October 2026 Artesia Real Estate Market Report: Six Home Sales and Very Few New Listings
Artesia had six single-family closings in October, up from two a year ago, at a median of $843,000, down 0.9%. Buyers had little new to choose from: only 2 homes were newly listed, down from 8, and inventory stood at 8 homes, about 2.0 months of supply. This is my first Artesia market report, so I will keep the focus on what the data can and cannot tell us.

How I Read the Numbers
1. Six sales, a steady price
The $843,000 median is 0.9% below last October and $18,000 above the 12-month median of $825,000 (down 1.8%). The average ($828,083) is $14,917 below the median, a small gap. The +200% change in closed sales sounds big but compares six sales to two. The better signal is the 12-month total: 49 closed sales, up 32.4%, with 47 pending sales, up 17.5%. Over the year, Artesia has been active.
2. Very few new listings
Only 2 single-family homes were newly listed in October versus 8 a year ago. Over the last 12 months, new listings are up 30.0% to 65, so October was a thin month, not a trend. Inventory was 8 homes (-11.1%) and months of supply was 2.0, down from 2.7. When few new homes come on the market, buyers have less to choose from.
3. Pace and pricing
Homes took 27 days to sell, down from 45 a year ago, and received 97.3% of original list price, about 2.7% below asking. At the October median, that is roughly $22,800. Over the last 12 months, homes sold at 100.0% of original list price in 25 days on average, so October was a little softer on price than the year as a whole. Pending sales were 5, down from 7.
Condos and Townhomes: Two Sales
Two townhouse-condo units closed at a median of $817,949, and only one unit was for sale at month end (0.5 months of supply). Two sales do not make a trend. Over the last 12 months, 16 units closed at a median of $732,495 (-5.5%) after 46 days on market on average.
Bao’s Take: Beyond the Numbers
For Home Sellers
Low inventory helps, but buyers still negotiated: October homes sold about 2.7% below original list price. Pricing from recent closings, not from the highest listing you have seen, is what moves a home. Start with how to tell if a home is overpriced or a home value request.
For Home Buyers
With only 8 homes for sale, good ones can go quickly, so get your financing lined up and be ready to tour. Still ask for the original list price and price history, and compare to recent closings before you offer. If rates are on your mind, here is how I think about waiting.

Thinking About a Move in Artesia?
In a small market, one sale can move the story. A home-specific look beats a citywide average.
