The Manhattan Beach median home price jumped 10% in 2025, landing at a record‑setting $3.325 million, according to local real estate blog MB Confidential.

This year’s finish-line number is 6% above the previous high of $3.137 million set in 2022. It's also more than double the median back in 2008. 

"Prices were actually pretty steady for most of 2025 after an initial bump in January," said Dave Fratello, broker/owner of Edge Real Estate Agency and author of MB Confidential. "Due to the market impact of the tragic LA County wildfires, however, 2025 saw an uncommonly, wildly busy January and first quarter."

Fratello added that the first quarter was among the busiest Q1s ever seen for closed sales, with a total of 87. "It sounds crazy to say this, but as the year unfolded after, no other quarter of 2025 matched Q1 for closed sales. This simply never happens," he said.

As a quick refresher on terms: the median price marks the midpoint of all sales in the market for the year. Half the homes sold for more, half for less. It’s not an average, but the figure is definitely influenced by which types of homes are changing hands. The median goes up if larger, pricier homes are trading.
