Yes. Sales rose from 34 buildings in 2024 to 56 in 2025, while average price per unit held between $418,748 and $444,148 from 2023 to 2025.
Is my West LA building rent controlled?
West LA is in the City of LA, so buildings built on or before October 1, 1978 generally fall under the RSO (3% allowed increase from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027). Most newer buildings over 15 years old fall under AB 1482: 5% plus CPI, max 10%, or 8.7% in the LA area from August 1, 2026.
Does Measure ULA apply in West LA?
Yes. For City of LA sales closing after June 30, 2026, ULA takes 4% of the full price above $5.4 million and 5.5% at $10.9 million or more, on top of the 0.45% City and 0.11% County transfer taxes. Other costs: the broker commission (negotiated, not set by law), escrow, title and any loan prepayment penalty. We model your net proceeds before you list.
Do Brentwood buildings sell for more?
Often, on yield. Our 9-unit sale at 11927 Kiowa St closed at a 4.06% cap rate and $458 per square foot, below the 5.3% West LA average cap rate in 2025.
How long does it take to sell?
Timing depends on price, financing and how fast you deliver due diligence; escrow typically runs 30 to 60 days. Deliver the rent roll, T-12 and leases up front and buyers can move faster.
Can I sell off-market?
Yes. A full campaign usually brings more buyers and a higher price; off-market works when the right buyer is already in hand.
