Real Estate and Design Trends to Watch in 2024

I am pleased to observe the housing industry's adaptation to the present circumstances. We couldn't continue housing and constructing in the traditional manner; certain changes are necessary.

Absorption Rate Analysis: April 2024

April 2024 brings more of that same energy we saw in March as the industry shakes off the accumulated frost of the holiday hibernation. A lot of our communities continued to climb further into the seller’s market, though with less severity. One neighborhood really ingratiated itself to sellers with a double-digit surge.

Absorption Rate Analysis – February 2025

It seems that in the Greater Los Angeles area’s absorption rate stats, what goes down must come up. January’s month of down-the-line decreases in absorption rates were countered in February with increases across the board. We had a similar surge in every neighborhood in March 2023.
