As we settle into the new year here in Los Angeles, everyone is asking the same question: “Where is the market heading?” If you call Brentwood home—or are hoping to soon—the data from late 2025 sets a fascinating stage for the months ahead. Whether you are eyeing a sprawling estate north of Sunset or a chic condo near San Vicente, the market is moving, and it has a distinct personality right now.

The “Seller’s Market” Continues

It feels like we are constantly talking about inventory, but it remains the driving force in our neighborhood. For both single-family homes and condos, Brentwood remains firmly in Seller’s Market territory. This doesn’t mean buyers are powerless, but it does mean that desirable properties are moving relatively quickly and often commanding their full asking price—or more.

Single-Family Homes: The $4 Million Benchmark

The single-family market in Brentwood is showing incredible resilience. As of our latest data, the median sold price has held steady at $4,000,000. What’s truly telling is the “List to Sold Price” percentage, which is currently sitting at 100.5%. This indicates that, on average, sellers are getting slightly more than their asking price.

If you are looking for a home, you might notice that inventory is tight but stable, with about 6.2 months of inventory available. Homes are spending a median of 33 days on the market, which is a relatively swift pace for this price point. It suggests that while buyers are thoughtful, they aren’t hesitating when the right property appears. LINK to the Full SFR Report

Condos: A Different Pace, But Still Moving

The condo and townhome market offers a different entry point into the Brentwood lifestyle, with a median sold price of $1,210,000. While still a seller’s market, the dynamics here are slightly different. We are seeing homes sell at roughly 97.8% of their list price, meaning there might be just a little more room for negotiation compared to the single-family sector.

However, don’t wait too long if you see something you love. Condos are moving even faster than houses, with a median of just 26 days in RPR. With only 3.67 months of inventory, the selection is tighter, creating a competitive environment for turnkey units. LINK to the Full CONDO Report

What This Means for You

If you are selling, the data suggests that pricing your home correctly from day one is the key to capitalizing on this seller’s market. You are in a strong position, especially if your home is well-prepared for the market.

If you are buying, patience and preparation are your best friends. In the single-family market, be prepared to come in strong. For condo buyers, speed is of the essence.
