West Los Angeles Real Estate Market Update: Trends & Insights for December 2025
As we wrap up 2025, the West Los Angeles real estate market is painting an interesting picture for both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re eyeing a charming single-family home in Rancho Park or a sleek condo in Century City, understanding the current pulse of the market is key to making your next move with confidence.
A Tale of Two Markets: Condos vs. Single-Family Homes
This month, we are seeing some divergent trends between condos and single-family residences (SFRs). The single-family market is showing robust strength. In November 2025, the median sold price for SFRs in our Westside neighborhood climbed to roughly $3,032,500, a significant 30% increase month-over-month. This suggests that demand for spacious, standalone homes remains incredibly high, with buyers willing to pay premium prices for the right property.
In contrast, the condo market is offering a slightly different opportunity. While condo values have seen long-term growth, the median sold price settled around $1,698,414 for November. Interestingly, the condo market remains balanced, leaning slightly towards sellers but offering more breathing room than the highly competitive SFR sector.
Inventory and Market Balance
One of the most critical factors right now is inventory. For single-family homes, inventory remains tight with about 2.11 months of supply. This keeps us firmly in a “Seller’s Market” territory, where high-quality homes are snapped up quickly—often in around 12 days.
On the condo side, we have a bit more inventory to work with, currently sitting at roughly 4.66 months of supply. This “Balanced Market” environment means buyers might have a little more time to make decisions compared to the frantic pace of SFR sales.

What This Means for You
- Sellers: If you own a single-family home, the market conditions are heavily in your favor, with sale prices averaging just above list price. For condo owners, pricing strategy is crucial; properties are selling at roughly 96.6% of their list price, so setting the right expectation is key.
- Buyers: SFR buyers need to be prepared to move fast. For condo buyers, you have a stable market that allows for thoughtful decision-making, though well-priced units in desirable areas like Westwood and Century City still move efficiently.
Conclusion
Navigating the West LA market requires a nuanced approach depending on your property goals. Whether you are looking to sell your longtime family home or buy your first condo, having a clear strategy tailored to these specific micro-trends will make all the difference.
