A house is worth what a buyer pays for it. So this report skips the forecasts and the automated estimates and reports the number that actually closed. 51,502 homes sold across Los Angeles and Ventura counties in the twelve months ending August 31, 2026, for a combined $66.8 billion. The median home sold for $905,000, up 0.6 percent from $900,000 the year before. Sales were up 2.8 percent. The median single family house sold for $1,000,000, within $30 of the year before.

Source: Ascension Estates archive of CRMLS closings, deduplicated to one record per sale. Medians are of closed prices. Property type is as reported to the MLS.
- Four homes in ten closed at a million dollars or more. 42.5 percent of every sale in the two counties, 21,884 homes.
- The million dollar house is flat. The median single family house sold for $999,970 last year and $1,000,000 this year. Condos and townhouses slipped about 2 percent.

Which Los Angeles markets grew fastest in 2026?
Pacific Palisades and Altadena grew fastest, and they are the two places that burned in January 2025. Palisades sales rose 52 percent and Altadena sales rose 45 percent. No other city in the two counties came close.
| City | Sales, prior year | Sales, this year | Change in sales | Median, prior year | Median, this year | Change in median | Price per sq ft, this year | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pacific Palisades | 109 | 166 | +52.3% | $3,400,000 | $3,026,993 | -11.0% | $1,071/sf | -11.4% |
| Altadena | 143 | 207 | +44.8% | $1,250,000 | $1,375,000 | +10.0% | $749/sf | -5.1% |
Price per square foot uses the living area reported to the MLS for the structure that was sold, so a lot with a fire damaged or demolished home on it reads as a very low price per foot. Treat the Palisades price per foot as a signal of what is being sold, not of what a standing home is worth.
Pacific Palisades closed 166 sales, up 52 percent, while its median fell 11 percent to $3,026,993 and its median price per square foot fell 11 percent. That is the shape of a market where a large share of what closed was land and damaged structures rather than finished homes. Altadena closed 207 sales, up 45 percent, and its median rose 10 percent to $1,375,000. The data reports what closed. It does not say why, and we are not going to guess at the mix of lots, rebuilds and standing homes behind either number. Both are the most active markets, relative to their own past, in the two counties.

Culver City gained the most, with its median up 14.4 percent to $1,265,000. Stevenson Ranch came second at 14.3 percent and Studio City third at 12.3 percent.

Three of the ten are coastal and expensive: Pacific Palisades, Venice and Malibu. Malibu's median fell 5.4 percent while its sales rose 28 percent, the same shape as the Palisades in a smaller dose. Newhall, Valencia and Porter Ranch put the north end of the county on the list too.

| Studio City | $801/sf | +0.9% | $1,825,000 |
| Pasadena | $795/sf | -1.6% | $1,270,000 |
| Marina Del Rey | $793/sf | -0.1% | $1,259,238 |
Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach tie at a $3,500,000 median, but Manhattan Beach costs $1,493 a square foot against Beverly Hills at $1,159, because a Beverly Hills house is bigger. Hidden Hills would top both lists at a $5,998,000 median and $1,224 a foot, but it closed only 14 sales in the year, so it sits in the home turf table below rather than here.
How many homes sold for $10 million or more in Los Angeles?
235 homes closed at $10,000,000 or more in the twelve months ending August 31, 2026, about one every day and a half. Beverly Hills and the city of Los Angeles account for 135 of them.

July was the busiest month at 4,903 closings, with June a step behind at 4,899. January was the quietest in two years at 2,980. A home that closes in June went under contract in April or May, so the selling season starts earlier than the closing numbers look.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 3,042 | 2,980 | -2.0% | 61 |

How were these numbers calculated?
Every figure on this page comes from closed sale records reported to the California Regional Multiple Listing Service, pulled through the Trestle RESO Web API into an archive Ascension Estates maintains, and deduplicated to one record per sale. The archive holds 107,860 closed residential sales from July 27, 2024 through September 5, 2026. This report uses the two full twelve month windows inside it: September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025, and September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026.
- Medians, not averages. A handful of very large sales drags an average up. The median is the price the middle home sold for.
- City is the city the MLS recorded. Neighborhoods inside the city of Los Angeles are filed under Los Angeles unless the listing agent used the neighborhood name, so the Los Angeles row is large and mixed, and the Los Feliz or Silver Lake rows are small.
- Ranked tables use cities with at least 100 closings in both years, 111 of the 226 cities in the archive, so a single unusual sale cannot move a ranking.
- Price per square foot uses the living area reported to the MLS, on sales that reported more than 300 square feet.
- Off market and pocket sales never enter these records. Neither do sales reported only to other MLSs.
