Two Markets in One ZIP Code
The median list price in Brentwood is about $7.3 million. But the median price of new listings is only about $4 million. That means most of the new homes coming on the market are in the lower price ranges.
And those homes are selling. Homes under $6 million are moving in about 2 to 3 months. Homes over $9 million take much longer.
Market Action Index
This number shows how fast homes are selling compared to how many are for sale.
The index is at 27, down from 29 last month. Inventory went up to 143 homes. Buyers have a little more choice right now, and a little more room to negotiate.
Market by Price Range
Segment | Median Price | Sq. Ft. | Lot Size | Beds | Baths | Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ultra luxury | $22,472,500 | 9,642 | 0.5 to 1 acre | 6 | 8 | 168 |
Premium | $9,145,000 | 6,357 | 0.25 to 0.5 acre | 5 | 6 | 112 |
Classic Brentwood | $5,624,000 | 3,749 | 0.25 to 0.5 acre | 4 | 4.5 | 84 |
Entry level | $2,986,000 | 2,689 | 0.25 to 0.5 acre | 3 | 3 | 77 |
The two lower price ranges are the busiest. Ten homes in these groups sold or went into escrow, compared to only one in the two top ranges. Entry level homes, around $3 million, move the fastest, in about 2 and a half months.
Median Days on Market
The average home has been listed for 173 days. The median is 105 days, so half the homes came on the market in the last 3 to 4 months. Brentwood moves faster than Bel Air and Beverly Hills right now.
What This Means for You
If you are selling a home under $6 million, buyers are active. Price it right and it can move. If you are selling a larger estate, plan for more time, and know that 20% of listings have already cut their price.
Brentwood is in the City of Los Angeles, so the LA Mansion Tax applies to sales over the threshold. Plan for it before you set your price.
If you are buying, you have more choices than last month, especially at the top of the market. That is where you have the most room to negotiate.
