Brentwood Homes Over $3M Gave Up Most Often
I pulled every lived-in home that sold or gave up in Brentwood, through September 16, 2026, and cut the numbers by what each home first asked. Five price ranges. One question: which range had the hardest time finding a buyer? The answer splits cleanly from top to bottom.
- 1$750K to $1.25M12.6%
- 2$1.25M to $2M13.2%
- 3Under $750K20.5%
- 4$2M to $3M22.2%
- 5$3M and up29.8%
- Nearly 3 in 10 homes priced at $3M and up gave up without selling.
- The $750K to $1.25M range had the lowest share, at 12.6%.
- The tradeoff: the top range takes far longer to sell and gets less of its first asking price.
- If you want the best shot at a sale, the $750K to $1.25M range is where Brentwood buyers show up most reliably.
The $3M and up range lost nearly 3 in 10 homes before they ever sold
29.8% of homes priced at $3M and up came off the market with no sale. That is nearly 3 in 10. No other range came close.
The $2M to $3M range was next, at 22.2%. Then under $750K, at 20.5%. Those two are a real gap above the middle ranges.
The $750K to $1.25M range gave up the fewest, at just 12.6%. The $1.25M to $2M range was close behind at 13.2%. If you are a seller in either of those ranges, the odds of finding a buyer are better than anywhere else in Brentwood.
The common mistake is to look only at price and assume that a higher-priced home means a bigger payday. The give-up rate says something different. At $3M and up, 28 homes never sold at all. 66 did. That means for every two that sold, nearly one gave up.
| $750K to $1.25M | $3M and up | |
|---|---|---|
| Middle sold price | $925,000 | $3,762,500 |
| Middle days to sell | 34 | 104 |
| Got of last asking price | 98.9% | 95.8% |
| Got of first asking price | 97.4% | 93.6% |
The top range takes three times as long to sell and gets less of what it first asked
Homes priced at $3M and up that did sell took a middle of 104 days. The $750K to $1.25M range took 34 days. That is a long time to carry a home, pay the bills on it, and wait.
When the top range did sell, buyers paid 93.6% of what sellers first asked. In the $750K to $1.25M range, buyers paid 97.4%. Sellers in the top range also got 95.8% of their last asking price, compared to 98.9% in the $750K to $1.25M range.
Here is the surprise in the middle. The under $750K range actually gave up more often than both the $750K to $1.25M and $1.25M to $2M ranges, at 20.5%. That is the range most people assume is the easiest sell. It is not. Buyers there are often stretching their budgets, and sellers sometimes ask more than the market will pay.
The $1.25M to $2M range is the quiet overachiever. It gave up just 13.2% of the time, second only to the $750K to $1.25M range. Sellers there got 97% of their last asking price and a middle sold price of $1,500,000.
Which one fits you
- If you want the best chance of finding a buyer, look at the $750K to $1.25M range: only 12.6% gave up.
- If you want a fast sale, look at the $750K to $1.25M range: the middle was 34 days.
- If you want the highest sold price and can wait, look at the $3M and up range: the middle was $3,762,500, but expect 104 days and a give-up rate of nearly 3 in 10.
- If you want a strong price and a reliable sale, look at the $1.25M to $2M range: 13.2% gave up and sellers got 97% of their last asking price.
What sellers and buyers should each do with this
If you are selling, the give-up rate is a direct warning about pricing. Homes that gave up first asked a middle of $1,449,500. Homes that sold first asked a middle of $1,250,000. The gap was $199,500. That is not a small difference. Of the 349 homes for sale in Brentwood right now, 60.7% have already dropped their price, with a typical cut of $107,500. The sellers who priced right from the start did not need to do that.
If you are buying, the $3M and up range gives you more room to negotiate than any other. Sellers there got 93.6% of their first asking price, and 104 days is a long time to wait. Buyers who are patient have real leverage. One thing to watch: the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.95% as of September 17, 2026, up from 6.76% the prior week, according to Freddie Mac. That affects how far a budget stretches, especially at the lower ranges where buyers are already closer to their ceiling.
