Arcadia, Mid-Year:
A Spring Premium, Earned Early.
Q1 and Q2 2026 · Single Family Closed Sales · ARMLS
Arcadia's first half peaked early. Q1 2026 was the strongest quarter on every dial at once: a $1.75 million median, $605 per square foot, 46 days to contract, 96.6% of ask. Q2 held nearly all of the price gain, $1.71 million and $587 per foot, while the pace eased to 69 days as spring inventory gave buyers room to breathe.

The First Half
Fast Winter, Patient Spring.
Q1 was the quarter sellers dream about: every measure improved simultaneously. The median jumped to $1,750,000 from $1,542,500 in Q4, per-foot pricing hit $605, and the median home went under contract in 46 days at 96.6% of ask. Volume rose too, 124 closings against 102.
Q2 kept the price and gave back the urgency. The median held at $1,714,000 and $587 per foot, both far above last summer, but days to contract stretched to 69 as 132 closings, the year's most, met a fuller shelf of spring inventory. Percent of ask barely moved, which says buyers negotiated on patience rather than on price.
The pocket structure did the usual quiet work underneath: the blended figures above average a $950,000 pocket against a $3.6 million one. The Arcadia sold report breaks all seven out, and the difference between pockets remains far larger than any quarter-to-quarter move in this table.
The Numbers
