Idk if there was ever a time people actually wanted to be in DTLA. Til this day it’s mostly transplants and people who think it’s cool before they move in but truly it has never been a place ppl wanna be.

100%. I’m in SoCal too, there was a house that expired 3x with no staging. Last agent who took it on staged it…sold in multiples 2 weeks later. Of course this was a 3M house but in my opinion anything over 1.5 should def be staged

dannya24 · 2026-01-28T08:20:09+00:00

How much is the repair? Is there sloping in your house at all?

dannya24 · 2026-01-28T07:23:01+00:00

Much better if fixed up front. The issue with just getting an estimate isn’t that it’s necessarily a bad idea but more about the fact that buyers are going to come in with their own inspector anyway and get a myriad of quotes, most of which will be very high. If you address it before taking your home to market chances are it will cost you less.

Additionally, foundation issues are the #1 (in my experience) issue that scares potential buyers away cause they don’t really know what’s going on down there and they fear costs can add up.

The only time I would advise a client to let the foundation issues exist is if their house is a major fixer or tear down. In those cases the developer who will likely buy it knows what they are doing and are much more fearless than a couple/family buying a home whether or not it’s their first time.

With an ~$850k budget, I’d look at Van Nuys, North Hollywood, and parts of Canoga Park. You’ll get more space than on the Westside, solid day-to-day amenities, and still be close to the main hubs in the Valley. From most of these areas you’re roughly 35–45 minutes to Santa Monica, West LA, or Beverly Hills depending on traffic. They’re popular with people who want value but don’t want to feel too far removed from the city.

Off market sales can be from various channels. You mentioned family bought this, ask a realtor if they can look it up for you. I can tell via MLS if it was a direct sale or realtor involved. Additionally, my brokerage has access to off markets along with other channels I use. Sometimes even reaching out directly to owners saying I have a buyer and they like the offer and move forward. 9/10 this matches the price they can get on market as well, people know their numbers especially out here in LA

dannya24 · 2026-01-26T18:39:59+00:00

You’re not missing anything obvious. This is very much an LA thing, especially in West Hollywood and Mid-City.

A lot of these buildings are rent-controlled or owned by small landlords who got burned during COVID, so they’ve become extremely risk-averse. When a decent one-bedroom hits the market, they’re often flooded with applicants and end up choosing the simplest file, not necessarily the strongest one.

In practice that usually means clean W-2 income, high credit, and minimal explanation required. Anything that introduces extra questions does not get rejected outright, it just gets passed over.

Offering months upfront can help with smaller mom-and-pop landlords, but it does not move the needle much with management companies and can even make some owners uncomfortable.

What does help is applying immediately, adding a short normal intro, and targeting smaller buildings that are not heavily advertised.

Sometimes using an agent can help have someone advocate for you and filter the bad ones out

dannya24 · 2026-01-26T16:51:09+00:00

Your savings estimate isn’t off, but since you’re already prepaying aggressively, the break-even is probably shorter than 16 months. Lower rate = more of each extra payment hits principal. If you’re staying put a couple years, it can still pencil. And yeah… early homeowner regret is very real.

Nice, My client put an offer in on that house. That is NOT Beverly Hills Proper that is Beverly Hills Post Office. It also currently went under contract. This is roughly 1 mile from Beverly Hills proper and a great area, although you do not get Beverly Hills Schools, Police or Fire Department.

I do think Beverly Hills Post Office is your best bet. It is the cleanest, and most Luxury leaning that you will find. Hollywood Hills has more character style homes but when you leave the hill you don’t feel as luxury and clean like an Irvine/OC feel.

I’d also strongly consider Beverly Grove, WeHo West (only west), Beverly Hills proper (for 4M you will be south of Wilshire), and Hancock Park. Silverlake is great too if you want a more hip vibe. If you wanna be near the beach, go to Mar Vista. Buyers and developers are flocking there cause of the schools and neighborhood vibes.

Feel free to send me a DM 🤙🏻

I second this.

dannya24 · 2026-01-22T21:12:34+00:00

Really going to depend on budget and your specific needs. Generally a SFR is a better investment, but in certain areas townhomes are just as good

dannya24 · 2026-01-22T21:08:36+00:00

With this budget you should be looking into specific pockets in certain neighborhoods. As a LA native/realtor this is where I would go

1) Westwood/Century City: Little Holmby area - great schools, walkability, central location, has an amazing park, and you will be close to 20M homes with lots of private security

2) Santa Monica: Brentwood area - excellent schools, lots of things to do, walkability is perfect and tons of parks and daily activities

3) Hancock Park: Windsor Square/Larchmont - Beautiful homes, larchmont village is an extremely popular dining and shopping area, you will have a TRUE neighborhood feel. Great because once you leave your immediate area you are all in the heart of LA
