West Hollywood Real Estate: A Tale of Two Markets Closing Out 2025

Welcome back to our monthly market deep dive! If you’ve been chatting with friends or scrolling through headlines about the “Los Angeles market,” you might be getting mixed signals. Is it hot? Is it cooling? In West Hollywood right now, the answer is actually: both.

As we wrap up December 2025, we are seeing a fascinating split between the Single-Family Residence (SFR) market and the Condo market. It’s almost like they are operating in two different micro-climates, and understanding this divergence is critical whether you are looking to hand over keys or pick them up.

The Condo Landscape: Breathing Room for Buyers

If you have been eyeing a sleek unit near the Sunset Strip or a cozy spot closer to Melrose, the current condo market is leaning in your favor. We are currently seeing what data suggests is a Buyer’s Market for condos.

Here is what that looks like on the ground:

• Inventory is Healthy: We are sitting at about 6.67 months of inventory. In real estate terms, anything over 6 months typically signals a buyer’s advantage. This means you have more options to tour and potentially less pressure to make a snap decision compared to previous years.
• Pricing is Stable: The median sold price for a condo in West Hollywood is hovering around $1,037,000. While this is a modest increase of about 3.9% month-over-month, the ample inventory is keeping runaway appreciation in check.
• Pace of Sales: Properties are moving, but they aren’t flying off the shelf instantly. The median days on market is roughly 36 days. Sellers, this means pricing strategy is everything—if you price right, you sell. If you overreach, you sit.

The Single-Family Home Market: Sellers Still Hold the Cards

Switch gears to standalone homes, and the vibe changes completely. The Single-Family Residence (SFR) sector in West Hollywood remains a Seller’s Market.

• Tighter Supply: Inventory for houses is tighter, sitting at 5.22 months. While this is softening slightly (down about 5.4% from last month ), it creates a more competitive environment than the condo sector.
• Premium Pricing: The median list price for an SFR has climbed to $2,500,000 , up 4.4% from the previous month.
• Patience Required: Interestingly, despite being a seller’s market, SFRs are taking a bit longer to find the perfect match, with median days on market tracking at 59 days. This often happens at higher price points where the buyer pool is naturally smaller but highly qualified.

What This Means For You Going Into 2026

If you are a Buyer, 2026 might be the year to snag that condo you’ve been watching. You have leverage to negotiate repairs or credits that you wouldn’t have had two years ago. For house hunters, be prepared to move decisively—good homes in WeHo are still a scarce commodity.

If you are a Seller, the strategy depends entirely on your property type. Condo sellers need to focus on presentation and competitive pricing to stand out in a crowded field. Homeowners with SFRs have a strong hand but need to be patient for the right buyer who appreciates the value of a WeHo lot.

Conclusion

West Hollywood remains one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Whether you are looking for a lock-and-leave lifestyle or a permanent sanctuary, the opportunities are there—you just need the right map to find them.
