Lately | ADU's Are Reshaping The LA Rental Market
A new Realtor.com report shows relief for LA renters, with the median asking rent in LA County down 3.6% from last year to $2,554. The biggest drops are in smaller units, where rents for studios through two-bedrooms fell 3.8%. The report points to new supply as the driver, including a growing wave of newly completed ADUs. USC’s recent research backs that up: ADUs made up about 37% of new housing in LA County in 2025, a record. For homeowners, that’s a reminder of how much demand there is for flexible, smaller spaces. I’m happy to talk through what an ADU could mean for your property.
