Marina Del Rey Real Estate in 2025
A Tale of Many Markets
A Year-Over-Year Analysis by Sub-Area
The Big Picture
Marina Del Rey has always been a collection of distinct micro-markets, each with its own character, buyer profile, and pricing dynamics. From the beachfront single-family homes of Silver Strand to the high-rise towers overlooking the harbor, this community offers everything from entry-level condos to multi-million dollar waterfront estates.
What made 2025 especially interesting wasn't that Marina Del Rey behaved differently—it's that the data revealed just how dramatically each pocket performed. And in some cases, the headline numbers told a very different story than what was actually happening on the ground.
The Headline Numbers
At a headline level, Marina Del Rey's overall market showed modest growth in 2025. Total sales increased slightly by 1.3% (233 sales vs. 230 in 2024), while total volume rose 3.4% to $360.5 million. The median sale price edged up 1.9% to $1,266,476, and price per square foot increased 2.2% to $859.
But here's what the headlines don't tell you: the market moved in two very different directions depending on property type.
The real story emerged when comparing single-family homes to attached properties—and when drilling down into Marina Del Rey's distinct sub-areas. In some cases, what looked like dramatic appreciation was actually a shift in the mix of homes that sold.

The Big Picture: Three Things That Defined 2025
Single-Family Homes Surged While Attached Properties Cooled
The most striking trend in 2025 was the divergence between single-family homes and attached properties. Silver Strand and Oxford Triangle saw increased sales activity, while high-rise segments like The Towers and Marina City Club experienced declining sales volume.
This tells us buyers were willing to pay a premium for detached homes in prime coastal locations, while the attached market became more balanced—and in some cases, buyer-friendly.
The Mix of Homes Sold Matters More Than You Think
One of the most important lessons from 2025: headline numbers can be misleading. In Silver Strand SFRs, price per square foot appeared to jump over 22%—but the real driver was a shift in the mix of homes that sold, not broad price appreciation.
In 2025, smaller homes sold more frequently, and five ultra-premium beachfront properties traded (including two on Ocean Front Walk)—sales that didn't happen in 2024. These trophy properties pulled up averages significantly while also contributing to longer days on market.
Days on Market Varied Dramatically
The median days on market increased overall from 46 to 52 days, but this average masks significant variation. In Silver Strand SFRs, days on market increased from 51 to 83 days—but this wasn't a sign of weakening demand. Rather, it reflected that 2025 included more unique, high-value trophy properties that naturally take longer to find the right buyer.
In contrast, Marina Arts District properties sold faster (37 days vs. 41 in 2024), indicating strong demand in that segment.
A Tale of Many Markets
Key trends varied significantly across Marina Del Rey's distinct sub-areas. Here's how each pocket performed.
Silver Strand SFRs
A STORY OF TROPHY PROPERTIESAt first glance, Silver Strand SFRs looked like the clear standout in 2025. Sales increased 38.5% (from 13 to 18), median prices rose 9.0% to $3,581,500, and price per square foot jumped 22.2% to $988.
But dig deeper, and a more nuanced story emerges.
The PPSF increase was driven by smaller homes selling in 2025, not broad price appreciation. The median square footage dropped 13.5% (from 4,501 to 3,895 sqft). When you sell smaller homes at similar prices, PPSF naturally goes up.
| Metric | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | 13 | 18 | +38.5% |
| Median Price | $3,285,000 | $3,581,500 | +9.0% |
| Median PPSF | $809 | $988 | +22.2% |
| Median SqFt | 4,501 | 3,895 | -13.5% |
| Median Days on Market | 51 | 83 | +62.7% |
The Big Difference: Ultra-Premium Sales
2025 saw five sales over $5 million—compared to zero in 2024. This included two sales on Ocean Front Walk, Marina Del Rey's most prestigious beachfront address:
| Property | Sale Price | Price/SqFt | Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5107 Ocean Front Walk | $10,300,000 | $1,923 | 82 |
| 4 Yawl St | $8,750,000 | $1,325 | 87 |
| 3501 Oceanfront Walk | $7,750,000 | $2,128 | 126 |
The takeaway: The 2024 sales were more "typical" Silver Strand homes in the $2.4M–$4.9M range. The 2025 data reflects a different mix of inventory, not necessarily a market-wide price surge.
Silver Strand Attached
PREMIUM WATERFRONTSilver Strand attached properties (townhomes and condos within the Silver Strand community) showed mixed results. Sales increased 12.0%, but median prices dipped 2.0% to $1,972,500. Price per square foot declined 4.3% to $1,336—still the highest PPSF in Marina Del Rey, reflecting the premium buyers pay for this location.
| Metric | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | 25 | 28 | +12.0% |
| Median Price | $2,012,500 | $1,972,500 | -2.0% |
| Median PPSF | $1,395 | $1,336 | -4.3% |
| Median Days on Market | 74 | 73 | -1.4% |
Oxford Triangle
STRONG SFR DEMANDOxford Triangle, the small pocket of single-family homes near Lincoln Boulevard, saw robust activity in 2025. Sales jumped 30.0% (from 10 to 13), and median prices rose 11.6% to $2,150,000.
However, price per square foot declined 18.8%, suggesting a shift in the mix of homes sold rather than a decline in underlying values.
| Metric | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | 10 | 13 | +30.0% |
| Median Price | $1,926,464 | $2,150,000 | +11.6% |
| Median PPSF | $1,150 | $934 | -18.8% |
| Median Days on Market | 68 | 52 | -23.5% |
Marina Arts District
RISING STARThe Marina Arts District was a rising star in 2025. Sales increased 22.2% (from 27 to 33), and median prices jumped 14.6% to $1,145,000—the highest appreciation of any segment. Properties also sold faster, with median days on market dropping from 41 to 37 days.
This area continues to attract buyers seeking a walkable, urban-adjacent lifestyle at a more accessible price point than Silver Strand.
| Metric | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | 27 | 33 | +22.2% |
| Median Price | $999,000 | $1,145,000 | +14.6% |
| Median PPSF | $835 | $820 | -1.8% |
| Median Days on Market | 41 | 37 | -9.8% |
The High-Rises: The Towers & Marina City Club
Marina Del Rey's iconic high-rise communities showed cooling trends in 2025. The Towers saw sales decline 6.2% (from 32 to 30), though median prices rose 7.6% to $1,552,500. Marina City Club, the largest condo community in Marina Del Rey, experienced an 11.1% decline in sales (from 36 to 32). However, median prices rose 5.8% to $627,000, and price per square foot jumped 15.8% to $537—suggesting that while fewer units traded, buyers were paying more per square foot for the units that did sell.
| Segment | 2025 Sales | 2025 Med Price | Price Δ | PPSF Δ | DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Towers | 30 | $1,552,500 | +7.6% | -5.9% | 53 |
| Marina City Club | 32 | $627,000 | +5.8% | +15.8% | 96 |
Note: Marina City Club continues to have the longest median days on market at 96 days, reflecting the unique buyer pool for this community.
Other Marina Del Rey Segments
| Segment | 2025 Sales | 2025 Med Price | Price Δ | PPSF Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Strand Adjacent Condos | 18 | $1,190,000 | +3.0% | -3.1% |
| Villa Marina East Patio Homes | 3 | $1,494,000 | -11.0% | -9.1% |
| MDR Townhomes | 59 | $1,250,000 | +0.2% | +0.4% |
MDR Townhomes remained stable with minimal price movement, while Villa Marina East Patio Homes saw a decline—though with only 3 sales, this segment is too small to draw broad conclusions.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
🏠For Sellers
2025 rewarded sellers in the single-family and premium segments—but the data shows that success varied by property type and price point. Trophy properties on Ocean Front Walk found buyers, but they took time. For attached property sellers, pricing strategy became more important—homes that were priced correctly and showed well still moved, but overpriced listings sat longer.
🔑For Buyers
Opportunities existed in 2025, particularly in the attached market. The increased inventory (+17.3% more listings) and longer days on market in several segments gave buyers more negotiating power. For those seeking single-family homes, competition remained strong in the core Silver Strand market, but patience could pay off—especially for properties that don't check every box.
The Team Tami Take
The 2025 Marina Del Rey market wasn't a single story—it was many stories happening at once. Single-family activity increased while high-rises cooled. Some segments saw dramatic appreciation while others offered value opportunities.
But perhaps the most important lesson from 2025 is this: headline numbers don't always tell the full story. The Silver Strand SFR market looked like it was on fire—until you realized that the mix of homes sold shifted dramatically, with smaller homes and ultra-premium beachfront properties driving the numbers.
