Numbers don’t lie. We wish we could say the same for headlines. In our quest for transparency, we’re going to be bringing you monthly updates on the health of the real estate market with our series Absorption Rate Analysis. We hear a lot about “fewer homes hitting the market”, but this hasn’t been our personal experience. We still see a very healthy market in the neighborhoods we service. And though we’ve been telling you this for months, we’ll let the stats speak for themselves. 

In Los Alamitos Zip Code 90720 there are 9 active and 1 home sold in October with an average 9 days on the market, at a medium selling price $899,900.  That's an absorption rate of 9%. Anything over 20% means a healthy market.
