The month of July finished off with some slightly lackluster statistics, surprisingly not only in the condo/townhouse market but also in the Single Family Residence (SFR) market as well.

I was watching a video the other day in which a journalist stated we could see a “20% decrease in housing year over year.”...

Virtually anyone who’s recently left the city will cite high rent as a factor in their move. The state as a whole benefits from California rent control guidelines. Certain pockets of the city even enjoy stricter Los Angeles rent control laws. But in all of these cases,...
