Key takeaways for the month
The Southern California market tends to be volatile and we see that reflected at the start of 2021.
- East LA has grown since the start of 2020. The median sale price for the area steadily increased over the last six months of 2020 and continued that growth with a 3.80% increase from December to January. Year over year, January sale prices are up 7.14% and we expect to see that trend continue. Even if February sees a slowdown, the year-over-year increase will likely remain.
- Across the region, homes are selling more quickly. Days on market for single family homes decreased month over month and year over year, indicating increased competition.
- Select properties in San Gabriel Valley and East LA are competitive. The number of single-family homes listed increased month over month by 57.50% and year over year by 127.71%, but the number pending stayed almost flat with a 4.84% decrease month over month. This indicates that not all homes are getting offers, but the ones that are tend to see multiple offers. East LA sees a similar trend.
