57 homes sold in La Jolla in May, 11% fewer sales than in April. Here’s a summary of the housing activity (the MLS data do not include private sales and are believed to be accurate at the time this report was compiled but are not guaranteed).

 

Single Family Homes Sold
30 (down by 3); 19 Average Days on Market; The Average Sales Price was $4,020,650 (down 1%); the average sales price was 99% of the original asking price.

Condos, Townhomes & Duplexes Sold
27 (down by 4); 28 Average Days on Market; Average Sales Price was $1,385,511 (down 26%); Average sales price was 97% of the original asking price.

 

The overall volume of sales in the La Jolla real estate market decreased from April. Condo, townhome and duplex sales were lower, as were single family homes sales. Sales prices ranged from $585,800 to $17,500,000.

 

The average time on the market was 3 days longer for condos, townhomes and duplexes, but was 5 days shorter for single family homes. A number of buyers made prompt decisions, with 35% of the homes going pending in 6 days or less. As a result, it’s still important to be prepared to make prompt decisions about touring homes and submitting offers.

 

The average sales price for single family homes decreased slightly from last month. On the other hand, the average price for condos, townhomes and duplexes decreased significantly from April.

 

The majority of the home buyers were able to negotiate the prices of their new homes down from asking price, while 44% paid list price or more for their new homes.

 

The median sales price of single family homes, $3,144,750, was up 5% from the median last month. In contrast, the median price of $1,117,520 for condos, townhomes and duplexes was 26% lower than in April.

 

LA Jolla Farms homes in La Jolla CA

 

There was 1 La Jolla home with an Active Under Contract status at the end of May, the same as in April (when they occur these homes are considered active but may not accept backup offers or be available to tour).

 

There were 193 homes on the market at the end of May, compared to 152 at the end of April (up 27%). May list prices ranged from $524,900 to $108,000,000.

                                                                                    

The current supply of single family homes is 3.7 months (up from 3.1 months last month), and 3.1 months for condos, townhomes and duplexes (up from 2.8 months last month). This is based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months and existing inventory.

 

La Jolla continues to be a seller’s market for single family homes, and for condos, townhomes and duplexes.

 

There were 111 new listings in May, up from 83 in April. 26 homes went pending (excluding those homes that closed escrow) as compared to 32 last month.

Jeff, your La Jolla market report for May 2025 provides excellent, detailed insights! It's clear that La Jolla remains a dynamic seller's market, especially for single-family homes, despite the slight dip in sales volume. The breakdown of days on market and sales price percentages is very valuable for both buyers and sellers.

Good morning, Jeff. I enjoyed reading your update on La Jolla. 50 years ago when I lived in San Francisco and travelled regularly to your neck of the woods I always said if I had my druthers and could move anywhere in California, La Jolla would be in my top three places to live.

Thank you, Nina Hollander, Broker 

We considered La Jolla when househunting for our move from Boston back in 2004 but decided we wanted to be further north and closer to our daughter in LA.

Jeff Dowler, CRS that's as good a reason as any. And I haven't ever sensed you regretted that decision.
