Westwood Los Angeles Real Estate Market Report - Mid September

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Home Jane Realty BRE# 01439865

This report covers the first two weeks of September.

The Westwood Los Angeles real estate market is chugging along in the under $2 million category.  Three homes and 6 condos sold in that price range. 

Westwood Los Angeles homes under $2 million are doing better than condos in the same.  Average days on the market for single family homes are almost half those for condos.  The single family home months inventory indicates a strong sellers' market while for condos it is still a buyers' market

The luxury market, homes and condos over $2 million remains sluggish.  There have been no sales in the month of September.  Months inventory for single family homes is fairly balanced at 6.66 months, but the high end condo market has a staggering 35 months inventory

Quite frankly, I was surprised to see the DOM numbers relatively low for this area.  Also, the condo numbers are higher than what we see here.  Urbanization is supposed to happen this next day.  Calif has always been a head of the curve... g

Gerry,  no cliff falling here :)

Gordon,  L.A. is urbanization personified.  Hope you are feeling better.

Hmmm... traffic jams on a Sunday summer afternoon going to a Dodgers game...one of my L.A. memories!  I enjoy visiting, but I don't think I'd want to live there!

Jane, I was really surprised to see the data you provided to be this favorable.  Only 6 months inventory is very favorable and the days on market is great!

Debbie,  it is still pretty slow.  I think this inventory is just sellers' hesitation to put their properties on the market.

Jane, it's incredible that for as much valuable information you are providing to your area, this report would be fiction in our area where mean house value in our state, hovers around $275,000.

Jane - as always, a thoughtful look at the positive and negtive in the market. And with a bit of humor mixed in with the comments. BEt the high end condo owners are not laughing - 35 months inventory is ugly. Even our more expensive SD County community is under 2 years for multimillion $ homes.

Jeff,  that 35 mos is primarily the Wilshire Corridor.  Shame, because there are some magnificent units for sale.

Wow, the DOM are really short - shows the value of accurate pricing.  Do you have a foreign buyer pool or local?

Rebecca,  I think that is pretty much the same here.  High end properties are stuck.

Juli,  right now, in the high end, it seems to be more out-of-towners buying.
