Seller’s Market Buyers’ Market Stable Market
Less than 6 months inventory More than 6 months inventory  

* The Beverly West does not list all its active condos on the MLS.  The first unit did sell quickly.  However, there are approximately 35 more units for sale.

**The Carlyle sells in house also, so the figures may not be totally accurate.

+Average price per square foot also excludes high-priced penthouse units.

Not included in median price and average price per sq. ft:
++A maid’s unit sold at the Wilshire Comstock for $20,000
+++A torn-apart, one bedroom unit sold for $196,000

The market statistics are a rough indication of whether the building is trending towards a sellers’ or a buyers’ market.  A question mark (?) denotes that there is not enough information available to show the trend.

There is  still not a lot of movement on The Wilshire Corridor,  with new inventory low.  So sellers considering putting your homes on the market  now would be a good time.  There are buyers out there.  There are also people look to rent on the Wilshire Corridor.  Did I mention inventory is low?

Jane - This is an excellent Wilshire Corridor condo market report.  I love the use of red and blue to show whether its a sellers' market or a buyer market.  Great presentation!

Jane:  Great report, once again!  Simply read and digested ... the red and blue colorations DO add some punch to the message.  Glad to see that there is plenty of blue showing up too.  As a side note, as a former appraiser in the Chicagoland area (which obviously has some high-end properties) I just LOVE viewing your cost per square foot details.  It truly IS .. location .. location ... location ...

Amazing!

Gene, of course it is some of the higher end units in the buildings that bring up the average per sq. ft.  It would probably be better to break it down.  Hmmm.  Good thought.

Wow Jane - that chart looks like it would take days to create. It does look like Los Angeles real estate is recovering quickly.
