LA County median prices have gained 4.3% YTD through April 2026 — disciplined growth driven by constrained coastal inventory, not speculative demand. Luxury pricing remains selectively resilient.
The 30-year rate declined from 7.05% in January 2025 to 6.68% in April 2026. Gradual relief has re-engaged move-up buyers, particularly in the $2M–$5M segment, without triggering runaway demand.
Active luxury listings rose 12% year-over-year — a healthy normalization. Well-priced, well-presented properties still attract multiple offers. Overpriced listings are sitting, creating negotiation leverage for buyers.
