November numbers show a sustained down trend for lofts and condos in and around the Downtown Los Angeles area, including loft neighborhood Lincoln Heights. The number of listings fell slightly, properties took longer to sell, average and median prices dropped and the entire real estate market dollar volume plunged. Here are this year’s November numbers compared to the same month in 2018.
Buyers and sellers are both staying put longer, as the number of listings fell by 2.4%.
Homes are taking longer to sell, 18 days slower on average. While it only took 36 days last year, most home sellers found that their condos took 50 days to sell in November of 2019. Today’s home sellers must usually anticipate taking a couple weeks longer to sell their loft. | VIDEO
Fewer dollars are trading hands. The area saw about $4 million less in total real estate volume in November compared to the same period last year.

Why I Support Children’s Hospital Los Angeles:
I grew up right here in the Los Angeles area. Born at St. Francis Hosptial. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being in the Los Angeles area, a California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rally’s around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
A Brighter Future for Livie
Thanks to a groundbreaking treatment, children who once faced inevitable blindness now have a chance to regain—and retain—their sight.By Eunice Oh
Like many 7-year-olds, Olivia is a burst of energy. She loves riding her bicycle, ice skating, traversing obstacle courses, learning martial arts and blocking shots as her soccer team’s goalie. And she has an infectious giggle that lets you know how much fun she’s having.
You’d never guess she was once nearly legally blind.
Livie, as her family calls her, was diagnosed with a rare inherited eye disease called Leber’s congenital amaurosis (LCA) before her first birthday. The condition affects 2 to 3 out of every 100,000 newborns in the country and is caused by a mutation of the gene responsible for producing a protein necessary for healthy vision. Because the disorder disrupts the retina’s capacity to respond to light, patients are unable to see in the dark or even in soft light. Over time, their eyesight deteriorates completely.
Though Livie hasn’t let LCA slow her down, there have been daily challenges, especially at night. After the sun sets, Livie has been virtually relegated to a world of darkness.
For her parents, Darren and Jeannine, the most daunting part wasn’t just that simple everyday moments became complicated. It was looking ahead to the future and accepting the fact that LCA was degenerative. It was only a matter of time before Livie would go completely blind.
A prayer answered
Last summer, the family vacationed in Germany where they stayed in an old medieval-style castle. When they checked into their room, Livie and her sister pointed to a piece of furniture that looked like a short chair and asked their parents what it was.
The girls’ parents explained it was a prayer kneeler, a special piece of furniture some people use when they pray. A few minutes later, as Darren was unpacking, he noticed Livie was on the kneeler, her hands clasped together.
“She was saying a prayer: ‘Dear Jesus, please let there be something that helps me see,’” Darren recalls tearfully. “It was really painful to hear that.”
The next day, he woke up to an email that would change Livie’s life.
Sight-saving treatment
In December 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a drug now being hailed as a miracle treatment for patients with LCA. Luxturna works by carrying a functioning copy of the necessary gene in liquid form that is injected below the patient’s retina. The medicine essentially replaces the defective gene and triggers retinal cells to begin producing the vital protein. Patients have reported significantly improved vision just days after undergoing surgery.
