San Gabriel Market Update November 2025
Many economists would consider the housing market to be extremely volitale these past few months. However they look at the big picture, sometimes the little markets within cities can tell an entirely different story. As a local realtor who studies the market daily, let me show you what’s really been going on with a San Gabriel Market Update!
Historic Data
San Gabriel’s housing market has fluctuated a lot since Covid-19. From 2020–2022 the housing market became a strong seller’s market, with homes selling within days and often over asking price. However, between 2023–2024 that momentum slowed down as mortgage-rate skyrocketed and buyer demand plumented. Now in the last months of 2025 we are seeing homes reducing price and starter homes selling for under market value: Redfin reports that in October 2025 median sale price in San Gabriel was around $1,037,500, up approximately 15.9% year-over-year. Other websites like zillow or MLS driven data show smaller year-over-year gains. This shows up that while the market had a period of fast growth, homes are starting to stabilize as affordability decreases for a majority of buyers, but it’s key to note that while most homes are stabilizing, they are not decreasing in value as other cities are.
San Gabriel's Housing Market
The average or median home value in San Gabriel is around the ~$1.03M–$1.10M range for late 2025. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, these home values continue to rise despite the decreasing affordability in the overall market. This is primarily due to San Gabriel’s unique location and accessibility to local amenities in the area.
DOM, or Days on Market, vary by source however they are generally: an of average ~44 days to sale in November 2025. Essentially it takes around 44 days to sell any type of home in San Gabriel. It’s important to note however that different cities have different average DOM’s. Homes in North San Gabriel for example sell nearly twice as fast as home in South San Gabriel.
Los Angeles County has a median sale price in the mid-to-high $800Ks range. San Gabriel remains well above county median by a significant margin, reflecting the area’s housing demand and low inventory.
Current Supply
Inventory in San Gabriel for November is still relatively tight versus historical averages, but it is not as low as the inventory between 2020-2022 when the market was on fire. Different websites show different inventory metrics: With an average of around 20-30 active listings at any given time. All in all the market remains with low inventory and competitive buyers. Overpriced homes however run the risk of sitting on the market for months on end still.
Current Trends
Recent sales show that homes that are generally turn key and priced aggressively still receive multiple offers, as well as a bidding war. While homes that are in poor condition and priced at or slightly above market value see longer days on market, and often a sales price lower than market value.
Most listings in generally sell without having a price reduction, indicating that sellers still have the advantage in the market, but not as much as prior years. Homes take longer on the market to sell, and while buyers are not enjoying a buyers market priviledge, they are having more options in the current market than ever before. The ones who truly benefit still in today’s market are the smart & savvy sellers who understand how to price aggresively.
2026 Housing Predictions
As a local realtor who studies the market daily, here are my best predictions of what is to come in the housing market for 2026.
Prices will continue to grow at a small rate, most likely nothing over 4% appreciation yearly.
Most cash buyers and heavily pre-qualified buyers will still have the advantage in the market, and the ones who will suffer the most in finding affordable housing are the first time homebuyers.
I predict that inventory will stay relatively the same, without much volatility in terms of more or less listings.
All in all things will pretty much be the same as we have seen in 2025, unless something crazy happens to the economy.
