For homeowners in Rolling Hills, timing the market has always been part art, part data but as we move through 2025, the numbers are aligning in favor of sellers who act sooner rather than later. With limited inventory, renewed buyer confidence, and steady price appreciation across the Palos Verdes Peninsula, this spring and summer market may represent a window of rare opportunity.

📉 Tight Inventory, High Demand

Even with modest interest-rate fluctuations, the Rolling Hills market continues to favor sellers. Inventory remains well below historical averages with fewer than two months of supply at the start of Q2 2025. That means homes that are priced correctly and presented well are selling swiftly, many within the first 30 days.

Buyers, particularly those relocating from the Westside and Orange County, are eager to secure privacy, acreage, and the unique equestrian lifestyle that Rolling Hills offers. While higher borrowing costs have cooled some segments of the market statewide, qualified luxury buyers remain highly active and motivated.

“Buyers aren’t waiting for rates to fall anymore,” says Suzanne Dyer of Strand Hill | Forbes Global Properties. “They’re realizing that inventory is tight, and the best homes often sell quietly or off-market. If you’re a seller, this is your moment to stand out.”

💰 Rolling Hills Market Snapshot

The data confirms this momentum. The median home price in Rolling Hills increased from approximately $3.9 million in 2024 to $4.2 million by mid-2025  a 7.5% year-over-year gain. Despite early 2025’s higher interest rates, demand has remained strong for move-in-ready properties, estate parcels, and renovated homes with views or equestrian amenities.

Homes that combine architectural appeal with lifestyle amenities such as guest houses, outdoor entertaining spaces, and sustainable features are leading the market. As buyers increasingly focus on long-term quality of life, Rolling Hills’ gated community, scenic privacy, and access to top-rated schools continue to make it one of Southern California’s most desirable enclaves.

🏠 Strategic Selling in 2025

Sellers who prepare their homes thoughtfully are seeing the strongest results. Pre-listing inspections, light cosmetic updates, and professional staging can dramatically improve presentation and pricing leverage. Today’s buyers are discerning they’ll pay top dollar for a property that feels move-in ready and well maintained.

Marketing exposure is equally critical. High-quality photography, lifestyle videos, targeted social media campaigns, and strong global representation through Forbes Global Properties help capture the right audience. Strand Hill’s international reach ensures your listing is seen not only locally, but also by affluent buyers across key feeder markets including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, and overseas.

“A successful sale is always about strategy,” Suzanne explains. “We analyze timing, pricing, and presentation to position the property where buyers are looking. The goal is not just to sell quickly, it’s to sell confidently and maximize your return.”

📈 Why Now Makes Sense

While some homeowners are waiting for lower mortgage rates before listing, doing so could mean entering a more competitive market later. Historically, as rates decline, more sellers list increasing inventory and reducing individual visibility. Acting now allows you to take advantage of buyer demand before that shift occurs.

Additionally, many buyers are choosing to purchase now and refinance later, which means they’re motivated to move forward even at current rates. For sellers in Rolling Hills, this creates a dynamic environment where high-quality homes can still command premium prices.
