West Adams Market Update: A Tale of Two Speeds in December 2025

Welcome back to the Westside! If you’ve been keeping an eye on West Adams, you know this historic neighborhood is constantly evolving. The latest numbers for December 2025 are in, and they tell a fascinating story of two very different markets happening on the same streets. Whether you are looking for a classic Craftsman or a low-maintenance condo, understanding these nuances is key to making your next move.

Single-Family Homes: Fast and Fierce The market for single-family homes in West Adams is currently moving at lightning speed. We are officially in a Seller’s Market, and the energy here is undeniable.

If you are a seller, the news is encouraging. The median sold price for a single-family home has jumped significantly to $1,215,000, marking a 66.4% increase month-over-month. While monthly jumps can sometimes be influenced by the mix of homes sold, the demand is clear. Homes are selling for 101.1% of their list price on average, meaning buyers are willing to compete.

Perhaps the most telling stat is the speed of the market. The median days in RPR (Realtors Property Resource) has dropped to just 17 days. That is incredibly fast—down nearly 74% from last month. If you see a home you love, hesitation isn’t an option right now.

Condos: A Window of Opportunity On the flip side, the condo market in West Adams offers a completely different vibe. It is also technically classified as a Seller’s Market due to low inventory, but the pace is much more relaxed.

For buyers who feel priced out of single-family homes, condos remain an accessible entry point into this vibrant community. The median list price is holding steady at $599,000. Unlike the frenetic pace of the housing market, condos are seeing a median of 157 days on market. This slower pace gives buyers precious time to view properties, weigh their options, and negotiate without the pressure of a bidding war.

What This Means for You

• For Sellers: If you own a single-family home, inventory is tight with only 2.4 months of supply. With homes moving in under three weeks, now is a strategic time to list.
• For Buyers: If you are hunting for a house, have your financing ready to go. If you are open to condos, you have significantly more leverage and time to find the perfect fit.

The West Adams market is complex, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Let’s chat about your goals and how we can make these numbers work for you.
