All information provided by MLS/CLAW is deemed accurate but is not guaranteed.

Santa Monica real estate continues to be an extreme sellers’ market. In all instances except 90401, not surprisingly because this is primarily a commercial district.

Sales are down because of low inventory, but the overall median price is up.

Inventory is still extremely low with only 34 single family homes and 64 condos available for purchase. So if you are thinking of selling your Santa Monica home your home is sorely needed.
