Beverly Hills moved faster even as more homes sat on the market

Mortgage rates climbed above 7.5%, according to CNBC. That slowed a lot of markets. But ZIP 90210 did something different.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 70 homes sold in 90210 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. The median sale price hit $4,872,500, up 22.7% from the same three months in 2025. And homes sold in a median of 50 days, which was 34 days shorter than a year before. That gap matters. Most other ZIPs in this market moved in the opposite direction.

How each ZIP stacked up

90210 was the clear outlier on speed and price growth. But look at 90212. The Real Estate Data Aggregator showed a median of $2,727,500 there, up 13.8%. And 41.7% of homes sold above list price, the highest share in the market. Only 12 homes sold, though, down 29.4% from a year before. A small sample can move a number fast.

Where homes went under contract fast

ZIP 90035 stood out here. The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 34.2% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. That share rose 2.9 points from a year before. Median days on market there were 58, the second fastest in the group. Prices dipped 2.9%, but buyers were still moving.

ZIP 90048 told a different story. Only 4.2% of homes went under contract in two weeks, down 16.8 points from a year before. Median days on market hit 93, the longest in the market. Prices fell 3.4%. More homes sold than a year ago, up 13.6%, but buyers took their time getting there.

The wider picture

Across all seven ZIPs, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 378 homes sold, down 6% from the same period in 2025. Pending sales fell 9.7%. Fewer homes are coming to market and fewer are closing. That is the backdrop every seller is working against right now.

Nationally, Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings took a price cut in September, the highest September share since 2018. That tells you buyers have options and they know it. Pricing precisely matters more now than it did a year ago.

Months of supply: how much competition you face

90035 had 4.8 months of supply, the tightest in the group. Every other ZIP sat at 6.3 months or more. 90212 hit 10.7 months, up 3.3 months from a year before. More inventory relative to buyers means sellers there have to work harder on price and presentation.

One more thing about 90069

ZIP 90069, which covers West Hollywood, showed a median sale price of $1,400,000, up 18.1% from a year before. That sounds strong. But the Real Estate Data Aggregator also counted 264 homes for sale, up 7.3% from 2025, and 9.9 months of supply. Fewer homes sold, down 13.7%. Rising prices alongside rising inventory and falling sales is a mix worth watching closely if you own there.
