Real Estate Market Snapshot

Venice is one of the Westside's most dynamic and closely watched markets — a neighborhood where a beachfront bungalow, a canal home, and a tech-exec modern build can sit on the same block and trade at dramatically different price points. As of mid-2026, the median sale price runs approximately $1.9 million to $2.75 million depending on the data source and reporting window, with Zillow's average home value closer to $1.85 million. Redfin's broader Venice data shows the median sale price down modestly year-over-year (roughly 2% to 24% depending on the specific reporting period and boundary used), while median list prices have climbed to around $2.5 million to $2.73 million — a gap that reflects demand concentrated at the top of the market even as average values have softened.

Types of Homes Available

Venice offers beachfront and near-beachfront homes along the Venice Boardwalk and Walk Streets, canal-front residences in the Venice Canals Historic District, contemporary architect-built homes popular with Silicon Beach tech executives, and more accessible single-family and condo inventory inland toward Mar Vista. Single-family homes sold recently at a median of roughly $2.175 million with a median price per square foot around $1,285 to $1,404, positioning Venice within the upper tier of the Westside corridor, just behind Santa Monica and ahead of neighboring Mar Vistas.

Most Coveted Neighborhoods & Luxury Communities

The Venice Canals remain the neighborhood's most distinctive and sought-after address, prized for walkability and architectural variety unmatched elsewhere on the Westside. The Walk Streets near the beach offer a bohemian, artistic character that commands a premium for lifestyle and proximity to the boardwalk, while inland pockets closer to Mar Vista provide relatively more accessible entry points without sacrificing Venice's cultural cachet.
