August 2025 Market Report
The chart below shows the “Average Days on Market” and “Sold/List Price Percentage” in the County of Los Angeles since June 2024. Month-over-month, the average days on market rose by 5.7%, indicating that properties are taking a little more time to attract the right buyer than they did a month ago. This slight slowdown suggests that while demand remains present, buyers are moving more cautiously and taking extra time before committing.
Looking at the annual trend, the shift is even more striking. Compared to the same period last year, the average days on market has climbed by 27.6%, a clear sign that homes are taking noticeably longer to attract the right buyer. Meanwhile, the sold-to-original list price ratio has dropped by 3.1%, underscoring that buyers not only have more time to make decisions but also greater leverage to negotiate. Together, these indicators show a market that has cooled relative to last year, shaped by higher inventory, evolving economic conditions, and a more selective buyer pool.
Key Takeaways:
• Month-to-month, homes are taking slightly longer to sell
• Compared to last year, homes are spending nearly 30% longer on the market, signaling a more deliberate pace from buyers
• Sale-to-list ratios have softened, giving buyers more
negotiating power
• Sellers can still succeed, but accurate pricing and strong presentation are more important than ever
