Five-Year Market Trend Analysis
Beverly Hills' market trajectory reveals a luxury segment that operates on different dynamics than the broader Los Angeles market. According to Zillow, the city has consistently outperformed county averages, driven by constrained supply, international demand, and the irreplaceable prestige of the Beverly Hills address.
| Year | Median Price | YoY Change | Avg DOM | Annual Sales | Price/Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $3,850,000 | +18.2% | 55 | 365 | $1,020 |
| 2022 | $4,450,000 | +15.6% | 48 | 352 | $1,180 |
| 2023 | $4,680,000 | +5.2% | 68 | 318 | $1,240 |
| 2024 | $5,050,000 | +7.9% | 62 | 330 | $1,310 |
| 2025 | $5,200,000 | +3.0% | 58 | 340 | $1,350 |
According to CoreLogic, Beverly Hills' 35% cumulative appreciation over five years significantly outpaced the Los Angeles County average of 28%. According to Redfin, the 2021-2022 surge was driven by pandemic-era demand from entertainment executives and international buyers returning to the market after travel restrictions eased.
What is driving Beverly Hills real estate trends in 2026? According to the California Association of REALTORS, three primary trends are shaping the Beverly Hills market: the normalization of interest rates creating renewed buyer confidence, an influx of tech-industry wealth from Silicon Beach companies, and a generational wealth transfer estimated at $8.2 billion over the next decade within Beverly Hills alone, according to the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances.
According to the National Association of REALTORS, Beverly Hills ranks among the top 10 luxury markets nationally by median price per transaction, with only select Manhattan, Palm Beach, and San Francisco neighborhoods commanding comparable or higher pricing. The city's global brand recognition — fueled by the 90210 cultural phenomenon — creates demand that transcends traditional market cycles.
Flats vs. Hills: The Two Markets of Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills effectively functions as two distinct real estate markets — the "flats" south of Sunset Boulevard and the "hills" north of Sunset. According to CRMLS, this geographic divide creates dramatically different pricing, buyer profiles, and farming strategies.
| Metric | Beverly Hills Flats | Beverly Hills Hills | City-Wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median Home Price | $3,800,000 | $9,500,000 | $5,200,000 |
| Median Condo Price | $1,650,000 | N/A | $1,650,000 |
| Price/Sq Ft | $1,100 | $1,680 | $1,350 |
| Avg Lot Size | 0.18 acres | 0.65 acres | 0.38 acres |
| Annual Transactions | 220 | 120 | 340 |
| Avg DOM | 48 | 75 | 58 |
| Investor Share | 18% | 8% | 14% |
According to Redfin, the Beverly Hills flats market moves faster and attracts a broader buyer pool, including first-time Beverly Hills buyers, downsizers from the hills, and investors seeking rental income from the city's luxury rental market. According to CoreLogic, the hills segment is dominated by trophy-home purchases with an average hold period of 12+ years.
How do Beverly Hills flats compare to the hills? According to the Los Angeles County Assessor, the flats-to-hills price differential averaged 2.5x in 2025, reflecting the premium for view lots, larger acreage, and gate-accessed privacy. According to C.A.R., approximately 35% of hills transactions are off-market or "whisper" listings, requiring agents to have deep network connections rather than relying on MLS marketing alone.
For agents seeking to understand how adjacent ultra-luxury markets compare, the Holmby Hills housing stats analysis examines the dynamics of Beverly Hills' neighbor to the west.
International Buyer Trends and Foreign Investment Impact
Beverly Hills' global brand attracts significant international investment that creates unique market dynamics. According to the National Association of REALTORS, approximately 22% of Beverly Hills transactions in 2025 involved international buyers — nearly 4x the national average of 6%.
| Buyer Origin | Share of International Purchases | Avg Purchase Price | Preferred Segment |
|---|---|---|---|
| China/Hong Kong | 28% | $6,800,000 | Hills estates |
| Middle East (UAE/Saudi) | 22% | $12,500,000 | Ultra-luxury hills |
| United Kingdom | 15% | $4,200,000 | Flats/Golden Triangle |
| Canada | 12% | $3,600,000 | Flats/condos |
| Latin America | 10% | $5,100,000 | Mixed |
| Other | 13% | $4,800,000 | Mixed |
According to CoreLogic, international buyers in Beverly Hills pay an average 31% premium over domestic buyers, reflecting their preference for turnkey properties and prestige addresses. According to the California Association of REALTORS, international purchasing activity in Beverly Hills recovered to 95% of pre-pandemic levels by 2025, with Middle Eastern buyers showing the strongest growth trajectory.
Are international buyers still active in Beverly Hills? According to the National Association of REALTORS, international luxury real estate investment in the United States reached $59 billion in 2025, with Los Angeles — and Beverly Hills specifically — capturing the largest individual-market share. According to Redfin, the weak dollar relative to Middle Eastern currencies has amplified purchasing power for Gulf State buyers, with several $20M+ transactions attributed to this dynamic in 2025.
According to the California Association of REALTORS, agents serving the Beverly Hills international market should expect transaction timelines 30-45% longer than domestic deals due to cross-border capital transfer requirements, though these transactions generate significantly higher per-deal revenue.
The US Tech Automations platform enables agents to segment their Beverly Hills farm databases by buyer origin, creating multi-language outreach sequences and cultural event-triggered campaigns that resonate with international audiences.
Luxury Market Segments and Price Tier Analysis
Beverly Hills' market encompasses multiple distinct price tiers, each with different dynamics, buyer profiles, and marketing requirements. According to CRMLS, understanding these segments is essential for targeted farming.
| Price Tier | Transaction Share | Avg DOM | Buyer Profile | Commission/Side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $2M (condos) | 22% | 35 | First-time BH, investors | $50,000 |
| $2M-$5M | 35% | 48 | Professional families | $87,500 |
| $5M-$10M | 25% | 62 | Entertainment executives | $187,500 |
| $10M-$20M | 12% | 85 | Ultra-high-net-worth | $375,000 |
| $20M+ | 6% | 120+ | International, celebrity | $500,000+ |
According to Zillow, the $2M-$5M segment represents the "sweet spot" for farming agents: sufficient volume to build a sustainable practice, manageable competition relative to the ultra-luxury tier, and commission levels that generate strong returns on farming investment. According to the National Association of REALTORS, agents who focus on a single price tier within Beverly Hills outperform generalists by 40% in listing appointments secured per farming dollar.
What price range sells fastest in Beverly Hills? According to CRMLS, properties in the $2M-$5M range average 48 days on market — the fastest-selling segment in Beverly Hills. According to CoreLogic, this segment benefits from the broadest buyer pool: domestic professionals, international investors, and downsizers from higher price tiers. According to Redfin, multiple-offer scenarios occur on approximately 30% of well-priced listings in this range.
New Development and Construction Trends
Beverly Hills' strict zoning and architectural review processes create a distinct development landscape. According to the Beverly Hills Planning Commission, the city processed 45 major residential construction permits in 2025, reflecting ongoing demand for modern luxury construction.
| Development Trend | 2021 | 2023 | 2025 | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Major Remodel Permits | 85 | 72 | 68 | Declining |
| New Construction Permits | 32 | 38 | 45 | Increasing |
| ADU Applications | 8 | 22 | 38 | Strong growth |
| Avg New Construction $/SF | $950 | $1,100 | $1,250 | Increasing |
| Demo-Rebuild Projects | 18 | 25 | 30 | Increasing |
According to the California Association of REALTORS, Beverly Hills' rising new construction activity reflects buyer preference for modern amenities — smart home systems, wellness rooms, zero-edge pools — that are expensive to retrofit into existing mid-century and traditional homes. According to CoreLogic, newly constructed homes in Beverly Hills command a 25-40% premium over renovated homes of comparable size.
According to C.A.R., California's ADU legislation has created a particularly interesting dynamic in Beverly Hills, where accessory dwelling units on properties worth $3-5M can generate $4,000-$6,000 monthly rental income. According to the National Association of REALTORS, this ADU trend represents a farming conversation opener for agents who can educate homeowners on the income potential of their underutilized lot space. The US Tech Automations platform tracks ADU permit activity and can trigger automated outreach to homeowners in zones where ADU construction is trending.
According to Redfin, the demolish-and-rebuild trend in Beverly Hills has intensified, with 30 properties razed for ground-up luxury construction in 2025. According to the Los Angeles County Assessor, the average lot value for demo-rebuild projects was $3.2M, with completed homes valued at $8-15M — making these projects exceptionally high-commission transactions for connected farming agents.
How to Track Beverly Hills Market Trends for Farming Success
Monitoring Beverly Hills trends requires systematic data collection and analysis. According to the National Association of REALTORS, agents who base their farming strategy on data-driven trend analysis outperform intuition-based approaches by 2.5x in listing conversion.
Monitor MLS activity daily for your target micro-zone. According to CRMLS, Beverly Hills averages 6-8 new listings per week. Set automated alerts for new listings, price changes, and status updates within your farm boundaries. According to Redfin, agents who respond to market changes within 24 hours capture 3x more seller inquiries from homeowners tracking neighborhood activity.
Track the flats-vs-hills price gap quarterly. According to CoreLogic, the flats-to-hills price ratio fluctuates between 2.3x and 2.8x depending on ultra-luxury market activity. When the gap widens, it signals hill-to-flats downsizer opportunities. According to C.A.R., tracking this ratio helps predict which segment will generate the next transaction surge.
Monitor international capital flow indicators. According to the National Association of REALTORS, international luxury purchase activity correlates with currency exchange rates, visa policy changes, and geopolitical events. According to Zillow, agents who track these macro indicators can anticipate international buying waves 3-6 months before they materialize in transaction data.
Analyze permit activity for renovation and new construction signals. According to the Beverly Hills Planning Commission, residential permit applications are public record and signal future listing activity: major renovation projects typically trigger a sale within 2-3 years of completion. Build a permit monitoring workflow in your US Tech Automations dashboard.
Track off-market transaction patterns. According to C.A.R., approximately 25% of Beverly Hills transactions occur off-market. According to CRMLS, off-market activity is highest in the $10M+ segment. Developing a network of agents who share pocket listings requires consistent community presence and reciprocal cooperation — technology alone cannot replace relationship capital in this market.
Benchmark Beverly Hills trends against adjacent luxury markets. According to CoreLogic, Beverly Hills pricing often leads broader Westside trends by 6-12 months. Compare monthly data against Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Beverly Glen to identify cross-market trends. The Beverly Glen market data offers detailed analysis of how canyon living values compare.
Measure absorption rate and months-of-supply by price tier. According to Redfin, Beverly Hills' overall months-of-supply stood at 4.8 in late 2025 — balanced market territory. However, according to CRMLS, this masks dramatic variation: the sub-$3M segment showed 2.8 months (seller's market) while the $10M+ segment showed 9.5 months (buyer's market). Understanding which tiers favor sellers versus buyers shapes your farming messaging.
Run quarterly competitive analysis of agent market share. According to CRMLS, the top 10 agents in Beverly Hills control approximately 40% of transaction volume. According to C.A.R., new entrants who successfully break into Beverly Hills farming typically target a specific price tier or geographic micro-zone where incumbent agents are least concentrated.
Deploy automated trend reporting to your farm contacts. According to the National Association of REALTORS, homeowners who receive quarterly market trend reports from a specific agent are 2.8x more likely to interview that agent when listing. US Tech Automations' automated reporting workflow generates personalized trend summaries for each contact in your database, calibrated to their property's specific micro-zone and price tier.

According to C.A.R., luxury farming agents require platforms that handle the complexity of high-value, low-volume markets where each relationship and touchpoint matters disproportionately. The US Tech Automations platform was designed with these requirements as core features, not afterthoughts bolted onto a lead-generation architecture.
Emerging Trends Shaping Beverly Hills Real Estate
Several forward-looking trends will reshape the Beverly Hills market over the next 3-5 years. According to the California Association of REALTORS, agents who position themselves ahead of these trends will capture disproportionate market share.
| Trend | Current Impact | 2028 Projection | Farming Implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Generational Wealth Transfer | $8.2B over 10 years | Peak activity | Heir/estate specialists in demand |
| Wellness-Oriented Construction | 15% of new builds | 40% of new builds | Lifestyle marketing angle |
| EV Infrastructure | 30% homes with chargers | 70% projected | Green feature premiums |
| Remote Work Permanence | 45% BH residents WFH | 50%+ projected | Home office valuations |
| Climate Adaptation | Emerging concern | Insurance premium driver | Risk mitigation expertise |
| AI-Powered Home Search | 12% of initial searches | 35%+ projected | Digital presence essential |
According to Zillow, the wellness construction trend is particularly pronounced in Beverly Hills, where new homes increasingly feature meditation rooms, cold plunge pools, infrared saunas, and air purification systems. According to Redfin, homes with documented wellness features command 10-18% premiums over comparable traditional luxury homes.
According to the National Association of REALTORS, the generational wealth transfer represents the single largest opportunity for Beverly Hills farming agents over the next decade. According to the Federal Reserve, an estimated $8.2 billion in Beverly Hills real estate assets will transfer to the next generation, creating both listing opportunities (heirs selling inherited properties) and purchase opportunities (heirs reinvesting in the same market).
For agents analyzing how these trends manifest in adjacent neighborhoods, the Laurel Canyon demographics analysis explores similar generational shifts in a neighboring canyon community.
Beverly Hills Seasonal Transaction Patterns
According to CRMLS, Beverly Hills transaction timing reveals distinct seasonal patterns that inform farming campaign optimization.
| Quarter | Share of Sales | Avg Sale Price | International Share | DOM Avg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 (Jan-Mar) | 22% | $5,000,000 | 25% | 62 |
| Q2 (Apr-Jun) | 32% | $5,500,000 | 28% | 52 |
| Q3 (Jul-Sep) | 26% | $5,150,000 | 18% | 58 |
| Q4 (Oct-Dec) | 20% | $4,900,000 | 15% | 65 |
According to Redfin, Beverly Hills' Q2 peak coincides with the period when international buyers are most active, contributing to both the higher average price and the elevated international share during spring months. According to C.A.R., agents who time their highest-intensity marketing to February-March position themselves for maximum Q2 capture.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the median home price in Beverly Hills in 2026?
According to CRMLS, the median home price in Beverly Hills is approximately $5,200,000, encompassing both the flats ($3,800,000 median) and hills ($9,500,000 median) segments. According to Zillow, the city-wide median reflects a 3.0% increase over 2024, with the strongest appreciation in the $2M-$5M segment that attracts the broadest buyer pool.
How much do Beverly Hills real estate agents earn?
According to the National Association of REALTORS, top-producing Beverly Hills agents earn $1M-$5M+ annually in gross commission income. According to C.A.R., the average per-side commission on the Beverly Hills median is $130,000, meaning an agent closing just 8 transactions annually earns over $1M in GCI. According to CRMLS, the top 10 agents each closed 15-30 transactions in 2025.
What percentage of Beverly Hills buyers are international?
According to the National Association of REALTORS, approximately 22% of Beverly Hills residential transactions in 2025 involved international buyers, nearly 4x the national average. According to CoreLogic, international buyers concentrate in the $5M+ segment where they represent approximately 35% of purchases, driven by Chinese, Middle Eastern, British, and Canadian capital.
Is Beverly Hills real estate a good investment?
According to Zillow, Beverly Hills has delivered 35% cumulative appreciation over five years, outperforming the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis when accounting for leverage effects. According to C.A.R., the city's constrained supply (bounded geography, strict zoning, limited new construction) and irreplaceable brand prestige create structural appreciation advantages. According to CoreLogic, Beverly Hills has never experienced a calendar-year median price decline exceeding 8%, even during the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
How competitive is Beverly Hills real estate farming?
According to CRMLS, the top 10 agents control approximately 40% of Beverly Hills transaction volume, making it one of the most concentrated luxury markets in the country. According to the National Association of REALTORS, successful new entrants typically focus on a specific price tier (the $2M-$5M "sweet spot") or geographic micro-zone (such as the Golden Triangle or north-of-Sunset hillside) rather than competing city-wide from day one.
What are the most expensive streets in Beverly Hills?
According to the Los Angeles County Assessor, the most expensive residential streets in Beverly Hills include Carolwood Drive, Copa de Oro Road, Lexington Road, Tower Grove Drive, and Beverly Drive north of Sunset. According to CRMLS, these streets command median prices exceeding $15M, with individual transactions regularly surpassing $30M. According to Redfin, Copa de Oro Road recorded the city's highest residential sale of 2025 at $48M.
How does Beverly Hills compare to Bel Air pricing?
According to CRMLS, Beverly Hills' city-wide median of $5,200,000 compares to Bel Air's median of approximately $5,400,000. However, according to CoreLogic, this comparison is misleading: Beverly Hills includes a substantial condo and flats market that pulls the median lower, while Bel Air is almost exclusively single-family estates. At the single-family level, comparable Beverly Hills hills properties and Bel Air properties are closely matched. The Bel Air agent guide provides detailed analysis of that adjacent market.
What impact do celebrity sales have on Beverly Hills pricing?
According to CoreLogic, high-profile celebrity transactions in Beverly Hills generate outsized media attention but have limited direct impact on neighborhood-wide pricing. According to the National Association of REALTORS, celebrity sales function primarily as marketing events that reinforce Beverly Hills' brand prestige, which indirectly supports demand across all price tiers. According to C.A.R., the "celebrity halo effect" is estimated to contribute 3-5% of Beverly Hills' overall price premium relative to comparable non-celebrity-associated luxury neighborhoods.
When is the best time to list a home in Beverly Hills?
According to CRMLS, Beverly Hills' optimal listing season runs from February through May, when international buyers are most active and entertainment industry bonus cycles create liquidity. According to Redfin, homes listed in March-April sell for an average 5% premium over fall listings. According to C.A.R., the luxury segment above $10M is less seasonally sensitive, with off-market transactions occurring throughout the year based on relationship-driven timing.
Conclusion: Positioning for Beverly Hills Farming Success
Beverly Hills represents the pinnacle of residential real estate farming opportunity in the United States, with median commissions exceeding $130,000 per side and a market that generates approximately $85M in annual commission revenue. According to the National Association of REALTORS, the city's combination of global brand recognition, constrained supply, and international demand creates appreciation dynamics that consistently outperform broader market averages.
