Glendale, CA Housing Market Report

The Glendale housing market is currently navigating a period of transition as we conclude 2025. While the median home value of $1,149,115 reflects a modest year-over-year decline of 1.72%, the market has shown consistent month-over-month growth since July. With active inventory surging by 11.53% to 18,566 units and homes sitting on the market for an average of 65 days—a 12-day increase from last year—the environment is shifting toward a more balanced state. The sale-to-list ratio holding steady at 1 indicates that while buyers have more options, sellers are still generally receiving their asking prices.

Recent price trends suggest a recovery in momentum following a mid-year dip. After bottoming out in August at approximately $1.13 million, values have climbed steadily for four consecutive months. This upward trajectory in the latter half of the year suggests that demand remains resilient despite broader economic headwinds. The increase in inventory is likely providing the necessary liquidity to facilitate more transactions, though the extended days on market suggests that buyers are becoming more selective and are no longer rushing into purchases with the same urgency seen in previous years.

Looking ahead, both buyers and sellers must adjust their expectations to this new pace. For sellers, the increase in competition and longer selling timelines mean that property presentation and realistic pricing are more critical than ever. For buyers, the current climate offers a rare window of opportunity where inventory is higher and the frantic bidding wars of the past have cooled, yet prices are beginning to firm up again. As part of the broader Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area, Glendale continues to benefit from its central location and desirable amenities, which should provide a floor for property values even as the market stabilizes.
