Happy Fall & Welcome October! It is officially fall - arguably the best time of the year? I believe September and October are the best months in Los Angeles. While Los Angeles is renowned for its perpetual summer-like climate and stunning beaches, there's also cause for excitement when the autumn season arrives. With pumpkin patches and a multitude of Halloween events, there are numerous fall activities to enjoy that will help you embrace the changing season without pining for warmer days; it's also a remarkable time for real estate opportunities. In this season of change, we're excited to bring you the latest updates, market insights, and a handpicked selection of properties that exemplify the unique beauty and potential of Los Angeles in the fall.
2023 National/Regional REAL ESTATE REPORT From buyers and sellers to agents and lenders, the real estate market has had its share of ups and downs over this past year.

We wanted to take a moment to bring up the ULA & GS measures that passed late last year in Los Angeles and Santa Monica respectively. These two “Mansion Taxes” will increase transfer taxes on high-value properties. The reason we wanted to discuss this topic because we have been consistently hearing throughout the real estate industry that many people do not know much about these new tax measures or when they are set to take effect. 03/01/2023, the GS measure will go into effect in Santa Monica 04/01/2023, the ULA measure will go into effect in Los Angeles The Real Deal recently posted a video on their instagram that provides a great summary of what the ULA and GS measures exactly mean and how much more money seller's are responsible to pay regardless if the seller is taking a loss on the property.
2023 is here! A new year always brings about an exciting energy and a feeling of a fresh start along with it. This is a topic that we have had many discussions about within our team during our end of year review and planning meetings for the new year. We have decided to double down on what has been one of our most successful attributes. That is…………providing opportunities for education! In reviewing our past methods combined with what is the most engaging, we have learned that video content that is ‘snackable’ and relevant is the best course for us moving forward. That being said, this is a wee bit of a daunting proposition as I am not one who loves being in front of the camera. However, with the support of my team I believe that it will be a fun and fulfilling foray into a new way to give back to the real estate community. We hope to speak to those who are looking to learn and understand the complexities of what the real estate market truly entails. Below is a link to our YouTube channel, as well as our other social media accounts. We would greatly appreciate it if you follow, subscribe, like, and comment! There are already some great short videos on a range of topics. We will be posting more every month! We look forward to hearing your feedback and encourage you to reach out with any topics or content you would like to see moving forward!
