Absorption Rate Analysis: June 2023 Sees 5 Record Highs

While June’s absorption rate statistics favored surges further into the seller’s market (no shock there), we saw a bit more balance than May’s brutal surge-fest. For one, June’s most aggressive climb was nine percentage points; a far cry from the vicious 15% lunge we saw in Upland in May. Also, while we only witnessed two […]

Absorption Rate Analysis: May 2023 – Surprise! More Seller’s Favor Surges

We hope you enjoyed last month’s drops (in all but two of our neighborhoods, anyway) closer to buyer’s territory. Because a good amount of those same neighborhoods are snapping right back up like a bungee cord, rocketing us even further into the seller’s favor.

But our agents have learned to ride those bucks and dips without spilling a drop of […]

Absorption Rate Analysis: January 2023 – Is the Los Angeles Housing Market Making Big Shifts or Treading Water?

At first glance, January seems like it was a big month for the Los Angeles housing market… at least in some neighborhoods. The absorption rate had massive drops toward a buyer’s market in Encino and Northridge. That’s not to detract from decent bumps further into seller’s market territory in Burbank and Palmdale. But while these […]
