Are you curious about the latest shifts in the Playa del Rey real estate market as we close out 2025? Whether you are looking for a breezy beachside condo or a spacious single-family home, the data for December reveals a distinct “Seller’s Market” across the board, though the dynamics differ significantly between property types.

If you are thinking of making a move, understanding these nuances is critical. Below, we break down the latest numbers for both condos and single-family residences to help you navigate your next steps.

A Seller’s Market: The Tale of Two Property Types

Playa del Rey remains a highly desirable enclave, but the intensity of the market depends on what you are buying.

Single-Family Residences: Tight Inventory & Competitive Offers

The market for single-family homes in Playa del Rey is particularly aggressive right now. With a Months Supply of Inventory (MSI) sitting at just 2.14 months, supply is tightening—down 16.4% from last month. This scarcity is driving competition, evidenced by the fact that homes are selling for 102.6% of their list price on average.

If you are a seller, this is excellent news; buyers are active and willing to pay a premium for the right home. The Median Sold Price for single-family homes currently sits at $1,625,000 , while the Median List Price has risen to $2,197,000, a 7% increase month-over-month.

Condos: Opportunity Amidst Stability

The condo market offers a slightly different landscape. While still classified as a Seller’s Market, the inventory is more plentiful compared to single-family homes. The Months Supply of Inventory is 3.93, which is actually up 65.1% compared to last year. This suggests buyers have a bit more breathing room to browse.

Interestingly, condos are selling for 97.7% of the list price, meaning buyers may have some leverage to negotiate compared to the single-family sector. The Median Sold Price for condos has seen a healthy bump, landing at $720,000, which is a 2.6% increase from the previous month.

Key Market Statistics at a Glance

Here is how the numbers stack up for December 2025:

• Median Sold Price:
  • Single-Family Homes: $1,625,000.
  • Condos: $720,000.
• Speed of the Market (Median Days in RPR):
  • Single-Family Homes: 31 days.
  • Condos: 19 days.
• List-to-Sold Price Percentage:
  • Single-Family Homes: 102.6% (Selling over asking).
  • Condos: 97.7% (Selling slightly under asking).

Despite the differences, both segments are moving relatively quickly. Condos, in particular, are spending very little time on the market (median 19 days), indicating that well-priced units are being snapped up fast.

What This Means for You

If you are looking to buy a Single-Family Home, be prepared to move quickly and potentially offer above the asking price. With inventory shrinking, well-prepared offers are essential.

For Condo Buyers, you might find more options available now than you would have a year ago. It is a great window to enter the Playa del Rey market, potentially with less bidding-war stress than the single-family sector.

For Sellers, the data supports a strong exit strategy, especially if you own a single-family home where inventory is low. However, even condo sellers are benefiting from rising sold prices month-over-month.
