Beaumont Real Estate Market Update: January 2026 Statistics

The Beaumont real estate market opened 2026 with renewed energy. After a slower finish to 2025, January delivered a noticeable uptick in sales activity, rising listing inventory, and a rebound in sale prices. While winter markets are typically quiet, this year Beaumont is showing early signs of momentum heading into spring.

If you’re considering buying, selling, or investing in Beaumont, understanding these early-year trends is critical. Let’s break down exactly what happened in January 2026 and what it could mean for the months ahead.

📊 January 2026 Market Summary

Beaumont New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ New Listings Jump Nearly 40%

January also brought 64 new listings, compared to 46 last year — a 39.13% increase.

That is significant inventory growth for a winter month.

This tells us:

• Sellers are entering the market sooner instead of waiting for spring.
• Builders are actively releasing new inventory.
• Competition among sellers will increase moving into February and March.

Higher inventory gives buyers more choice — but it also requires sellers to price sharply.

Average Asking Price

💰 Average Asking Price Softens Slightly

The average asking price landed at $584,000, down 2.70% from $601,000 last January.

This modest decline suggests:

• Sellers are adjusting expectations after late-2025 price corrections.
• Pricing strategies are becoming more realistic.
• Homes are entering the market closer to true market value.

This is a healthy sign — especially paired with rising sales volume.

Beaumont Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Surges 31%

Beaumont recorded 21 residential sales in January 2026, up from 16 last January — a 31.25% increase year-over-year.

That’s a strong start to the year.

Winter markets often see hesitation, but the monthly sold properties chart in the report clearly shows January outperforming the previous year. This indicates:

• Buyers are returning earlier than expected.
• Rate stabilization may be restoring confidence.
• Pent-up demand from late 2025 is releasing into the market.

This is a positive signal heading into Q1.

Average Sale Price

📊 Sale Prices Rebound 5.75%

The most encouraging statistic in January is the average sale price, which climbed to $519,000, up 5.75% year-over-year.

This indicates:

• Buyers are paying strong values for well-priced homes.
• The late-2025 price softness may have stabilized.
• Mid-range homes ($450K–$600K) are moving effectively.

The monthly sales price chart in the report shows pricing stabilizing after fluctuations throughout 2025.

This is a positive signal for sellers preparing for spring.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio at 97.9%

The average ask-to-sell ratio sits at 97.9%, slightly lower than 98.4% last year.

This means homes are selling about 2.1% below list price on average.

For buyers:

• Negotiation room exists.
• Conditions are more accepted again.

For sellers:

• Overpricing by even 3–4% can stall activity quickly.
• Competitive pricing wins early.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market Increase to 87

Homes took an average of 87 days to sell, compared to 79 days last January — a 10.13% increase.

While this is higher than last year, it’s still consistent with typical winter conditions.

Longer days on market suggest:

• Buyers are negotiating more carefully.
• Inspection and financing timelines may be stretching slightly.
• Pricing still matters significantly.

Homes that are staged well and priced correctly are outperforming the average.
