Los Angeles Architecture 101: Streamline Moderne

November 30, 2023  Seth Styles The speed of architecture may not be exactly white knuckle. Especially from our point of view in modern Los Angeles where construction for even a modest building can take ages. But an offshoot of Art Deco, Streamline Moderne, was all about architecture in motion. Streamline Moderne architecture pared down Art Deco’s decadence with a more efficie...

December 4, 2023  Seth Styles and Harout Keuroghlian Last month, we talked about the calm before the storm.

Absorption Rate Analysis: December 2023

As our absorption rate analysis blogs have likely emphasized by now, statistics are often at the whim of interpretation. These numbers are concrete: they tell us something that actually happened. A certain number of homes were sold in a given area. A certain number of homes were on the market in that same area. Anything beyond that is an assigned meaning that we’ve come to through a mixtu...

Absorption Rate Analysis: Brings a Late Holiday Gift for Buyers

February 5, 2024 We’ve come to expect lower absorption rates in January, but January 2024 more than understood the assignment. All except one neighborhood dropped further into the buyer’s favor.

Absorption Rate Analysis

February’s come and gone and we have to say it wasn’t quite the expected mad dash deeper into seller’s territory.

The Jacaranda Trees Are About to Bloom Again!

It’s almost that time again. A point when the city itself seems to blossom in a violet-blue phantasmagoria of botanical beauty. A spectacle as aggressive in its vibrance as it is delicate in its serendipitous sensibility. Just as a watercolor bleeds beyond the audacity of a penciled boundary, the languidly waving blossoms seem to blend together in a natural majesty at once gentle and over...
