San Pedro Real Estate Market Update – July 2025


“Odd market, but definitely moving!“

San Pedro’s housing market remains in a slight seller’s advantage zone. The MAI has inched up from 42 to 44, signaling a bit more seller leverage compared to last month. Inventory has held steady, but prices have crept upward. That said, nearly half of listings have seen price reductions — a sign that sellers are still adjusting expectations to match market realities.

Quick Snapshot

  • Median List Price: $999,974 (up from last month’s $986,747)
  • Market Action Index (MAI): 44 — Slight Seller’s Advantage
  • Inventory: Steady at 63 homes
  • Median Days on Market: 46 (Average DOM: 63)
  • Price Per Square Foot: $613
  • Price Reductions: 46% of active listings
  • Relisted Properties: 9%
  • Median Rent: $4,000

Pricing Trends

The current median list price sits just under the $1M mark at $999,974, while the median price of new listings is slightly higher at $1,003,000. The price per square foot remains healthy at $613, suggesting stable demand in the mid-to-upper market segments.


Market Segments

Breaking the market into quartiles gives us a clearer view of what’s available:

  1. Top Tier – Median: $1,674,450 | Avg. 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,630 sq. ft., DOM: 45
  2. Upper-Mid – Median: $1,247,500 | Avg. 4 bed, 3 bath, 1,972 sq. ft., DOM: 29
  3. Lower-Mid – Median: $937,000 | Avg. 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1,763 sq. ft., DOM: 49
  4. Entry Level – Median: $756,000 | Avg. 2 bed, 1.5 bath, 1,136 sq. ft., DOM: 21

The fastest-moving homes are in the entry-level bracket, with just 21 median days on market — a clear sign that affordability remains a major driver for buyers.


What This Means for Buyers

  • The market still favors sellers slightly, but price reductions (46% of listings) create room for negotiation.
  • If you’re eyeing the entry-level segment, be ready to act quickly — homes here are moving in about three weeks.
  • Mid- and upper-tier homes are taking longer to sell, giving buyers in these ranges more time and leverage.

What This Means for Sellers

  • Even in a slight seller’s market, buyers are price-sensitive. Correct pricing from the start can reduce the chance of a markdown later.
  • Well-presented homes in the under-$800K range are in highest demand.
  • Higher-tier listings may need stronger marketing, staging, and strategic pricing to stand out.

Bottom Line

San Pedro’s market is steady, leaning in favor of sellers — but with clear opportunities for buyers to find value, especially when targeting listings with recent price drops. Expect competition to be strongest at the lower price points, while patience and flexibility will be key for higher-tier sellers.
