| Metric | August 2025 | August 2026 | Change |

| Total sold volume | $34,371,800 | $82,794,500 | up 140.9% |
| Median price | $2,049,900 | $2,275,000 | up 11.0% |

Studio City's August came in well ahead of a year ago. Total dollar volume more than doubled, up 140.9 percent to $82,794,500 from $34,371,800, on 30 closed sales versus 14. The median sold price rose 11.0 percent, from $2,049,900 to $2,275,000.
A little context helps here. August 2025 was an unusually quiet month with only 14 sales, so part of that jump reflects a light comparison month rather than a shift in the market itself. Price per square foot is the steadier read on value, and it rose 5.6 percent to $937.50 from $887.74. Homes also took a good deal longer to sell, with average days to sell stretching from 17 to 43.
Month over month: more volume, a longer runway
July 2026 vs August 2026
| Metric | July 2026 | August 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total sold volume | $61,277,000 | $82,794,500 | up 35.1% |
| Median price | $2,330,000 | $2,275,000 | down 2.4% |
| Homes sold | 23 | 30 | up 30.4% |
| Avg days to sell | 27 | 43 | 59.3% slower |
| Price per sq ft | $913.04 | $937.50 | up 2.7% |
| Active listings | 186 | 165 | down 11.3% |
August also built on a strong July. Total volume climbed 35.1 percent to $82,794,500, on 30 closed sales versus 23. The median eased 2.4 percent, from $2,330,000 to $2,275,000, so the gain came from more homes selling rather than higher prices.
Price per square foot is the number to watch here, and it rose 2.7 percent to $937.50 from $913.04, which suggests the small dip in the median has more to do with which homes closed than any change in value. Average days to sell stretched further, from 27 to 43, even as more homes sold. Active inventory came down from 186 to 165 homes, down 11.3 percent, so buyers have a little less to choose from than they did in July.
More sales, firmer prices, and buyers taking their time.
