DTLA Feels Full Force of Stagflation as World Economy Sentiment Drops

Up and Down! Average and better L.A. urban home prices increased while the bottom of the barrel decreased. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The home price increases occurred even while the Downtown Los Angeles housing market slowed. The number of sellers increased, as the number of buyers decreased.
