January West Los Angeles Market Snapshot

What Beverlywood Home Sales Show Over Time

Each January, I step back and look at what actually happened in our local real estate market — not forecasts or headlines, but real, closed sales. Over more than a decade of reviewing this data, one pattern has stood out: the number of homes sold each year remains relatively consistent, while prices steadily rise.


This January snapshot looks first at Beverlywood as a whole, then drills down into three key sub-markets where I have long-standing experience and market share: Beverlywood HOA, Castle Heights, and Reynier Village. All data referenced in the final version of this report are based on single-family home sales reported in the Combined LA/Westside MLS, using consistent boundaries year over year.

Beverlywood Area: Long-Term Sales & Pricing Perspective

Over multiple years, Beverlywood sales activity tends to fluctuate within a relatively narrow range. What changes far more dramatically over time is pricing.


Beverlywood Area — Annual Comparison (MLS Closed Sales)

Preliminary observation: Sales volume remains consistent over time, while average pricing continues to trend upward.


Beverlywood HOA: Premium Pricing with Limited Turnover

Beverlywood HOA has historically represented the highest price point within the broader Beverlywood area. While annual sales counts are typically higher here than in adjacent neighborhoods, long-term price appreciation has remained intact.


Beverlywood HOA — Long-Term Comparison

Preliminary observation: Fewer transactions, but higher pricing over time, with buyer selectivity playing a larger role in recent years.

Castle Heights: Consistency in Sales and Demand

Castle Heights has long shown one of the most stable sales patterns in this part of the Westside. Compared with Beverlywood HOA, it typically sees higher annual transaction counts while still benefiting from long-term price growth.


Castle Heights — Long-Term Comparison

Preliminary observation: Steady turnover combined with gradual upward pricing has made Castle Heights one of the most predictable local markets.

Reynier Village: Lower Entry Point, Same Long-Term Trend

Reynier Village generally represents the most accessible pricing of the three neighborhoods reviewed here. Despite that, its long-term sales and pricing patterns closely mirror the broader Beverlywood area.


Reynier Village — Long-Term Comparison

Preliminary observation: Sales activity remains relatively consistent over time, while pricing continues its long-term upward trajectory.


Closing Perspective

Market conditions change from year to year, but long-term data continues to show that established Westside neighborhoods like Beverlywood, Castle Heights, and Reynier Village are driven more by supply, location, and consistency than by short-term headlines.

Understanding these long-term patterns is essential when making informed real estate decisions.
