June 2022 DaSilva Market Report

June 2022 DaSilva Market Report

When the news talks about the real estate market, they usually don’t feature our communities in Los Angeles.

We did the work for you.

Did prices peak early this year?
Have interest rates had an effect on the Summer market?  
Interest rates seem to have buyers bouncing back and forth on whether to buy,
and it’s causing prices to bounce with it. 
In our last market update of the first half of 2022, we are giving you a full update
of the Westside and South Bay.

Inventory is down both on the Westside and in the South Bay. At the same time,
prices appear to be flat from last month to this month. With interest rates rising
and prices already at record highs, a lot of people getting priced out of the
market. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but we expect things to turn around as buyers
and sellers get used to the New Normal.

West Hawthorne’s average sales price is slightly down month over month, while
inventory is also down by 10%. If you purchased in Hawthorne this time last year,
you’ll notice that your home’s value went up by about 15% . Factor in the higher
interest rates now, and you can see why buyers are thinking longer and harder
about their next purchase.

West LA’s average sales price is down by 4% month over month, but it is still up
5% from last year. This is interesting because inventory is down 43% from last
month. Usually, fewer homes means more demand. Not in this market.

Mar Vista average sales price is barely up 1% month over month. That’s pretty
much flat. Inventory is down 13% from last month. Like we mentioned, this trend
is happening everywhere along the coast. If you bought this time last year, you
will have noticed that your home went up in value by about 33%.  At least there’s
some comfort there.

market for the South Bay.
