We’re currently seeing a transition from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market, and the reason for this shift is that there has been an increase in inventory.

In the Pacific Palisades last September, there were approximately 62 homes on the market; currently, we have a little under 100 homes on the market.

In addition to there being more homes available, we’re also seeing fewer homes actually selling. There has been a 50% drop in the number of homes that are closing escrow.

Prices are also beginning to flatten out a little bit. The upper end of the luxury market has definitely been a lot softer than any other segment of the market. As a reminder, the upper end is defined as the top 10% or 20% of the price range in any market.

That said, properties in Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Santa Monica, or Malibu (all upper-end markets) tend to remain on the market for a lot longer, and we’re also noticing more price reductions in those markets.

Conversely, the entry-level market—or the bottom 10% to 20% of the market—is still fairly active right now, and that’s true of Westwood, Culver City, Santa Monica, Palisades, Brentwood, and the surrounding neighborhoods.
