Real Estate Market Report of Homes and Condos in Los Angeles

2. WHAT IS A MARKET WITHIN A MARKET?
Just as the weather is different from Los Feliz to Santa Monica so is the Real Estate climate. While it
may be cloudy & overcast in Marina del Rey, at the same exact time, it may be warm & sunny in
the Mid Wilshire area. The Real Estate market works the same way. Year-to-year there may be a
significant sales increase in Venice while at the same time there is an alarming drop in sales price
from the Palms – Mar Vista area even though they are literally blocks from one another.
With our vast years of experience, we have come to notice that like the need for a sweater by the
beach and a T-shirt in the Valley, every market within a market has a very different climate and
therefore requires its own set of statistics for you to truly understand what is going on in your
neighborhood. Although you can access the broad national or country trends published by the
media, they may not have anything to do with what is occurring in your own backyard. After
all, you wouldn’t watch a weather channel report for Los Angeles to decide if you need an
umbrella that day would you?
3. WHY THIS BENEFITS YOU – OUR CLIENT
Our extensive experience & knowledge has led us to notice that markets within
markets may be performing in a different way from one another and from national
averages.
With the current stringent lending situation, having knowledge of the specialized
market trends for the neighborhood you are contemplating is vital for true success in
your transaction.
Don’t be mislead by ideas that are not actual facts.
What is in fact occurring in the markets of those areas may be counterintuitive of
notions or ideas you may have perceived from national averages. Knowledge is
power and knowing all the facts will give you the power to make the most educated
choice.
