The median home price in 90815 sat at $650,000 last month, showing a slight decline after a fairly steady spring and early summer. The price value peaked at $720,000 in February 2016, but in comparison to the same time last year, August’s values showed a 6.1% growth. Despite the occasional drop, property in this area continues to appreciate in value.

The number of new listings available in 90815 experienced a dip in August, going from 43 in July to 35. Typically from November to December, we see a very substantial drop in new listings, and current new listings are already lower than the year before.

Inventory as a whole is very low in 90815, and even with a late summer of inventory growth, the supply is still only 1.7 months worth. This puts housing firmly in a seller’s market, although a slight increase in inventory means that would-be buyers have a few more options.

Condominiums in 90815
