Lately | Why Mid-October Could be the Best Time to Buy in Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, Realtor.com projects that the week of October 12-18, 2025 will be one of the best windows of the year for buyers to make a move. During this period, inventory is expected to peak, giving buyers more options across neighborhoods, while competition typically eases compared to the busier spring and summer months. Homes also tend to sit on the market longer, opening the door for price reductions and more room to negotiate. On average, prices during this week run a few percent below the year’s highs, which could translate to meaningful savings in a market like LA. While every pocket of the city behaves differently, mid-October is shaping up to be one of the most buyer-friendly moments in an otherwise competitive housing landscape.
