The Los Angeles real estate market has been full of surprises over the last few years and 2025 is no different. At The Lowery Group, we’re in neighborhoods like Inglewood, Hawthorne, South LA, and the Beach Cities every day, helping clients navigate the ups, downs, and everything in between. If you’re thinking of buying or selling, here’s what you should know right now:

📉 Slower Activity, But Solid Prices

While the pace of home sales has cooled compared to the pandemic boom, home values in many LA neighborhoods are holding steady. Properties that are priced right and professionally marketed are still attracting strong offers—especially in desirable zip codes.

🏘️ Inventory Is Still Tight

More homes are coming to market, but not enough to meet demand. This low inventory is keeping competition alive in key areas. For sellers, this is good news—buyers are still looking, and the right home will stand out.

💵 Interest Rates Are Impacting Buyer Strategy

Today’s interest rates are higher than they were in recent years, and that’s affecting how buyers shop. However, creative financing options (like rate buydowns and adjustable loans) are helping many buyers stay in the game. If you’re a buyer, getting pre-approved and working with a savvy agent makes all the difference.

⏳ Homes Are Sitting a Little Longer

Gone are the days of instant multiple offers. Homes now spend a bit more time on the market—but that doesn’t mean they won’t sell. Strategic pricing, standout marketing, and proper presentation are key to getting results.

🧭 Bottom Line

Whether you’re buying your first home or preparing to list, the market is still active—but strategy matters more than ever. The real estate landscape in Los Angeles is shifting, but opportunities are out there for those who are informed and prepared.

At The Lowery Group, we’re here to guide you with clarity, confidence, and local expertise. If you have questions or just want to know what your options look like, let’s connect.
