August 2025 Westwood Real Estate Market Update – What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

by Jason Craig

The Westwood housing market is staying strong as we move through late summer. Prices are up, homes are selling quickly, and buyer demand is still high. Whether you’re thinking of buying or selling, here’s what you need to know right now.

📊 Key Market Stats – July & Early August 2025

Median Sale Price: ~$1.16M (+6.4% YoY)
Median Listing Price: ~$1.4M (+5.7% YoY)
Homes Sold in July: 21 (+23.5% vs. last year)
Average Days on Market: 16 days (down from 28 days last year)

These numbers show a market that’s competitive and moving fast.

💡 What This Means for Buyers

Homes are going under agreement in just over two weeks on average.
Inventory is limited, so well-priced, move-in ready homes often see multiple offers.
Tip: Get pre-approved and be ready to act quickly to stand out in a competitive offer situation.

💡 What This Means for Sellers

This is still a strong seller’s market.
Pricing your home strategically—close to the current $1.16M median sale price—helps attract serious buyers quickly.
Staging works. Presenting your home in its best light can help you sell faster and for top dollar.
