Beaumont New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ Inventory Continues to Expand

One of the biggest stories in Beaumont this year continues to be inventory growth.

A total of 111 new listings came to market in May, representing a substantial 30.59% increase compared to May 2025.

This brings the year-to-date total to 408 new listings, up 17.58% from the same period last year.

This increase in inventory provides buyers with:

• More homes to choose from
• Greater negotiating power
• Additional time to evaluate options

For sellers, however, the growing inventory means increased competition. Proper pricing, professional marketing, and strong presentation have become increasingly important to stand out from competing listings.

Average Asking Price

💰 Average Asking Price in Beaumont

The average asking price in Beaumont was $591,000 in May 2026, representing a slight 1.52% decrease from May 2025.

While the monthly figure softened slightly, the broader trend remains positive. Year-to-date, Beaumont's average asking price sits at $600,000, up 2.09% compared to 2025.

This suggests sellers remain confident in the long-term strength of the Beaumont market, while also adjusting pricing strategies to align with increased competition and changing buyer expectations.

Communities such as Triomphe Estates, Forest Heights, Dansereau Meadows, and Place Chaleureuse continue attracting strong interest from buyers seeking newer homes, larger lots, and family-oriented neighbourhoods.

Beaumont Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Remains Strong

Beaumont recorded 53 residential property sales in May 2026, only one sale fewer than May 2025. While that represents a modest 1.85% decline year-over-year, the market remains remarkably active considering the significant increase in inventory available to buyers.

The monthly sales chart shows Beaumont maintaining consistent activity throughout the first five months of the year. Sales have steadily improved from January's 21 transactions to May's 53 sales, reflecting the typical seasonal increase in buyer activity as spring transitions into summer.

Although year-to-date sales remain slightly behind 2025 levels, the difference is minimal. Beaumont has recorded 184 sales so far in 2026, compared to 188 during the same period last year, representing just a 2.13% decrease.

Average Sale Price

🏡 Average Sale Price Reaches New Highs

One of the strongest indicators in May's report was the continued growth in sold prices.

The average sale price climbed to $582,000, representing a significant 9.43% increase compared to May 2025.

This increase demonstrates that buyers remain willing to pay premium prices for desirable homes despite rising inventory levels.

Year-to-date, Beaumont's average sale price has reached $554,000, up 3.81% compared to the same period in 2025.

This is particularly encouraging because it shows property values continuing to appreciate even as inventory expands and buyers gain more options.

The monthly sales price graph included in the report shows pricing trending upward throughout the first half of 2026, with May posting one of the strongest average sale prices recorded in recent months.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Healthy

The average ask-to-sell ratio in May was 98.3%, down slightly from last year.

This means sellers are still receiving very close to their asking price, with homes selling for approximately 98 cents on every dollar listed.

Although negotiation has become more common, Beaumont remains a healthy market where properly priced homes continue attracting strong offers.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Homes Continue Taking Longer to Sell

While pricing remains strong, homes are taking considerably longer to sell than they were a year ago.

The average days on market increased to 83 days, up 84.44% from May 2025.

Year-to-date, Beaumont homes are averaging 82 days on market, compared to 43 days during the same period last year — an increase of 90.70%.

This trend reflects:

• Increased inventory levels
• More selective buyers
• Longer decision-making timelines
• Greater emphasis on pricing and presentation

The days of buyers rushing into offers within hours of a property hitting the market have largely disappeared. Today's buyers are conducting more research, viewing more properties, and negotiating more carefully.
