Tarzana Real Estate Market Update: A Tale of Two Markets in December 2025

Is Tarzana heating up or cooling down? The answer depends entirely on whether you are looking for a house or a condo.

As we close out the year, the Tarzana real estate market is presenting a fascinating divergence. While single-family homes remain firmly in “Seller’s Market” territory with surging prices, the condo market is offering a different landscape, balancing higher inventory with surprisingly quick sales.

Below, we break down the latest data from December 2025 to help you navigate your next move in the San Fernando Valley.

Single-Family Homes: The Heat Is On

If you own a home in Tarzana, the news is compelling. The market for Single Family Residences (SFR) continues to favor sellers, driven by tight inventory and robust buyer demand.

• Median Sold Price: The median sold price for a home in Tarzana hit $1,825,000, marking a significant 6.5% increase from last month. Even more impressive is the long-term growth; sold prices are up roughly 24% year-over-year.
• Inventory Shortage: With only 3.49 months of inventory, supply remains low relative to demand. This scarcity is keeping competition high.
• Moving Fast: Homes aren’t lingering. The median time a property stays on the market (Days in RPR) is just 22 days.

Market Insight: Sellers remain in the driver’s seat. With sold prices pushing upward and inventory staying tight, well-priced homes are moving quickly. Click here to view the full Tarzana SFR Market Report for detailed charts.

Condos: A Balanced Opportunity?

The condo and townhome market in Tarzana tells a slightly different story, offering more breathing room for buyers regarding selection, though competition remains fierce for the best units.

• Inventory Levels: The condo market is seeing 5.42 months of inventory. This is significantly higher than the SFR market, indicating a more balanced environment where buyers may have more options to choose from.
• Selling Over List: Despite higher inventory, demand is specific and strong. The List-to-Sold Price % is 100.2%, meaning the average condo is selling slightly above the asking price.
• Price Adjustments: While the median sold price jumped 10.8% month-over-month to $435,000, prices are actually down about 10% compared to this time last year. This year-over-year dip could represent a window of affordability for entry-level buyers.

Buyer Tip: Don’t let the “balanced” inventory number fool you. With units selling in just 26 days and often over asking price, you still need to be ready to act fast. See the full Condo Market Report here.

The Bottom Line

Whether you are looking for a sprawling estate south of the boulevard or a convenient condo near the shops on Ventura, the data suggests Tarzana remains a vibrant hub of activity. Single-family homes are appreciating rapidly, while condos offer a unique mix of available inventory and competitive pricing.
