The agents on this list just delivered a better quarter than anyone would have the right to hope for in the current market. Sure, changes in the real estate landscape are nothing new to our seasoned agents. But even acknowledging this, we’ve stepped into a new market, one unlike anything we’ve seen before. The world […]
I’m a firm believer that politics has no place in our role as service providers to our community. But when political changes impact our industry, we as professionals can’t simply ignore them. This isn’t a political opinion, nor an attempt to sway political perspectives. It’s a call to do what’s needed to best serve our […]
It almost feels like March is an apology to the prospective homebuyers of the Greater Los Angeles area for February’s unanimous surge into the seller’s market. It was mostly a kinder month for the buyers, showing drops closer to the buyer’s market in all except four of these communities. And two of those just treaded […]

And while we’re still assessing the full loss, the absence of several iconic structures and notable properties was quickly apparent. Obviously, there’s no comparing the loss of property, no matter how legendary, to the loss of […]
We’ve never seen a month like January 2025 in the history of publishing our absorption rates. And with so many monumental factors at play, it’s tough to pin these results on one thing. New presidential administration? Citywide fires? The Grind to Greatness Realtor Race? In short, we expected a drop in absorption rates in January. […]
It seems there isn’t a second that passes in the Coachella Valley when Mid-Century designs aren’t celebrated in some way. Yet, Palm Springs still devotes a “week” to Mid-Century Modern styles. That “week” lasts 10 days this year, but it still doesn’t seem like enough time to pack in every event, tour, lecture, and party. […]
