Venice, CA Real Estate Market Update: Trends & Insights for December 2025

As we wrap up 2025, the air in Venice isn’t just crisp from the ocean breeze—it’s buzzing with a real estate market that continues to surprise and evolve. Whether you’re watching the sunset from a Marina Peninsula condo or strolling past the architectural gems on the walk streets, understanding the numbers behind our neighborhood is key to making your next move.

In December 2025, we are seeing two distinct stories play out between single-family homes and the condo market. While Single Family Residences (SFRs) are seeing price surges and tightening inventory, the condo market is offering a fascinating mix of higher inventory levels paired with incredibly strong closing prices. Let’s dive into what this means for you as we head into the new year.

Single-Family Homes: Strength and Momentum

The market for single-family homes in Venice remains robust and leans firmly into “Seller’s Market” territory. The median sold price has climbed to $2,550,000, marking a significant 8.4% increase month-over-month.

If you are a seller, this upward trend is encouraging. Buyers are active and willing to pay near asking price, with the “Sold to List Price” percentage holding strong at 99.2%. However, patience is still a virtue; the median days on the market (measured by RPR) sits at 45 days. This suggests that while values are high, proper pricing and marketing are essential to attract the right buyer in a reasonable timeframe.

Inventory for homes has tightened slightly, with a 4.23-month supply , down 7% from last month. This contraction in supply often fuels the competitive pricing we are seeing.

Condos & Townhomes: A Balanced Opportunity?

The condo market in Venice presents a slightly different, yet equally compelling picture. Interestingly, while the report technically categorizes it as a “Seller’s Market” , we are seeing 6.93 months of inventory, which typically signals a shift toward a buyer-friendly environment. This higher inventory level (up 5.2% month-over-month ) means buyers may feel they have more breathing room and options to choose from compared to the SFR market.

However, don’t let the inventory numbers fool you into thinking “lowball offers.” The median sold price is $1,085,000 , and sellers are receiving 99.6% of their listing price on average. This indicates that while there are more units on the market, the good ones—priced right and presented well—are selling for nearly full asking price.

Key Takeaways for Buyers and Sellers:

• For Home Buyers: The SFR market is competitive, and prices are rising. Be prepared to move decisively.
• For Condo Buyers: You have more choices right now , but strong sales ratios mean you still need to write competitive offers.
• For Sellers: Across the board, properties are selling very close to their list price (over 99% for both categories). This validates that accurate pricing strategy is working.

Conclusion

Venice remains one of the most dynamic pockets of Los Angeles. As we look toward 2026, the data suggests a market that is holding its value incredibly well, offering unique opportunities whether you are looking to trade up to a walk-street bungalow or find a chic pied-à-terre near the beach.

Navigating a shifting market requires a tailored strategy. Let’s connect to build a plan that maximizes your investment in the New Year.
