Livingston Housing Update: Prices Firm, Inventory Tight, Zoning Changes Advance
Livingston, CA – March 15, 2026 – Home values hover near $418K while January sales show a $435K median; zoning updates and light inventory shape early-2026 activity.
Home prices in Livingston are holding steady to higher even as inventory remains limited, keeping competition focused on a small pool of listings.
Top takeaways
- Typical home value is about $418K, down 2.4% year over year.
- January median sale price reached $435K, up 9% from a year earlier.
- Roughly 18 homes were listed at the end of January, with few new listings added.
- The City is advancing updates to housing development standards through public hearings.
Market snapshot
According to Zillow data through January 31, 2026, the typical home value is $418,462. Redfin reports a January median sale price of $435K and about 26 days on market, though total closed sales were low, reflecting tight supply rather than weak demand.
With fewer than two dozen homes actively listed at month-end and only a handful of new listings, buyers are competing for limited options. That mix can produce price swings month to month, especially in a smaller market.
Development and zoning
The City’s Planning Commission and Council recently noticed public hearings to update sections of the municipal code tied to land use, lot standards, site plan review and housing-related definitions. The Community Development and Building divisions continue to oversee plan checks and permits, including contracted inspection services.
For property owners considering additions, duplexes or mixed-use projects, Livingston’s residential districts range from large-lot single-family to higher-density and downtown mixed-use categories, each with specific lot-size and density rules.
What to watch
- Whether new listings increase heading into spring.
- Outcomes of zoning text amendments affecting housing types and standards.
