Downtown Santa Monica real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Downtown Santa Monica real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Homes in Downtown Santa Monica are moving at a moderate clip, spending a typical 53 days on the market in January 2026, which is noticeably quicker than the previous month given a 15.87% drop in days on market. This shift suggests buyers are acting more decisively when the right property appears. With fewer than two months between listing and offer on many homes, both sides need to be prepared to move efficiently.
Prices are telling a more complex story. The typical home value sits around $995,000, yet the median list price is much higher at $2,950,000, reflecting a concentration of higher-end listings. At the same time, homes have been selling right at asking price on average, with an average sale-to-list ratio of 1. This alignment between list and sale prices indicates that sellers and their agents are generally pricing homes to current conditions.
Supply in this neighborhood is tight, with only 11 active listings and 5 new listings in January, and inventory projected to edge up slightly to 12 homes in February. Compared with the broader Santa Monica area, which has 203 homes on the market and a higher typical home value of $1,824,000, Downtown Santa Monica offers fewer options and a different price mix. Projections point to a rise in the local median list price to about $3,670,125 even as the projected typical home value shifts to $680,000, underlining how varied property types can be here. In this nuanced environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate these dynamics.

“Selling my Holly Grove Street home with Amy Oganyan and her assistant Anthony Arabian was an outstanding experience. They were incredibly responsive, patient, and knowledgeable, guiding me through a tricky and uncertain market with confidence and clarity. Amy and Anthony arranged four open houses, coordinated 20 viewings, and stayed proactive throughout the five‑month process. Their negotiation skills even secured a lease‑back that allowed me to stay in the home while my new purchase finalized. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend them more highly”
“Karen was absolutely exceptional throughout my home buying process. She was always punctual, detail-oriented, and incredibly knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to meet my needs and made herself available whenever I had questions. What truly set her apart was her willingness to step in and help. She answered every single question I had with patience and gave her expert opinion in a way that made me feel comfortable, confident and informed in every decision. I’m beyond grateful for her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares.”
“We had a good time working together, the sale and the buy of houses we're pretty seamless all the documentation and the heads up of signing and sending she was on top of any questions that we needed answered if she couldn't do it in that moment, she would always get back to us promptly can't wait to get another house through Janely. Thanks again.”
“Laura is amazing. Very professional and above and beyond. Answere all calls promptly . Very knowledgeable and will do anything to help. I do t know what I would have done without her. I can't thank her enough”
“Our home was on the market for over a year in a tough location, during an unfavorable market, and amid a complicated family situation. Justin Bonney stepped in after another agent left us hanging, untangled the mess, and guided us through every step with professionalism, honesty, and constant communication. He is a man of character and expertise. Even in one of the most challenging cases, Justin never gave up on us and got us to the finish line. He went above and beyond, handling the behind-the-scenes work we’ll never forget. We not only found our go-to agent but also gained a trusted friend. Highly recommend Justin to anyone who needs someone reliable, resourceful, and committed when it matters most.”
“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”
“David was able to help and guide us through one of the most stressful times in our lives. He made the entire process smooth and as stress free as possible. He communicates clearly, and was available to answer any questions I had without pause. Thank you David!!”
“My husband and I have really enjoyed working with Joel in the process of finding a new home. He has been extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He was timely but not too pushy. He is very detailed-oriented, which we appreciated greatly in the unique home purchase we made. He was very clear in explaining documents, market trends, and legal topics we were less familiar with. He was also very reliable and dependable.”
“There was not a time when I wanted to communicatewith Dorene when she was not available”
“Marco checked all the boxes, was extremely helpful for us as first-time homebuyers and explained EVERYTHING to us. We never felt pressured to buy a house we didn't see fit. Marco was so patient with all the questions we had and always so quick in his responses, which is so appreciated!”
“Since we contacted Pablo, we knew he was the right person to sell our house, he was trustworthy and worked hard to meet our expectations!”
“Toi Holliday went above and beyond what I expected. I live in a different town from the sale of my late brother's home. She oversaw the cleaning of his home, the trimming of plants and the cutting of lawn, front and back. She held a very successful open house, with three offers coming in. It sold quickly and for a good price.”
“Diego showed absolute professionalism throughout the entire process. It went very smoothly and all parties were happy with the end result. He was very transparent from the beginning and tempered our expectations from beginning to end. We are very pleased he was able to get above listing price for the home and ironed out all the details in a timely manner. I will definitely refer The Opulence Group to all my friends and family moving forward.”
