Palos Verdes Estates Single-Family Home Market Update

A clear look at pricing, inventory, days on market & what it means for homeowners

The Palos Verdes Estates single-family home market continues to show two very distinct stories: the high-demand mid-range market, and a slower-moving luxury tier where listings are taking longer to find the right buyer. Whether you’re considering selling, preparing for a move, or simply keeping an eye on neighborhood trends, this breakdown highlights what’s happening right now.

Active Single-Family Listings in Rancho Palos Verdes

There are currently eight active single-family homes on the market in RPV, with pricing and days-on-market showing a wide spread.

Price Overview

• Price range: $1,799,000 – $13,999,999

• Average list price: ≈ $3.85M (skewed upward by one ultra-luxury property)

Price Per Square Foot

• Range: $572–$1,833/sq ft

• Average: ≈ $1,027/sq ft

Days on Market

• Range: 30–282 days

• Average DOM: ≈ 139 days

Price Reductions

• About 25% of active listings show visible price changes in the MLS.

What this tells us:
The active segment—especially above $3M—is taking longer to move. Sellers are holding firm on price, and the luxury tier is experiencing extended DOM. Homes under $3M are far more aligned with current buyer demand, while top-tier properties require highly targeted marketing and strategic presentation.

Homes Under Contract (AUC = Active Under Contract + Pending)

There are two homes currently in escrow in RPV, and they both fall into a strong, in-demand price pocket.

Price Overview

• Range: $1,699,999 – $2,200,000

• Average: ≈ $1.95M

Price Per Square Foot

• Average: ≈ $900/sq ft

Days on Market

• DOM at contract: 105 and 160 days

• Average: ≈ 132 days

What this tells us:
The $1.7M–$2.2M range remains the most active part of the RPV SFR market. These homes are finding buyers, even if it takes a few months. They represent move-up buyers, coastal relocators, and families drawn to RPV’s schools and lifestyle.

Recently Sold Single-Family Homes

Two homes have closed recently, but they give a strong signal about the lower end of the market.

Sold Prices

• $1,317,000

• $1,625,000

• Average sale price: ≈ $1.47M

Price Per Square Foot

• Range: $655–$676/sq ft

• Average: ≈ $666/sq ft

Days on Market Before Selling

• 61 days & 152 days

• Average DOM: ≈ 106 days

What this tells us:
The most affordable slice of the RPV single-family market continues to move, with buyers acting more decisively in this range. Compared to the active inventory, the lower-priced homes are selling faster and closer to their price-per-square-foot expectations.

What These Numbers Mean for You as a Homeowner

This month’s snapshot shows:

• Strongest activity in the $1.5M–$2.2M range

• Luxury homes over $3M experiencing significantly longer DOM

• Very limited recent closed sales, giving well-priced new listings an opportunity to stand out

• Buyers are patient, selective, and value-driven — but still very much in the market for the right home

If you’re planning to list in 2025 or 2026, understanding where your home fits into the current pricing bands will help determine your optimal strategy.
