What This Means For You

๐Ÿ Sellers

Conditions strongly favor sellers right now, as homes are closing an average of $355,000 above the median list price. With only 26 days on market on average, well-priced listings are moving quickly and generating competitive interest.

๐Ÿ”‘Buyers

Buyers should be prepared to offer above asking price, as the data shows the median sale price of $4,250,000 exceeds the median list price of $3,895,000 by a significant margin. Acting decisively matters here since inventory of 128 active listings is limited and homes are not sitting long at 26 median days on market.

๐Ÿ“ˆInvestors

The rent-to-price ratio in 90266 is quite compressed, with a median rent of $4,800 against a median sale price of $4,250,000, making traditional cash flow investing very challenging in this market. Investors targeting larger units may find more relative income potential, as 4-bedroom rentals are reaching $9,499 per month and 5-bedroom units are hitting $9,950 per month.

๐ŸฆRates

The current 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 6.3% adds substantial carrying costs on a $4,250,000 purchase, making financing strategy a critical part of any buying decision. Buyers who qualify for a 15-year mortgage at 5.64% can save meaningfully on interest over the life of the loan, though the higher monthly payments on a luxury-priced asset require strong financial planning.
