We’ve seen the summer favor buyers before, but not quite like in June this year. The last time we even got close to a near-universal absorption rate drop like we saw last month was in July 2023. Back then, 10 of our 12 neighborhoods dropped closer to the buyer’s favor. But in June 2024, only […]

Absorption Rate Analysis: April 2024 – More Houses for Sale in Los Angeles But the Surprises End There
April 2024 brings more of that same energy we saw in March as the industry shakes off the accumulated frost of the holiday hibernation. A lot of our communities continued to climb further into the seller’s market, though with less severity. One neighborhood really ingratiated itself to sellers with a double-digit surge. But it was […]

Absorption Rate Analysis: March 2024 – The Market’s Warming Up Further for Sellers
Now these are some numbers that look familiar. The housing market has spent a couple of months in the wake of the holidays stretching out of hibernation. But March’s nearly straight run of surges brings us back to very familiar territory. Maybe painfully familiar for buyers. It was a month that saw neighborhoods surging further […]
Will a Las Vegas Firm’s AI Agent Change the Way We Use Real Estate Agencies?
As technology-based as our industry can be, it’s no wonder we found a way to hop on the artificial intelligence craze. But could AI feasibly replace flesh-and-blood real estate agents? It’s a question you may want to pose to Luxora. That’s the name Las Vegas’s Luxury Realty Group gave one of its newest recruits: a […]
Absorption Rate Analysis – February 2024: Not the Expected Slingshot Into Seller’s Territory
February’s come and gone and we have to say it wasn’t quite the expected mad dash deeper into seller’s territory. Typically, when we see a nearly unanimous drop toward the buyer’s favor like what we witnessed in January, it’s just the beginning of the slingshot being pulled back. The next month is almost always a […]
Oceanwide Plaza is Art Imitating Life in LA, Like It or Not
It’s one thing to get facetime on The Grammys. But when you get a shoutout on Foos Gone Wild? That’s when you know you’ve made it in LA. Such is the riches-to-rags-to-tags tale of Oceanwide Plaza, a stagnant development that has been unofficially reclaimed by LA’s art community. Once a trio of towers on their […]
Absorption Rate Analysis: January 2024 Brings a Late Holiday Gift for Buyers
We’ve come to expect lower absorption rates in January, but January 2024 more than understood the assignment. All except one neighborhood dropped further into the buyer’s favor. One dropped further toward the buyer’s favor than we’ve ever seen in a single month. Another has officially camped out at the threshold of the universally accepted buyer’s […]
