Hermosa Beach Real Estate Market Trends: December 2025 Report

As we close out the year, the Hermosa Beach real estate market is defying the typical holiday slowdown with impressive resilience. Whether you are looking for a luxury single-family residence near the sand or a lock-and-leave condo, the December 2025 numbers indicate a strong finish to the year. Both property types are currently experiencing a “Seller’s Market,” characterized by tight inventory and significant appreciation in median sold prices.

If you are looking for detailed insights into how these figures impact your equity or purchasing power, you can read the full Hermosa Beach Market Reports here: SFRs & CONDOS.

Single-Family Homes: A Surge in Value

The Single-Family Residence (SFR) market in Hermosa Beach demonstrated robust growth this month. The median sold price climbed to $2,922,500, marking a substantial 12.3% increase month-over-month.

Despite list prices trending downward by 19% to a median of $3.795M , buyers are closing deals near the asking price, with the sale-to-list price ratio holding steady at 97.2%. This suggests that while sellers are pricing more realistically, the demand for quality coastal homes remains high.

A Notable Luxury Sale

The top of the market remains incredibly active. A standout transaction this month was the sale of a property on The Strand, closing at a remarkable $14,240,000 ($2,519/sq ft). This highlights the enduring appeal of Hermosa’s premier oceanfront real estate.

The Condo Market: Tight Inventory, Higher Prices

The condo and townhome segment in Hermosa Beach is mirroring the SFR strength but with its own unique dynamics. The median sold price for condos surged by 17.9% month-over-month to $1,782,500.

However, buyers may find a window of opportunity regarding timeline. The Median Days in RPR (Realtors Property Resource) for condos jumped to 70 days—an increase of over 159% from the previous month
. While prices are up, the pace of the condo market has slowed slightly, allowing buyers more breathing room to make decisions. For a deeper dive into specific condo complexes, read the full CONDO report here.
