LA WESTSIDE SALES HIGHLIGHTS - DECEMBER 2023

LA WESTSIDE SALES HIGHLIGHTS - DECEMBER 2023

This report will provide a quick overview as to how the Westside micro-markets are currently performing and then compares that data to the same period a year ago. The key market indicators are:

Pending Sales Activity- sometimes referred to as the 'Number of Properties Under Contract'. This is a forward-looking indicator of current sales activity where there has been an accepted offer and escrow has opened.

Median Sales Price - that point at which half of the properties have sold for a greater amount and half have sold for a lesser amount. This indicator pinpoints where in the price spectrum homes have sold rather than reflecting home value. There is a common misperception that a drop in the MSP directly indicates a drop in home value. It is far more likely that the drop indicates either smaller, older and/or homes in lower-priced areas have sold during the period.

Months Supply of Inventory (MSI) - a leading indicator of market supply, which directly impacts pricing. Generally, a five to six month supply indicates market equilibrium while anything less signals a 'seller's market' and anything above a 'buyer's market'.
