LA housing 2025
LA housing 2025 Interest Rates: While significantly lower than historical highs (18%+ in the late 70s/early 80s), current rates (around 6.8%) are higher than the historic lows of 2021 (around 3%), impacting buyer affordability and market activity. Inventory (Supply): Inventory is increasing, currently at 3.46 months (May 2025), up from recent lows but still below pre-pandemic levels. This signifies a shift from the extremely tight seller’s market of 2021-2022 towards a more balanced market, though still technically a seller’s market. Demand: Despite increased inventory, demand remains strong for well-priced homes. Median days on market (18 days in May 2025) are similar to pre-pandemic levels, indicating relatively quick sales for appropriately priced properties. Prices: Median sold prices remain high ($925,000 in May 2025), representing a substantial increase from 2020 ($625,000). While prices haven’t collapsed despite higher interest rates, the increase in monthly payments due to higher interest rates impacts affordability. Sold-to-List Price Ratio: Currently slightly150

The California ADU Boom
California allows backyard apartment building bonuses. San Diego‘s Bonus ADU Program: Allows significantly more ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) per lot than previously permitted, leading to the development of large-scale apartment complexes in single-family home backyards, sometimes exceeding 100 units on a single lot. Program Mechanics: Uses a floor area ratio to determine the maximum buildable area, allowing for multi-story, high-density ADU projects. Minimum ADU size is 150 sq ft, but average size is around 450 sq ft. Affordability Incentive: The program includes an incentive for building deed-restricted affordable ADUs (at 110% of Area Median Income), offering a bonus market-rate ADU for each affordable unit created. Approval Process: A ministerial process, meaning neighbor input and public review are minimal. Projects proceed if they meet established criteria. Parking and Infrastructure Concerns: No parking is required, raising concerns about increased traffic and strain on existing infrastructure (water, sewer). San Diego is not upgrading infrastructure to accommodate the150
