November 2025: Los Angeles Market Update

November 2025: Los Angeles Market Update

As we welcome November, we’re reminded of how much we enjoyed connecting with our community over the past month, from the PVES Boo Bash to the Playa Vista 7th Annual Monster Dash 5K, along with the lively evenings at the Playa Vista Night Market. These events reflect the energy and warmth of the neighborhoods we serve, and we’re looking forward to carrying that spirit into the holiday season.

On the market front, Los Angeles continues to show steady strength. Per the MLS, the median home price rose 6.5% from September to October, increasing from $1,267,000 to $1,350,000. Meanwhile, both inventory and closed sales held relatively stable month over month. A market moving at this measured pace provides buyers with a sense of consistency while reminding sellers that thoughtful pricing and strong presentation remain essential.

Mortgage conditions continue to influence decisions across the board. The 30-year fixed rate is hovering around 6.22%, near its lows for 2025. And although the Federal Reserve has continued to cut its benchmark rate, mortgage rates tend to follow movements in longer-term Treasury yields rather than short-term policy changes, meaning some fluctuation should still be expected. Keeping an eye on broader economic signals can help buyers and sellers understand how financing may evolve in the coming weeks.

Nationally, the real estate landscape remains defined by cautious optimism. Here in Los Angeles, however, resilience continues to stand out. Our region’s limited inventory, strong employment base, and the enduring appeal of its core neighborhoods continue to support values, even as activity moves at a steadier rhythm. This strength is reflected in our own experience as well, with multiple closings, several active escrows, and successful sales across our current listings in October.

We recognize that each client navigates the market differently and may be sensitive to different economic factors. However, no matter the conditions, there is always a strategy that can work. At Highland Premiere, our role is to help you identify it, with clear guidance, thoughtful planning, and the local expertise needed to move confidently in any stage of the market.
