What Happened in Guam’s Real Estate Market in 2025?

Let’s start with the big picture.

Across Guam in 2025:

  • Fewer homes and condos sold compared to 2024

  • Rental demand stayed strong and even increased

  • Prices moved modestly, not dramatically

  • Homes took longer to sell, while rentals stayed fast

In short, the market did not stop. It became more selective.

This mattered whether you were a Buyer, Seller, Tenant, or Landlord.

Did Home Sales Slow Down in 2025?

Yes, but context matters.

Single-Family Homes Sold on Guam

In 2025, 287 single-family homes sold on Guam, down from 324 in 2024.

That does not mean Buyers disappeared. What changed was behavior:

  • Buyers were more cautious with interest rates

  • Overpriced homes sat longer

  • Well-priced homes still sold

“Fewer transactions did not mean falling values.”

Condos and Townhomes Sold on Guam

Condo and townhome sales also slowed:

  • 134 units sold in 2025

  • Down from 167 in 2024

Condos felt the slowdown more sharply, especially when pricing did not match Buyer expectations. Some Buyers chose to wait. Others shifted to renting instead.

If you were thinking of selling, pricing and preparation mattered more than ever. This is something we regularly talk through with Sellers considering their timing on Guam. If that is you, this guide may help: Selling a Home on Guam

Why Did Guam’s Rental Market Stay Strong in 2025?

This was one of the clearest takeaways from the year.

Single-Family Home Rentals

  • 972 homes rented in 2025

  • Up from 924 in 2024

Condo and Townhome Rentals

  • 1,402 condos rented

  • Up from 1,340 the year before

Military PCS demand did not slow. Buyers who paused often became Tenants. Limited housing supply kept pressure on the rental side.

“While sales slowed, rentals quietly stayed busy all year.”

This is why many homeowners spent 2025 weighing the rent versus sell decision more carefully. If you are still in that place, our rental overview breaks this down clearly: Renting on Guam

Did Prices Go Up or Down in Guam in 2025?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and the answer is simple.

Home Sale Prices

  • Median single-family home price increased 2.5 percent

  • From $476,950 in 2024 to $489,200 in 2025

Condo and Townhome Sale Prices

  • Median price decreased 1.22 percent

  • From $329,000 to $325,000

Prices did not spike and showed a modest decrease.

“Prices declined modestly. They did not jump. They did not crash.”

Rental Prices

  • Single-family home rents rose 2.02 percent, about $50 per month

  • Condo rents stayed flat year over year

This tells us something important. The market found its balance point.

How Long Did It Take to Sell or Rent in 2025?

Timing tells the real story of Buyer and Tenant behavior.

Days on Market for Home Sales

  • Single-family homes took about 5 months on average

  • Condos and townhomes took about 4 months, a meaningful improvement from 2024

Condos moved faster than they had the year before, which was a quiet but important shift.

Days on Market for Rentals

  • Homes were rented in about 1.9 months

  • Condos were rented in about 1.7 months

“Strategy mattered more than speed in 2025.”

A Short Client Story from 2025

One Seller we worked with in mid-2025 started out optimistic. Their home was priced based on early 2024 expectations. Showings were slow.

After a pricing adjustment and better positioning, the home sold. Not instantly, but successfully.

That same pattern showed up again and again in 2025.
Sellers who adapted still moved forward.

  • The market rewarded realistic expectations

  • Rentals continued to absorb demand

  • Preparation beat predictions

“The market did not disappear. It got pickier.”
