What This Means for Sellers & Buyers
For Sellers:
Pricing matters now more than ever: A well-priced home still sells fast (within 30 days) while overpriced listings may linger beyond 90 days. Expect a moderate timeframe: Be prepared for 4–8 weeks before receiving an offer, and another 5–6 weeks to close.
For Buyers:
Less pressure, but still competition: With more options and less urgency, you can take time to make thoughtful decisions, but still act decisively on homes you love.
Final Takeaway
The Los Angeles housing market has shifted to a balanced state, with neither buyer’s nor seller’s lock. While homes aren’t selling overnight like in 2021, they’re still moving in about a month on market and closing in approximately 3 months total. Proper pricing, marketing, and negotiation will remain key to a smooth, timely sale.
