Downtown Los Angeles Real Estate Market Report September 2021

With fewer buyers, most Downtown Los Angeles home sellers must expect a lengthy wait.

Residential Property Prices Update

Urban L.A. home values rebound, even as they take longer to sell. Motivated home buyers get more scarce in an economy affected by fear masked by Monopoly money. Radical monetary policy and helicopter bucks have artificially propped up housing prices amid nationwide de-urbanization. While many are still fleeing the violent crime, chaos and perceived virulence of the inner cities, the plummeting U.S. dollar now inflates the price of nearly all assets. Last month marked a turning point for the median Downtown L.A. loft condo price, which is now looking up.

Cool, hip Arts District loft prices rise as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Number of properties for sale up 23% as de-urbanization continues in favor of cleaner, safer neighborhoods. Runaway inflation has, however, miraculously cured the falling prices. While most Downtown condo prices are rising again, some loft prices nearest to Skid Row are still sagging. Today, fed-excreted funny money props up real estate prices, even for neighborhoods that would otherwise be dwindling due to virus panic, homeless encampment chaos and increasing bifurcation of markets into richer and poorer.

What took 48 days to sell in September 2020 now sits a scary 73 days on the market in September 2021. Lofts are up $16,000 this year due to a devaluing dollar. Downtown LA median price September 2021 of $615,000 sold in 2020 for $599,000.

Because real estate is a slow game, most DTLA home sellers are unlikely to realize much of a turn-around for another six months. For the gritty hoods, substantial price increases may not be seen for years.  At Little Tokyo Lofts, only one 1 out of 12 listed units has sold successfully in the last 6 months. The lowest price loft in Downtown Los Angeles, unit# 631, asking price has been reduced to just $355,000. Once you get over potential frights around the corner, this loft condo unit and building are of notably high quality.

Originally known as the Singer Sewing Building, now under construction and nearing completion, six impressively unique units have windows at least in both the front and the back, some have windows on all four sides, which allows for superior light and air circulation.

To define the connection with the outside, glass walls have been designed that open onto the patios and balconies, creating distinct outdoor spaces for dining and relaxation.

The Singer Building – also known as The Singer Sewing Building – is a historic, 8-story, Beaux Arts structure on Broadway. It is currently being renovated as live/work lofts on the seven upper floors with ground-floor retail. All units feature operable floor-to-ceiling folding windows that open onto new patios. The penthouse unit features a double-height sloped ceiling retained from the original auditorium.

The original edifice was designed and built in 1922 by Meyer and Holler’s Milwaukee Bradley Building Company, best known as the designers of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. The Singer was long occupied by the Southern California Music Company, which used the building as sales space and hosted concerts in an auditorium located on the building’s top floor.

Architecture firm Omgivning is restoring the building’s front facade to its original look, with some modern touches, in accordance with the Broadway Design Guidelines.

The Singer Building’s ground-floor has been renovated to look to sparkling new, now ready for occupancy.
