Monthly inventory update

11/30 - The usual end-of-year decline is apparent on the Westside, but only slightly in Mar Vista and hasn't turned down at all for Los Angeles County.

SM inventory <$3M is down 4% for the week and down 16% for the month; PP <$2M is down 12% for the week and down 21% for the month; MV is down 5% for the week but only down 2% for the month. Total Westside inventory is down 7.6% to 1,600.

11/23 - SM <$3M is down 10%, PP <$2M is down 19%, and MV is down 5%, largely from last weekend. Looks like they've all passed mid-November inventory peaks for the year. SM peaked in October last year.

11/16 - SM <$3M is down 6%, but PP <$2M is up 7% and MV is up 8%.

No longer active in SM includes 1108 Maple (Looking for Backup), 2317 California (gone), 1621 Ashland (gone), 716 Marine (Looking for Backup), 2516 Cloverfield (gone), 202 14th (Looking for Backup), and 506 Palisades (gone). Wonder what level of price reductions were in the old listings that finally sold?

Some are still selling fast: A new 11/8-listed 3 bed / 3.5 bath at 502 18th for $2,599K is already Looking for Backup, as is the 10/30-listed 6 bed / 4.5 bath at 425 23rd for $4.5M.

11/9 - Continuing last month's rising trend, SM inventory <$3M and PP <$2M are both up 3% for the week, and MV is flat for the week, all from a surge of new listings this week. Our lot-value 704 15th is back on the market, still asking $1.99M. And there were more price reductions.
