Mohave County Real Estate Market Update — May 2026

Published: June 2026  |  Data: May 2026 MLS Residential Statistics  |  Serving Kingman, Bullhead City & Golden Valley

Summer is here in Mohave County, and the May market data offers a useful snapshot for anyone navigating the buying or selling

in the months ahead. Each of the three markets covered here has its own story — some familiar seasonal patterns, some month-to-month movement worth understanding in context. Here is what the numbers show.

Kingman

Kingman’s inventory continued to pull back in May, with active residential listings declining from 576 in April to 557. Closed sales edged up slightly to 126 from 125 the prior month — a modest but consistent signal that demand is present.

The median sold price came in at $256,250, down from $262,625 in April. Month-to-month price movement often reflects the composition of homes that closed in a given period rather than a directional market shift, and a single data point rarely tells the whole story. Looking across the past five months, Kingman’s median has ranged from $249,000 to $262,625 — movement that is better described as a relatively stable band than a clear trend in either direction.

Median days on market dropped to 32, down from 43 in April. That pace — just over a month from listing to contract — suggests that well-priced homes are not sitting long. For sellers, preparation and accurate pricing remain the most reliable path to a timely sale. For buyers, being ready to move when the right property appears is worth the effort of getting pre-approved early.

Bullhead City

Bullhead City’s May numbers reflect a market that is taking a measured step back after a more active April. Active residential listings declined from 638 to 623, while closed sales fell from 109 to 101. Days on market increased to 43 from 33 in April, meaning homes are spending a bit more time on the market before going under contract.

The median sold price came in at $267,000 — up from $235,000 in April. This is a significant single-month move, and buyers and sellers are well served by interpreting it with some context. Median prices in Bullhead City have ranged from $235,000 to $280,750 over the past five months, a span that reflects the variability common in smaller markets where the mix of homes closing in any given month has an outsized effect on the median. The May figure is more consistent with the $258,500 recorded in March than it is with April’s dip, which lends some credibility to the rebound — but a trend requires more than two data points.

For buyers along the river corridor, the slight increase in days on market means a bit more time to evaluate options. For sellers, realistic pricing informed by what is actually closing nearby — not just the headline median — remains the foundation of a successful listing.

	Active Listings	Sales	Median Sold Price
Residential	623	101	$267,000
Land	249	21	$40,000

Residential data only. Median Days on Market (residential): 43. Data source: MLS, May 2026.

Golden Valley

Golden Valley is a small market, and its May figures should be read with that in mind. Twenty-two residential sales closed in May — up from April’s 22, wait, actually May was 22 and April was 34. Active listings declined from 112 to 106, and median days on market increased modestly from 35 in April to 39 in May.

The median sold price rose to $223,000 from $199,500 in April — a meaningful month-over-month gain, but one that should be interpreted carefully. With only 22 sales, a single high-priced transaction can shift the median noticeably. Golden Valley’s median has ranged from $197,000 to $254,450 over the past five months, and that range reflects the statistical variability expected in a low-volume market more than it reflects dramatic swings in what buyers are willing to pay.

For buyers drawn to Golden Valley’s rural character — larger parcels, open space, a quieter pace — the market continues to offer options at price points that are increasingly hard to find closer to town. Patience and attentiveness to new listings are the most valuable tools in this market.

	Active Listings	Sales	Median Sold Price
Residential	106	22	$223,000
Land	511	23	$30,000

Residential data only. Median Days on Market (residential): 39. Data source: MLS, May 2026.

What This Means for You

Across all three markets, the May data points to a market that is active but measured. Inventory is tightening in Kingman, pace has moderated slightly in Bullhead City, and Golden Valley continues to serve buyers who prioritize space and affordability. None of this signals a market under stress — it reflects the kind of recalibration that is typical heading into the hotter summer months.

Whether you are thinking about listing before peak summer heat sets in, or you have been watching the market and waiting for the right moment to buy, preparation is the common denominator. That means understanding your specific neighborhood, knowing your numbers, and working with someone who tracks this data month over month.

If you have questions about what the current market looks like for your property or your search, I would be glad to walk through it with you.
