REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — How’s the real estate market doing? Are prices up or down? Let’s take a look at how leased property statistics of April of 2021 compare to the same month in 2022. The difference is striking, according to real estate professional multiple listing service statistics for Downtown L.A. and nearby loft neighborhoods MLS areas 23, 42 and 1375. Rent prices are up significantly, while the number of transactions is down notably.
April 2021: 109 units leased, Days On Market Avg/Med 67/52, Price Med/Avg $2,694 / $2,904 Total volume $316,565
April 2022: 69 units leased, Days On Market Avg/Med 47/18, Price Med/Avg $2,800 / $2,994 Total volume $206,592
Stagflation is the name of the game in Downtown LA real estate when it comes to properties for lease. The last 30 days saw dramatic increases in price inflation for rental properties, as compared to the same period last year. Inventory has shrunk also.
These figures may reveal the impotence and backfiring of socialist-style mandates and tyrannical policies such as rent stabilization, virus hysteria and lockdown. The market responded to both with very substantial stagnation in the form of a slow down in transactions, yet with serious inflation realized as a sharp increase in costs to renters in the DTLA area. Clearly, there’s nothing stabilizing about government over-reaction and overreach. Along with gold, commodities, quality stocks and blockchain cryptocurrencies, home ownership continues to be among the best protections against stagflation.
