Housing Market in Venice
Venice's housing market has cooled from its 2021-2022 peak, and 2026 readings from different sources genuinely disagree on how far prices have pulled back and how long homes are sitting -- treat any single snapshot as directional rather than precise. What's consistent across sources is the direction: this is a buyer-friendlier market than it was a few years ago.

Redfin data for the three months ending June 2026 put Venice's median sale price at $409,000, down 0.24% year over year (per the base overview record for this city). Other 2026 snapshots read lower: one July 2026 reading cited a $400,000 median, and a separate source cited $418,000 down 10.3% year over year for a different window. These aren't necessarily contradictory -- they reflect different trailing periods and likely different sales mixes -- but they don't converge on one number either; budget around a $400K-$418K range rather than a single figure.
Days on market: sources diverge here too
The base overview record cites 66 days on market with homes averaging 2 offers. A separate July 2026 reading put the average at 91 days, up from 86 days the prior year, with some sources citing a range of 82-91 days and homes selling at 94-96% of original list price. The honest read is that Venice homes are taking meaningfully longer to sell than at the 2021-2022 peak -- somewhere in the 66-91 day range depending on the source -- giving buyers real, if inconsistent, negotiating room.
Inventory readings also don't agree with each other
One May 2026 reading counted 513 available homes, a nearly 39% year-over-year decrease; a separate July 2026 reading counted 1,016 active listings. These numbers may be measuring different things (active listings vs. total available inventory, different date cutoffs) rather than a genuine contradiction, but the gap is large enough that neither figure should be treated as the settled inventory count -- check current MLS data for a real-time read.
Downtown Venice and Venice Island carry their own dynamics
Redfin maintains a separate housing-market page specifically for Downtown Venice, reflecting that the walkable historic core and Venice Island command different pricing and demand than the broader city figures above. Buyers specifically targeting the island or downtown should pull a neighborhood-level report rather than relying on citywide medians.
Key takeaways
- Venice's median sale price runs roughly $400K-$418K depending on the 2026 snapshot, with the most-cited figure at $409K (Redfin, trailing 3 months ending June 2026), down slightly to notably year over year depending on the source.
- Days on market readings range from 66 to 91 depending on the source -- all pointing toward a cooler, more buyer-friendly market than the 2021-2022 peak, with homes selling around 94-96% of list price.
- Inventory counts disagree sharply between sources (513 vs. 1,016 active listings in mid-2026) -- likely different measurement methods, not a real contradiction, but neither figure should be treated as final without a fresh MLS pull.
- Downtown Venice/Venice Island has its own distinct housing-market data separate from citywide figures -- pull a neighborhood-specific report if that's your target area.
