    Seasonal averages from the last 24 months of Monterey Park, CA sales. Individual results vary with price, condition, and how the broader market moves. A local agent can pinpoint the right timing for your home.

    What These Numbers Mean for Monterey Park Buyers and Sellers

    Monterey Park's housing market, detailed in the Housing Market Trends module above, shows a median sale price of $934,532, moving +10.6% year over year, with homes measured at a median $592.61 per square foot. That price strength sits alongside a median 38 days on market, so pricing power and time-on-market are telling slightly different stories, which is exactly where negotiating leverage gets decided. With 4.3 months of supply, 113 active listings, and 27 homes sold against 139 new listings monthly, conditions read closer to balanced than to a runaway seller's market.

    The competitive indicators clarify the picture. Roughly 34.2% of homes sold above list and 35.9% went off the market within two weeks, signaling that well-priced, move-in-ready homes still draw fast, competitive interest. At the same time, 19.2% of listings recorded a price drop, evidence that overpriced homes stall and eventually correct. The average sale-to-list ratio of 99.46% confirms most deals close near, not far above, asking.

    For a buyer, this means selectivity pays: on homes carrying a price drop or sitting past the 38-day median, there is room to negotiate below list, while fresh, sharply priced listings still require your strongest terms. For a seller, the data argues for disciplined pricing from day one rather than testing a high number and cutting later, since price drops correlate with longer timelines. With 523 licensed agents active locally, the difference between an agent who reads these signals correctly and one who does not shows up directly in your net proceeds.

    What Monterey Park Home Prices Mean for You

    Understanding the true cost of homeownership in Monterey Park goes beyond the listing price. These calculators break down what today's market conditions mean for your budget, your timeline, and your negotiating position.

    -0.76%
    What this shift means: Compared with a year ago, the median sale price moved +10.6% while the sale-to-list ratio shifted -0.76% and market time held at a 0 days change. Taken together, that combination points to a market where prices have held their footing but competitive intensity has eased slightly from last year. Buyers now have modestly more room to negotiate on the right listings, and sellers benefit from pricing to current comparables rather than to last year's peaks.

    Year-over-year data reflects the most recent rolling period from Monterey Park MLS records. Prior year values calculated from current figures and published YoY changes.

    What to Look for in a Monterey Park Realtor

    Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually moves a transaction: verified production, negotiation results, and consistency across many closings rather than a handful. Among the 523 licensed agents in Monterey Park, EffectiveAgents has ranked 61 based on measured performance. The top-ranked agent, Mike Chou at KW Executive - The Chou Team, has closed 1,709 transactions with 432 client reviews and $1.3B in all-time sales volume. Negotiation skill matters most in a market like this one, where the sale-to-list ratio sits at 99.46% and 19.2% of listings take a price cut. An agent who prices correctly and negotiates precisely helps sellers avoid the reductions that stretch timelines and helps buyers identify where leverage exists. Coverage spans the core Monterey Park zip codes of 91754, 91755, and 91756, each with its own pace of demand. When reviewing candidates, look past a single testimonial and study the pattern: volume of reviews, consistency of ratings over time, and whether feedback specifically cites pricing accuracy and negotiation outcomes.

    How We Rank Monterey Park Real Estate Agents

    Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Monterey Park market today.

    Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

    Monterey Park Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Monterey Park, CA?

    The top-ranked agent in Monterey Park, CA is Mike Chou at KW Executive - The Chou Team, with 1,709 transactions closed, 432 client reviews, and $1.3B in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents through a data-driven methodology that analyzes verified transaction history, sale-to-list performance, and client review patterns rather than advertising spend. Of the 523 licensed agents locally, 61 meet the ranking criteria. The right match depends on your price point and timeline, so compare several ranked agents before deciding.

    How were these Monterey Park real estate agents ranked?

    Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.

    How many real estate agents are in Monterey Park?

    Our data covers 523 real estate agents serving the Monterey Park area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Monterey Park market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Monterey Park mean for sellers?

    Monterey Park's median sale price is $934,532 as of July 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.

    How long does it take to sell a house in Monterey Park?

    Homes in Monterey Park take a median of 38 days to sell, a figure that reflects the span from listing to accepted offer and does not include escrow. Year over year, market time registered a 0 days change. Several factors move your individual timeline: pricing relative to recent comparables, condition and staging, and the specific zip code, since 91754, 91755, and 91756 each draw demand at different speeds. With 35.9% of homes going off the market within two weeks, sharply priced, move-in-ready listings sell fastest, while overpriced homes often sit and later cut price.

    Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?

    No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.

    Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?

    No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.

    What commission do Monterey Park realtors charge?

    Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.

    Should I use a local Monterey Park agent or a national brand?

    The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Monterey Park neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.

    What questions should I ask a Monterey Park realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Monterey Park in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
