Brentwood, 90049, Real Estate Snapshot

The median list price for single-family homes in Brentwood is $6,995,000, with new listings averaging $7,150,000. Prices have begun to level off after a decline that started in late 2024, but demand remains strong, especially at the high end. Earlier this year, the Palisades fires drove buyers into Brentwood and other Westside neighborhoods, quickly absorbing available inventory and tightening the market.

Today’s CoreLogic/S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index further illustrates the trend. While the national index rose a modest 3.9% year-over-year, Los Angeles posted triple the monthly gains from January to February—largely driven by higher-priced homes in the West. Case-Shiller places significant weight on the Los Angeles market, and the recent jump highlights just how influential the region is in shaping national housing trends.

In Brentwood, this surge was felt. The luxury segment led the charge, and while the overall pace has cooled slightly, buyer demand remains focused and strong, especially for homes that are priced right and move-in ready.

Brentwood’s single-family home prices climbed steadily from $4.5M in early 2020 to a peak of nearly $7.5M in mid-2022, followed by a gradual decline through 2023 and a sharp dip in early 2024. As of May 2025, the market is showing signs of recovery, with the 7-day and 90-day averages trending upward again after bottoming out near $6M.

Despite the volatility, long-term pricing remains elevated, and the luxury segment continues to attract buyers

What It Means for Sellers and Buyers

Brentwood is in a slow but not stagnant market. Inventory is high, and buyers are taking their time. Pricing correctly is key, especially in the luxury range where competition is strongest. Sellers should be prepared to negotiate or wait longer unless the home is highly desirable or newly upgraded.

Buyers have the upper hand when properties are overpriced or lack updates. Homes priced under $5 million are seeing quicker movement, while larger estates in the $10 to $20 million range take longer to sell, especially if they lack modern finishes or haven’t been adjusted to reflect current market conditions.
