Longmont listings fell even as sales held steady

By Cecilia De Villiers

Real estate, Primary market - Longmont

The one fact that changes what you should do: Longmont inventory dropped 6.4% in the three months ending August 31, 2026, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Sales barely moved. That means a well-priced home has less competition right now.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 550 homes sold across Longmont in those three months. That is up just 0.7% from the same period a year before. Sales held. Supply did not.

Nationally, the picture looks different. The National Association of Realtors says U.S. supply reached 4.9 months, the highest in over ten years. Longmont is tighter than that in most ZIP codes, which tells a different story than the national one.

Freddie Mac put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 8, 2026. That is a real cost for buyers. It also keeps some would-be sellers on the sideline, which is part of why new listings fell.

What each ZIP code showed

The four ZIP codes in this market each told a slightly different story. Here is what the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted for the three months ending August 31, 2026.

80501: the tightest ZIP in Longmont

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 138 homes sold in 80501 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. Median days on market was 41, the shortest of any ZIP here. Months of supply sat at 2.9.

Prices did dip a little. The median sale price in 80501 was $500,000, down 2.7% from a year before. But 21% of homes sold above list price, up 6.4 points from a year ago. And 37.2% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing, also up 4.3 points. Price slipped, but buyer interest did not.

80504: the busiest ZIP by sales

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 255 homes sold in 80504, the most of any ZIP. Homes for sale fell 17% from a year before, the sharpest drop in the market. New listings fell 14.6%.

The median sale price was $585,000, down 1.7%. Days on market was 49, six days longer than a year before. Not every home sold fast. But 17.3% sold above list price, up 3.2 points. The sale-to-list ratio was 99.2%, up 0.2 points. Sellers are still getting close to what they ask.

80503: more supply, faster sales

ZIP 80503 was the only one where both homes for sale and new listings grew. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 179 homes for sale, up 5.9%, and 182 new listings, up 9%.

Yet homes sold faster. Median days on market was 51, seven days shorter than a year before. The median sale price was $732,500, the highest in the market, down 1.3%. Months of supply held at 4 months, unchanged from a year before.

80542: the smallest market, with more supply

ZIP 80542 had the fewest sales. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 20 homes sold, down 23.1% from a year before. Months of supply rose to 6 months, up 2.2 months. That is the loosest of any ZIP here, and it is above the national figure of 4.9 months the National Association of Realtors reported.

Still, days on market fell 13 days to 54. The sale-to-list ratio was 99.3%, up 0.5 points. Pending sales rose 11.5%. The homes that did sell, sold well. The ones that sat, sat longer.

How fast did homes go under contract?

Rates are a real factor

Freddie Mac averaged the 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 8, 2026. The 15-year averaged 6.73%. Those numbers slow some buyers. They also keep some owners from listing, which helps explain why new listings in Longmont fell 4.7% across the market.

Nationally, the National Association of Realtors reported existing-home sales fell 2.0% in August 2026. Longmont's 0.7% gain in sales over the same period is a small but real difference.
