The LA County median list price just dropped to $950,000, down 4.9% year over year - and inventory is still climbing.
- 28,235 active listings (up 5.3% year over year)
- 47 days on market - the slowest pace in years
- $626 per square foot, down 3.99% year over year
- Malibu: $5.85M / Beverly Hills: $6.28M / Long Beach: $730K / Pasadena: $1.16M
What this means in plain English:
- Buyers: More homes to choose from, more time to negotiate, less pressure to waive contingencies.
- Sellers: Pricing right on day one matters more than ever. Aspirational pricing is the fastest way to add 30+ days on market.
- Owners: The neighborhood spread is what makes LA, LA - an eight-figure swing between zip codes inside the same county.
