse: Balanced
Neither side has a clear advantage. Pricing, condition, and local price range matter more than the headline score.
Pending ratio: 29%. About 2-3 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — a buyer's market. Most homes are still waiting for a buyer. Expect it to take longer and price to stand out. Homes that sold took about 57 days to sell, which is fast.

Local market questions
90805 housing market FAQs
Is 90805 a buyer’s market or seller’s market?
Here's what we're seeing: ZIP 90805 currently shows balanced conditions, with a ZIP-level Market Pulse of 40 as of 2026-10-18. Neither side has a clear edge right now: sellers still see steady interest when homes are priced well, and buyers get room to negotiate terms without the frenzy of a seller's market. Pricing and the individual home matter most.
How does 90805 compare with Long Beach overall?
ZIP 90805 reads 40 (balanced conditions) as of 2026-10-18, while Long Beach overall reads 34 (buyer advantage) as of 2026-10-18. The two point to different conditions — your specific neighborhood can tell a different story than the city as a whole. Neither measures an individual home.
Does the 90805 Market Pulse tell me what my home is worth?
No. The Pulse describes negotiating conditions across ZIP 90805 — not what a particular home is worth. A real pricing review needs recent comparable sales, current competing listings, and your home's condition and features.
How recent is the 90805 market reading?
The ZIP-level Market Pulse shown here is from 2026-10-18. RealSights takes new snapshots every Sunday, and the city and other ZIP reports may show different dates.
What should buyers watch in 90805?
Keep an eye on available inventory, pending activity, days on market, and price reductions — and compare nearby ZIP reports. Homes sitting longer may offer more flexibility, but protect your inspection, appraisal, and financing terms. A market score never guarantees a discount.
What should sellers watch in 90805?
Price against current nearby competition and recent closed sales, and watch how quickly homes go under contract. The Long Beach report adds broader context, but it's not a home valuation.
