Where do these Santa Monica figures come from?
They are computed from condominium listings currently active on LA Condo HQ in Santa Monica as of September 28, 2026. "Median" is the middle value of that active set, not an average and not a closed-sale statistic. A statistic computed from fewer than 3 listings, or from a field that fewer than 50% of the active set publishes, is omitted rather than published — so a figure you do not see on this page is one we could not stand behind, not a zero. The page refreshes hourly.

Methodology
Every figure on this page is computed from condominium listings CURRENTLY ACTIVE on LA Condo HQ in Santa Monica — not from closed sales, and not from a county-wide index. "Median" means the middle value of the active set (half the listings ask more, half ask less); we report medians rather than averages so a single trophy penthouse cannot move the headline number.
Median price per square foot is the median of each listing's own asking price divided by its own interior square footage, computed only over listings that publish both. Bed mix and price bands cover the same active set; the bed-mix table states its own denominator, because listings without a published bed count are excluded from it rather than guessed.
Santa Monica inventory is identified the same way our search results identify it — by the neighborhood's own municipality where it has one, otherwise by its postal codes — so each listing is counted under one neighborhood only, and none is spread across several. A statistic computed from fewer than 3 listings, or from a field that fewer than 50% of the active set publishes, is omitted rather than published.
Days on market is held to a stricter test than anything else on this page: it is the only figure here we cannot recompute from a listing's own dates, so it is shown only when at least 8 active listings carry a day count above zero AND those listings make up at least 60% of the active for-sale set. A listing whose day count is missing or reads zero is treated as unknown and left out of the median entirely, never counted as a listing that came to market today. Where the test is not met, Santa Monica simply has no days-on-market figure here.
