Happy New Year, neighbors! As we step into 2026, the Beverly Hills real estate market is presenting some fascinating storylines. Whether you are looking to sell a family estate or purchase a luxury condo near the Golden Triangle, the data from this past month paints a picture of a market that is shifting in two distinct directions.

A Tale of Two Markets: Single Family Homes vs. Condos

When we look at the numbers, we see a “tale of two markets” emerging. On one hand, single-family homes are seeing significant price appreciation, suggesting strong demand for that classic Beverly Hills lifestyle. On the other hand, the condo market is offering incredible value and choice for buyers, with prices adjusting and inventory rising.

Let’s break down what this means for you.

Single-Family Residences: Value on the Rise

The market for single-family homes (SFR) in Beverly Hills finished the year with impressive strength. The median sold price surged to $5,945,000, a remarkable 38.1% increase month-over-month. This jump suggests that high-value properties are moving, and buyers are willing to pay a premium for the right home.

However, patience is still key. We are currently seeing about 8.06 months of inventory. In plain English, this means buyers have plenty of options to choose from, and homes aren’t flying off the shelf overnight—they are lingering for a median of 42 days on the market.

If you are a seller, this data indicates that while you can command a strong price, pricing strategy and presentation are critical to standing out in a crowded field.

The Condo Market: A Window of Opportunity

The condo market is telling a slightly different story, one that looks very inviting for prospective buyers. The median sold price for condos settled at $1,667,500, which is a 27.5% decrease compared to the previous month.

Inventory levels are healthy here as well, with 8.74 months of supply available. For buyers, this is excellent news. It implies you have the luxury of time to tour multiple units, compare amenities, and negotiate terms without the pressure of a bidding war.

Key Takeaways for January 2026

• For Home Sellers: Values are up significantly, but with over 8 months of inventory, your home needs to be turnkey and priced sharply to capture attention.
• For Condo Buyers: This is your moment. With prices adjusting downward and active listings rising by 8.7%, you have more negotiating power than we’ve seen in recent months.
• Negotiation Power: Across the board, sellers are receiving close to their asking price, with homes selling at roughly 96.2% of list price and condos at 96.7%.

Conclusion

As we kick off 2026, Beverly Hills remains a robust and dynamic market. Whether you’re aiming to capitalize on high home values or snag a deal on a luxury condo, the opportunities are there—you just need the right strategy to unlock them.
