How is the Harbor City (ZIP 90710) housing market doing right now? I pulled the actual closed sales from CRMLS, Southern California's MLS, and compared the last six months (April 16 – October 16, 2026) with the same period a year ago (April 16 – October 16, 2025). Split by property type, the numbers tell two very different stories: single-family homes are hotter than last year, while condos and townhomes have slowed down.
The Quick Summary
| Metric | Single-Family | Condo / Townhome |
|---|---|---|
| Median sold price | $950,000 ▲ 6.1% |
$580,000 ▼ 1.7% |
| Closed sales (6 months) | 37 (vs. 39) | 22 (vs. 27) |
| Median days on market | 9 days (vs. 28) | 62.5 days (vs. 19) |
| Sold price vs. list price | 101.2% | 99.2% |
| Months of supply today | 0.6 months | 3.0 months |
▲▼ = change versus the same six months last year.
1. Single-Family Homes: Few Listings, Fast Sales
Over the last six months, 37 single-family homes closed in 90710 at a median price of $950,000, up 6.1% from $895,000 a year earlier. Sold prices ranged from $560,000 to $1,475,000.
The bigger story is speed. Median days on market dropped from 28 days to just 9, and 78% of homes went under contract within 30 days (up from 51%). Half of all sales (51%) closed above the asking price, compared with one-third last year, and homes sold for 101.2% of list price on average, up from 98.0%. Negotiating power has clearly shifted toward sellers.
| Single-family | Apr–Oct 2025 | Apr–Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Median sold price | $895,000 | $950,000 |
| Average sold price | $932,209 | $985,351 |
| Median price per sq ft | $567 | $550 |
| Median days on market | 28 | 9 |
| Share sold over asking | 33% | 51% |
| Sold vs. original list price | 96.6% | 99.9% |
Why did price per square foot dip if prices went up? The homes that sold this year were simply bigger: the median size rose from about 1,604 to 1,792 square feet. Bigger homes cost more overall but usually carry a lower price per square foot, so the median price rose while the per-square-foot figure slipped 3.0%. That is a change in the mix of homes sold, not a sign that values are falling.
By bedroom count, 16 three-bedroom homes sold at a median of $903,500 and 14 four-bedroom homes at a median of $992,500 over the last six months.
Inventory is nearly gone. As of today (10/16), only four single-family homes are actively for sale in 90710 (listed from $599,000 to $1,059,000), and three more are already in escrow. At the recent pace of about six sales per month, that is just 0.6 months of supply. Four to six months is usually considered balanced, so this is a strong seller's market.
2. Condos and Townhomes: Prices Holding, but Sales Take Longer
The attached market looks different. Twenty-two condos and townhomes closed in the last six months at a median of $580,000, 1.7% below last year's $590,000. Sales volume also fell from 27 to 22.
The biggest change is time on market. Median days on market more than tripled, from 19 to 62.5 days, and only 36% sold within 30 days (down from 67%). Final prices still came in at 99.2% of the last list price, but just 95.0% of the original list price (versus 98.0% last year). In plain terms, more sellers had to cut their price before finding a buyer. Median price per square foot eased from $490 to $445.
| Condo / Townhome | Apr–Oct 2025 | Apr–Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Median sold price | $590,000 | $580,000 |
| Median price per sq ft | $490 | $445 |
| Median days on market | 19 | 62.5 |
| Sold vs. original list price | 98.0% | 95.0% |
| Share sold within 30 days | 67% | 36% |
By bedroom count, six 2-bedroom units sold at a median of $475,000, twelve 3-bedroom units at $592,500, and four 4-bedroom units at $785,000.
There are currently 11 condos and townhomes for sale (listed from $399,000 to $999,000, median $500,000), with five more in escrow. That works out to about 3.0 months of supply, far more breathing room than the single-family side.
3. What This Means for You
Single-family buyers: With only four homes on the market, be ready to move quickly when the right one appears. More than half are selling over asking, so get pre-approved before you start touring and plan for competing offers.
Single-family sellers: Conditions are in your favor. Prices still vary widely by size and condition, though, so pricing accurately matters more than ever.
Condo and townhome buyers: You have room to negotiate. On listings that have been sitting, ask for a price reduction or closing-cost credits, and always review the HOA's finances and dues.
Condo and townhome sellers: Pricing right from day one pays off. An ambitious first price tends to add weeks on market and usually ends in a price cut anyway.
