A verbal agreement is legally binding in California under certain circumstances. If the agreement is for something that will take longer than a year to perform or involves real property, verbal agreements are not binding and must be put in writing in order to be legally enforceable.

However, under the Statute of Frauds, contracts for the sale of goods valued over $500 generally need to be in writing to be enforceable. Therefore, while a verbal agreement may be recognized, it can be challenging to prove and enforce in court without written documentation. It is advisable to formalize any agreement in writing to avoid disputes.
