Let’s take a look at how the Brentwood Los Angeles real estate market did in 2011.

I have split the 2011 Brentwood real estate market report into four sections, single family by price breakdown and condos.  I have also shown relevant percentage comparisons with the 2010 statistics.

What is Market Absorption?

Market absorption trends show the rate that properties are selling compared with inventory which enables us to see if it is a sellers’ or buyers’ market.

6 months worth of inventory is a balanced market.  Under 6 months is a sellers’ market, and anything over 6 months is a buyers’ market.

So how did Brentwood do?

The under $2M single family housing market in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles is fairly steady and reflects a sellers’ market.  The median price inched up over the same period in 2010.

Brentwood homes for sale from $2 to $5M still remain in a sellers’ market primarily because inventory remains fairly low.  The median price has dropped almost 30% over the same period in 2010
.

The Brentwood Los Angeles luxury housing market saw a huge drop in both sales and median price, especially over the last three months when compared to the same period last year.  With 17 homes on the market and only one sale in 3 months, buyers should be out in force in Brentwood.

The Brentwood condo market is definitely a sellers’ market and doing well.  The median price is down somewhat over the same last 3-month period last year but overall, Brentwood condo sellers should consider putting their homes on the market.

Let's see how the Brentwood real estate market is doing. There are actually two Brentwoods in California.  I of course am referring to the community in Los Angeles.

I always struggle with what information to include in these reports.

Average price vs. median price:  Average prices can affect what is really going on if there is one extremely high-priced sale.  So I use the median price.

Average days on the market:  One house staying on the market for a long time, possibly because it is overpriced, can also skew the equation.  However, the MLS only provides average days on the market as stats.

Price per square foot: this really is somewhat meaningless in the Los Angeles real estate market since there are so many variables that can affect this figure.

Probably the most important part of these reports is the absorption rate - how much inventory their is compared with the number of homes sold.  Six months worth of inventory is a balanced market.  Anything below that is a sellers' market,and above, a buyers'market.

So let's see how the Brentwood real estate market is doing based on sales over the past year.

Brentwood single family homes:  Brentwood single family homes are teetering on the edge of a buyers' market, but with 34 pending sales this could swing it over into a sellers' market.  We will have to see.  The median prices is down somewhat, days on the market steady and sales price vs list price quite healthy.

Brentwood condo market:  the  condo market is fairly balanced.  The absorption rate is under 6 months with the exception of the last month's figures, but there are 30 pending sales which is a pretty healthy number and should bring the inventory way down. The median price is down a little and the price sold vs price listed, but not by much.  Days on the market are down.

So overall, Brentwood is going along nicely.
