Mid City Real Estate Update: Single-Family Homes Move Fast While Condos offer Balance (December 2025)

As we close out the year, the real estate market in Mid City, Los Angeles, presents a tale of two distinct markets. The latest data from November 2025 reveals a continued Seller’s Market for single-family homes, characterized by low inventory and brisk sales, while the condo market has shifted toward a more Balanced Market, offering different opportunities for buyers.

Whether you are looking to list a historic bungalow or buy into a low-maintenance condo community, understanding these specific dynamics is crucial. Download the full Mid City Single Family Report here.

Single-Family Homes: Speed and Competition

The market for single-family residences (SFR) in Mid City remains competitive. With Months of Supply Inventory (MSI) tightening to 3.61 months—a decrease of 17% from the previous month—buyers are facing fewer options. This scarcity is driving speed; the Median Days in RPR (a measure of time on market) dropped sharply to just 16 days.

Key takeaways for homeowners:

• Selling Over List: On average, homes are selling for 102.1% of their listing price.
• Inventory Crunch: Active listings dropped by 14% month-over-month, leaving only about 43 active properties on the market.
• Price Stability: The median estimated property value is holding strong at approximately $1.28M.

The Condo Market: A Shift Toward Balance

In contrast to the single-family sector, the condo and townhome market in Mid City is exhibiting more breathing room. The Months of Inventory has risen to 4.8 months, placing it firmly in “Balanced Market” territory. This shift provides buyers with more leverage and time to make decisions compared to the single-family sector.

Interestingly, the median list price for condos saw a significant dip of 27.6% month-over-month to $687,500. However, this is largely attributed to a change in the type of inventory hitting the market rather than a drop in value; the median living area of listed units decreased by over 32%. Essentially, smaller, more affordable units entered the market in November, skewing the median price downward.

What This Means for You

For Sellers (SFR): The data suggests now is still an excellent time to list. With homes selling in roughly two weeks and often over the asking price, demand is outpacing supply.

For Buyers (Condos): You currently have more negotiating power and inventory to choose from than single-family home buyers. It is an opportune time to explore entry-level price points in the neighborhood.

Navigating a split market requires a tailored approach. If you’re looking to capitalize on the high demand for Mid City homes or find value in the condo market, let’s discuss a strategy. I can help you interpret these numbers to maximize your position, whether you are buying or selling.
