Los Angeles Real Estate Market Update — November 2025

Curious about what’s happening in the Los Angeles real estate market this November 2025? Here’s your quick breakdown of the latest trends — including pricing shifts, inventory movement, and what it all means for buyers and sellers navigating the current market.


Market Snapshot

The LA market continues to show steady activity as we head into the holiday season.
Here’s where things stand:

  • Median Home Price: ~$1.1M

  • Average Days on Market: ~32 days

  • Inventory: Slightly lower than last month

  • Buyer Activity: Moderate and steady

  • Seller Activity: High-demand homes still receiving multiple offers

Even with seasonal slowdowns, well-priced homes are moving quickly — especially in popular Eastside and Valley neighborhoods.


What This Means for Buyers

Buyers are seeing more negotiation opportunities in neighborhoods with slowly increasing inventory.
This month, buyers benefit from:

  • More homes staying on market past 21 days

  • Slightly increased price flexibility

  • Better chances at repairs, credits, and normal contingencies

If you're planning to buy, this is a strategic time before competition spikes again in early 2026.


What This Means for Sellers

Sellers still hold strong leverage, especially in areas like Pasadena, Silver Lake, Studio City, and Culver City.
Homes are selling fastest when they have:

  • Updated interiors

  • Bonus spaces (studios, ADUs)

  • Walkable locations

  • School district appeal

Accurate pricing remains essential — properties priced right in the first week bring the strongest offers.


Neighborhood Spotlight

A few standout LA neighborhoods this month:

  • Silver Lake: Strong demand, fast-moving homes, creative buyers

  • Highland Park: Popular with young professionals; steady price growth

  • Pasadena: Consistent interest from families and move-up buyers

  • Sherman Oaks: Turnkey homes selling quickly

These areas continue to drive overall market momentum.


Expert Takeaway

The Los Angeles market remains stable, active, and opportunity-rich. Whether you're buying or selling, micro-neighborhood trends matter more than city-wide averages.
A well-timed strategy can significantly boost your buying power or selling success.

2 Beds 2 Baths 26987605 MLS The Smithwood Collection BLDG.
New Co-Ownership Opportunity: Introducing The Smithwood Collection at 1226 Smithwood Drive, a beautifully restored four-unit TIC in Beverlywood, just steps from Beverly Hills. Built in 1931, this Spanish Colonial building has been thoughtfully reimagined to preserve its original character while delivering the comforts of modern living - a rare combination in one of LA's most walkable, sought-after neighborhoods. Unit 4 is a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence offering an ideal entry point into homeownership in this coveted corridor. Dark-stained red oak flooring runs throughout, paired with graceful archways and character windows fitted with their original latches the kind of craftsmanship new construction simply can't replicate. Aged iron door handles and unlacquered brass hardware lend a warm, lived-in elegance to every room, and light pours through the home, filling each space with an airy warmth. In the living room, a faux fireplace anchors the space as a natural focal point. The kitchen carries that same vintage warmth into a thoroughly modern layout: Saltillo tile flooring, Shaker-style inset cabinetry finished to a premium standard, and honed Taj Mahal quartzite countertops that rise up as the range backsplash. An integrated range hood is finished in Venetian plaster, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances outfit the space throughout, and unlacquered brass plumbing fixtures round out the room's understated luxury. The primary bath matches that elevated finish level, with Saltillo stone flooring, Shaker-style inset cabinetry in a premium custom finish reminiscent of a deVOL kitchen, and honed Taj Mahal quartzite vanity countertops. Walls are wrapped in full Roman clay/Venetian plaster, while the shower and tub enclosures are finished in off-white Casablanca Moroccan Zellige tile; unlacquered brass tub spouts and shower fixtures, along with aged iron hardware, complete the look. Down the hall, the powder room offers its own standout moment Venetian plaster walls, a custom-cut Calacatta Viola marble vanity, and dark red-brown handmade Moroccan Zellige tile flooring. Together, the two bathrooms establish a rich, elevated finish palette that carries through the entire home. Unit 4 also offers two private outdoor spaces, each finished in Saltillo-style ceramic tile that nods to the home's Spanish roots. Off the living room, a front patio spans the full width of the room, framed by a charming wooden railing that makes it feel like a natural extension of the interior. A second private patio off the dining room adds further flexibility for morning coffee or evening entertaining. A detached single-car garage at the rear of the property provides dedicated parking plus additional storage an increasingly rare bonus in this part of Los Angeles. Ideally located in Beverlywood, adjacent to Beverly Hills, the home puts residents within easy reach of shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences in one of the city's most walkable neighborhoods. As part of an intimate, low-density four-unit TIC, this is a tremendous opportunity for co-ownership in one of LA's most desirable corridors.
