Reading the table: the median moves around because Los Alamitos is small. A quarter with a couple of rebuilds closing reads high; a quarter of original single-story homes reads low. Price per square foot is the steadier line, and the sale-to-list ratio tells you how much negotiating room buyers actually had.
One closing of Eunice's in this ZIP code, from the public record: a 3-bedroom, 2,290 sq ft home with a 90720 address that sold for $1,775,000 in July 2024, eleven percent over its list price after seven days on the market. Preparation and pricing were the whole story there.
The price line
Volume: sold, new and active
When new listings run ahead of sales for a few months, active inventory builds and buyers get choice; when sales outrun new listings, the shelf empties and the next good home gets multiple offers. In Jul–Sep 2026, Los Alamitos had 14 new listings against 12 sales.
Asking vs sale price
Homes that sold in Los Alamitos in Jul–Sep 2026 closed on average 0.4% under their asking price. The asking-price median covers homes newly listed in the same months, which aren't the same homes that sold, so read the two medians as a rough gap, not a discount.

When homes here sell best
Across 2013–2025, homes in Los Alamitos that closed in May sold for the highest share of their list price (99.4% on average), and homes closing in April sold fastest (about 38 days on market). That's only about 7 sales a month on average, so the differences between months are small and can be noise.
| Month | Sale-to-list | Days |
|---|---|---|
| January | 99.0% | 54 |
| February | 99.3% | 52 |
| March | 99.3% | 38 |
| April Fastest | 99.3% | 38 |
| May Best price | 99.4% | 39 |
| June | 99.2% | 40 |
| July | 99.2% | 40 |
| August | 99.0% | 42 |
| September | 99.0% | 44 |
| October | 98.7% | 44 |
| November | 98.7% | 46 |
| December | 98.7% | 51 |
Each month uses Redfin's three-month figures centred on it, averaged over 13 years and weighted by homes sold. Sale-to-list = sale price as a share of the final list price; days = median days on market, averaged. These are closing months: escrow usually takes about 30 days, so a home that closes in May typically went under contract a month or so earlier.
