In the year of 2024, the Real Estate market in Downtown Los Angeles continued to navigate through fluctuating economic conditions, including stabilizing interest rates and a cautious approach from both buyers and sellers. Sales velocity remained subdued, with the average days on the market for properties reflecting a market that is still recalibrating from recent years. Compared to 2023, total sales in Downtown LA saw a slight contraction, reinforcing a trend of tempered activity within the sector. THE LOFTWAY A detailed analysis of the 39 buildings included in this report reveals that only 9 buildings experienced an increase in price per square foot, while the majority saw either stagnation or declines, some in the double-digit range. Concerto, Bartlett, and 655 Hope were among the strongest performers, registering the highest percentage increases in value. However, other buildings, such as Biscuit Lofts and El Dorado Lofts, experienced notable price reductions, illustrating the uneven nature of the market recovery. REPORT The seller’s market has continued to exhibit caution, with many owners reluctant to list properties unless absolutely necessary. This hesitancy has contributed to a decrease in available inventory and, in some cases, prolonged transaction timelines. Downtown LA's ongoing challenges with underutilized office spaces persist, as remote and hybrid work models remain prevalent. The shift in workplace dynamics has directly impacted demand for residential units in the area, as fewer professionals see a necessity to reside in close proximity to the office districts. On the leasing front, the dynamics have been slightly more favorable. While lease prices have seen some fluctuations, they have generally been more resilient compared to sale prices. The uptick in leasing activity suggests that more property owners are opting to rent out their units instead of selling, in anticipation of more favorable market conditions in the coming years. Notably, Ritz Residences emerged as the most expensive building for lease, commanding the highest price per square foot in 2024. A significant market development this year is the absence of major new projects coming to completion, with some developments facing delays or reconsiderations due to market conditions. This has led to speculation that certain projects initially planned for sale may pivot towards leasing models to accommodate shifting demand patterns. This report serves as a critical resource for buyers, sellers, and investors looking to navigate the Downtown Los Angeles Condo & Loft market. By providing a comprehensive overview of current trends and key market movements, it remains an indispensable tool for making informed real estate decisions in this evolving landscape. christiano SAMPAIO 213.254.5638 | chris@loftway.com | agent lic. #01412928 Please give us a call to make sense of this report and see how it can affect you or if you would like to sell or lease your LOFT.
