What the numbers say
- At September's pace, the 62 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 its full asking price or more.
- Homes are selling faster than a year ago: half sold within 8 days, against 20 days in September 2025.
- The median home sold for $885,000, under Los Angeles County's 2026 loan limit of $1,249,125. A loan up to that limit is a standard (conforming) loan.
