The most significant of these was the decrease in the number of sold listings and the drop in the high price. Additionally, the average DOM increased, indicating that properties took longer to sell in March 2023. Prices saw both increases and decreases, with the low and median prices rising and the high price declining. The numbers are based on real estate agent Multiple Listing Service statistics for Downtown Los Angeles and nearby loft neighborhoods MLS areas 23, 42 and 1375.
These varying numbers are consistent with previous Loft Blog projections of stagflation, which is continued consumer price inflation combined with economic stagnation. The median price increased slightly, while the average price dropped more substantially. The numbers reinforce the notion of bifurcation in the market, where the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. Overall, the market is affected by rising interest rates, which slow the overall real estate market nationwide.
