In just a few very short years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has infiltrated virtually every sector of business across the world. Real estate is not exempt. However, real estate agents concerned about being replaced by an AI agent shouldn’t be losing any sleep. If anything, the growing use of AI in real estate will make their […]
It seems that in the Greater Los Angeles area’s absorption rate stats, what goes down must come up. January’s month of down-the-line decreases in absorption rates were countered in February with increases across the board. We had a similar surge in every neighborhood in March 2023. So, while it’s rare, it happens. And it was […]

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.

Legendary actor and crooner Bing Crosby recognized the value of a well-timed Christmas tune… or ten. When the holidays rolled around, so did Crosby’s latest carol… or maybe a golden oldie. It […]
It almost seems insulting at this point to call 2024 a challenging year for the real estate industry. With all of the obstacles real estate professionals needed to worry about outside of their transactions, waking up each morning and grinding onward felt more like trying to administer aid on an active battlefield. We got into […]

A December surge toward the seller’s favor is a holiday tradition in its own right when it comes to our monthly absorption rate analysis. It’s just how the “off-season” works in real estate.
