Falling Little Tokyo Lofts Prices – What Creates Financial Winners and Losers

Little Tokyo Lofts condo building stagnates

Like many other loft condominium buildings that are today surrounded by homeless and violent mentally ill in Downtown Los Angeles, Little Tokyo Lofts for sale listings have been suffering a recent 91.66% failure rate. Only one out of twelve listings sold successfully.  This suggests a substantial risk that neighborhood prices may be lower next year.  A list of recent sale and lease listings are available here. | PDF

In early 2019, we reminded Downtown loft investors, in our blog post, to consider selling their unneeded loft condos, and using the proceeds to buy bitcoin.  Those who held on to their properties lost more than $40,000 of equity on average.  Those who sold and kept in cash lost 6% due to “transitory” inflation, which is really the beginning of stagflation — runaway inflation plus economic stagnation caused by virus hysteria, massive overreaction and socialist-style government interference.  Those who acted on our bold suggestion found that $300,000 in average equity jumped to $5 million since, more than a 1,600% gain.

Live/Work Lofts: Making Them Work-From-Home Ready

Live/Work Lofts offer work from home function in their open floor plans

During the pandemic of virus hysteria, and likely well afterward, many people will work from home. This adds to the value and the true brilliance of the Live – Work Loft. Putting the work into live-work will take some thoughtful planning. Here’s what you need to do so that your home workspace will support your work — and won’t wreck your body — over the long term. The space itself needn’t suffer. When work does return to an office or studio away from your home, that space can be recouped as regular living space somewhere down the road.

Many people have set up makeshift home offices that won’t work well in the long term. In addition to having the right equipment, the physical setup — the ergonomics of the workspace — is critical, especially around avoiding repetitive strain injuries that a bad setup can cause.

This tendency is clear that the work part of your loft will revert to live space is most pronounced in new construction condominiums or “lifestyle lofts.” Because the space is intended to be a flexible type, it is fair to say that work will occur in a live-work unit at some time, but that work activity may not always be present.
