Ladera Ranch Market Update: October 2025

A Tale of Two Laderas

Are luxury homes in Covenant Hills a better deal?

Right now, the numbers tell an interesting story: homes outside the gates of Covenant Hills are outperforming the luxury market inside the gates.

Covenant Hills currently has 22 active listings, 2 pending, and 3 sold in the past 30 days—a clear sign of a buyer’s market with roughly 7 months of inventory.

Meanwhile, single-family homes in Ladera Ranch (outside the gates) have 10 active, 13 pending, and 5 sold in the past 30 days, reflecting a strong seller’s market with just 1.5 months of inventory.

What this means for Ladera homeowners

If you live in Covenant Hills, patience and strategy are key. Luxury buyers have options, so pricing, presentation, and negotiation matter more than ever. In some cases, I may even recommend pricing with room to negotiate—a common approach in high-end markets like Beverly Hills and Manhattan.

If you’re outside the gates, you still hold the upper hand. Well-prepared, properly priced homes continue to move quickly and command strong offers.

What this means for Ladera buyers

Inventory remains tight and competition strong for single-family homes outside Covenant Hills. Expect to pay market value—and possibly compete for top listings. But if your budget allows, looking inside the gates could reveal opportunity and value in the luxury market.

Who stands to benefit most?

Homeowners ready to move up. Sell strong where you are, and buy smart in Covenant Hills.

In a Tale of Two Laderas, this might just be the best of times to make your move.
