find-out-soldFor helping buyers, sellers, renters and landlords in Downtown Los Angeles, 2016 was a remarkable year. It brought the best December ever in my DTLA real estate career, and foretells of a very bright 2017 for Downtown Los Angeles. It has been so very fortunate to work with such powerfully bright and earnestly thoughtful people. Thank you to my amazing clients of 2016: Adam, Jeff, Joan, Derick, Jamica, Jim, Julie, Marie-Elizabeth, Nicole, Sandy, Jennifer, John, Alex, Ed, Lee, Lauren, Chris, Elizabeth, Jim, Julie, Noush, Terry and Monica.

Downtown buyer review:  Corey was very helpful in understanding the DTLA loft inventory and comps. As a local, he knows a lot about this area. Communication was fast and clear, no issues with reply time. He was on time for meetings and there were no issues or delays in person.  —  JB

REAL ESTATE NEWS AND MARKET REPORT:  At the end of 2015, there were many DTLA lofts listed in the $300,000s. In 2017, there will be almost none.  Next year, the starter home lofts will begin in the $400,000s, except for a few tiny studio-size condos.  Today, Downtown has many opportunities for those who are looking for a bargain price.  Some of those bargains include the distressed lofts at the Higgins Building, the awesome historic Mills Act lofts in the clean, pretty area between the Historic Core and Civic Center neighborhoods. Active, motivated buyers are taking advantage and getting a steal this season while some potential buyers are either scared from the election or dormant for the winter holiday season. Meanwhile, massive expansion of Downtown infrastructure and huge influx of residents continues to place strong upward price pressure.  Investment gurus Jim Cramer and others have stated their analysis that prices and interest rates are likely to rise in 2017 and the coming years. The Wall Street Journal has also just weighed in with its forecast of rising prices.

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.  —  Warren Buffett

The greedy are still raking in the dough in DTLA. Prospective Downtowners and investors can today take advantage of several issues that are temporarily depressing prices. There have recently and currently been a cluster of minor economic panics in Downtown LA.  Some sellers have reduced their asking prices of lofts in the Higgins Building due to a new assessment.  The prices were reduced some time ago, and some home sellers are giving money to buyers, so buyers are today getting Higgins lofts for up to $50,000 less than they would otherwise cost.  The same holds true for units at Evo, Luma and Elleven buildings, as some buyers and sellers are afraid of the HOA lawsuit against the developer, combined with huge new condos being built nearby.  These also allow buyers to pick up one of these soft lofts for easily $50,000 below what the prices will be once the dust settles.
