And just like that, it’s January. The holidays are behind us, calendars are a little lighter, and there’s a quiet reset in the air. It’s a good time to get organized, set a few intentions, and ease into the year without rushing it. Cooler days and calm nights make it easier to slow down and focus on what’s ahead.
Hope you’re settling into the new year feeling refreshed and ready for whatever comes next.
Cheers,
Andy

This week, the median list price for homes in Los Angeles is $1,449,000. Prices have been holding steady for several weeks, showing that the market is currently at a plateau.
A key metric to watch is the Market Action Index (MAI), which measures the balance between buyer demand and the number of homes for sale. The MAI is 35, slightly higher than last month’s 34, signaling a small increase in buyer activity.
Inventory is down to 1,559 homes, which is low enough to keep the market in Seller’s Market territory. This means demand is still stronger than supply, even if prices aren’t moving much right now.
What this means for you:
Sellers: Low inventory and steady demand make it a good time to list, but watch the MAI—if buyer activity continues to rise, prices could start climbing again.
Buyers: Prices are stable, giving a window of opportunity. Acting sooner rather than later could help you lock in a home before the market heats up.
The market may seem paused, but the MAI is a helpful indicator to track how long this trend might last.
