What the numbers say
- At September's pace, the 56 homes for sale would sell in about 2.1 months. That favors sellers: there are more buyers than homes. Good homes get offers fast, so buyers do best with a pre-approval in hand before they tour.
- The middle home sold for about 1% under its last asking price.
- Homes are selling slower than a year ago: half sold within 22 days, against 19 days in September 2025.
- A condo or townhome sold for a median of $658,000, about 31% less than a house at $959,000.
- The median house sold for $959,000, under Los Angeles County's 2026 loan limit of $1,249,125. A loan up to that limit is a standard (conforming) loan.
