What actually sold in South LA this summer — 464 closings, neighborhood by neighborhood

Every owner I sit down with has heard a number. A neighbor's number, a Zestimate, a cousin who "knows the market." So I pulled the real ones.

Between June 4 and September 2, 2026, 464 single-family homes closed inside the neighborhoods I work — Leimert Park, Baldwin Hills, View Park–Windsor Hills, Ladera Heights, Inglewood, Hyde Park, Jefferson Park, West Adams, and the blocks around them. These are closed sales from the MLS, not listings and not estimates. Every one of them is now a dot on the Ownership Map; tap any dot and you'll see the price, the date, the square footage and what it did against its list price.

Here's the 90-day read, neighborhood by neighborhood.

The medians

Boundaries are the LA Times neighborhood lines, single-family only, MLS sales only. County-recorded sales that never hit the market — family transfers, off-market deals — are on the map in gray but are not in these numbers, because they don't tell you what a buyer will pay.

What I'm seeing in the numbers

Sellers are getting their price. Over the full year, the median sale in most of these neighborhoods landed at 99–100% of list. Inglewood, Hyde Park, West Adams, Gramercy Park, Vermont Square and Westmont all sat right at 100%. That doesn't mean everything sells — it means the homes that are priced on real comps sell at the number, and the ones that aren't sit and cut. Pricing is the whole game right now.

Baldwin Hills is the story of the summer. A $1.45 million 90-day median against a $1.36 million twelve-month median. The View Park side is steadier — $1.22 million over 90 days, $1.31 million over the year — which is what you'd expect from a neighborhood where fewer homes turn over and more stay in the family.

Hyde Park and Inglewood are the volume. Forty-four closings each in 90 days. If you own here, you have the most comps and the least excuse for a bad price. An $800,000 median in both means the K Line blocks and the Inglewood blocks are being valued the same way by buyers, which was not true five years ago.

Under $700,000 still exists. Vermont Square, Gramercy Park, Westmont, Vermont Knolls and Harvard Park all closed medians between $606,000 and $705,000. For a family holding a house their parents bought for $60,000, that is a serious asset — and a serious Prop 19 and probate conversation before anyone signs anything.

What to do with this

If you own in any of these neighborhoods, don't take the table's number as your number. A median is the middle of a range, and your house is on one side of it. What I do in a Legacy Home Review is pull the three closed sales that actually look like your house — same block, same size, same condition — and show you the range, the net after costs, and the options that don't involve selling at all.

Every neighborhood page on this site now carries its twelve-month figures — count, median, price per square foot, and what sellers received against list — drawn inside the neighborhood boundary, refreshed as sales close. Start with yours: all neighborhoods.

Ownership is power. Let's build.
