July 2026 South Bay & Westside Los Angeles Market Report

As we move deeper into the summer market, activity across Los Angeles' premier coastal communities remains dynamic, with each neighborhood telling its own story this month. While some areas are seeing homes fly off the market, others are offering buyers a bit more breathing room, giving buyers and sellers alike plenty to consider as they navigate the second half of the summer season.

Here's a closer look at how the market performed in July 2026 across Venice, Marina del Rey, Mar Vista, and the South Bay beach cities.

Marina del Rey Moves at a Rapid Pace

Marina del Rey stood out this month as the fastest-moving market among the group, with homes selling in less than two weeks on average.

• Average Sales Price: $1,789,400
• Average Days on Market: 12
• New Listings: 17
• Sold Listings: 5

With a limited number of new listings and a quick pace of sales, well-priced homes in Marina del Rey continue to be snapped up quickly, underscoring the area's appeal to buyers seeking waterfront living without a long wait.

Mar Vista Continues to Show Strong Fundamentals

Mar Vista remained one of the Westside's most active residential markets, with a healthy balance between new inventory and completed sales.

• Average Sales Price: $2,658,028
• Average Days on Market: 30
• New Listings: 34
• Sold Listings: 29

With sold listings nearly matching new listings this month, Mar Vista continues to demonstrate consistent demand, reinforcing its reputation as one of the Westside's most reliable markets for long-term value.

South Bay Sees Rising Prices Amid a Slower Pace

The combined markets of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach saw average prices climb notably in July, even as homes took somewhat longer to sell than in recent months.

• Average Sales Price: $4,403,877
• Average Days on Market: 45
• New Listings: 19
• Sold Listings: 18

While days on market ticked up, sold listings nearly kept pace with new inventory, suggesting buyers remain engaged even as they take a bit more time to make decisions on the South Bay's higher price points.

Venice Sees Elevated Inventory

Venice saw a notable rise in new listings this month, giving buyers more options even as the pace of sales slowed compared to recent trends.

• Average Sales Price: $2,739,756
• Average Days on Market: 50
• New Listings: 35
• Sold Listings: 20

With new listings running well ahead of sold listings, Venice buyers have more room to be selective this summer, while well-priced, well-presented homes continue to find success.

Looking Ahead to the Rest of Summer 2026

The overarching theme across the Westside and South Bay this month is one of variation: while Marina del Rey and Mar Vista continue to move briskly, Venice and the South Bay are seeing a bit more time on market alongside rising inventory and, in the South Bay's case, rising prices.

As we move through the remainder of the summer season, local expertise and accurate pricing strategies remain more important than ever. Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply staying informed about your neighborhood's market performance, understanding local trends is key to making confident real estate decisions.
