Pacific Palisades Real Estate Market Report: December 2025

Is the Pacific Palisades market heating up or cooling down as we close out 2025? The answer depends heavily on whether you are looking at the Single-Family Residence (SFR) market or the Condo sector. The December 2025 numbers reveal a fascinating divergence: while single-family home prices have surged significantly month-over-month, the condo market offers a different story of opportunity for buyers.

If you are navigating this nuanced landscape, understanding the latest data is critical. Here is your in-depth look at the Pacific Palisades real estate market activity for December 2025.

Single-Family Homes: Prices Surge Despite Higher Inventory

The Single-Family Residence (SFR) market in the Palisades made a bold statement this month. The median sold price jumped to $4,400,000, marking a substantial 39.24% increase month-over-month. Interestingly, homes are moving incredibly fast, with a median of just 15 days in RPR.

However, the data suggests a complex environment for sellers and buyers alike:

• Negotiation Room Exists: Despite the price jump and speed, the Sold to List Price % sits at 92.5%. This indicates that while headline prices are high, buyers are successfully negotiating significantly below the asking price—likely due to aspirational pricing in the luxury segment.
• Rising Inventory: Active listings have increased by 17.5% to 66 properties. With 8.17 months of inventory, the market statistically leans towards buyers, even though the rapid sale pace suggests high demand for correctly priced homes.

The Condo Market: A Window of Opportunity?

In contrast to the single-family sector, the condo and townhouse market in Pacific Palisades is showing signs of cooling prices, potentially opening doors for entrants into this exclusive zip code.

• More Accessible Pricing: The median sold price for condos adjusted to $950,000, a decrease of 35.81% month-over-month.
• Slower Pace: Condos are taking longer to sell, with a median of 56 days in RPR—an increase of over 27% from the previous month.
• Inventory Levels: With 8.79 months of inventory, this segment is firmly in buyer’s market territory, giving purchasers more time to decide and more leverage to negotiate.

What This Means for You

• For Sellers: In the SFR market, accurate pricing is everything. Homes are selling in two weeks on average , but those that overreach are seeing price reductions or negotiating down (evidenced by the 92.5% sale-to-list ratio ).
• For Buyers: If you are eyeing a condo, the current dip in median price and slower pace might represent a strategic entry point. For luxury home buyers, the inventory increase means you have more options, and the data shows sellers are willing to negotiate.
