California Real Estate Market Slows Sharply - Los Angeles Today
California's real estate market is showing signs of a major slowdown, with home sales down 31% compared to the last 18 years. Factors contributing to the decline include high interest rates, rising insurance costs due to wildfires, and new real estate taxes like Measure ULA in Los Angeles. Construction has also slowed due to high costs and regulations, leading to low inventory. The author argues that two terms of Governor Gavin Newsom have created an environment of pessimism, and that the state needs major changes to address the real estate crisis.

Housing Improves on Paper as California Realtors Warn Economy’s Strength Masks Deeper Strains
For an economy that refuses to break, the latest numbers offer a peculiar kind of reassurance: things are getting better, except where they aren’t. A new report from the California Association of Realtors (CAR) paints a portrait of a U.S. economy that appears resilient in headline indicators—steady job growth, moderating inflation and slightly improved housing affordability—but remains stubbornly fragile beneath the surface, weighed down by weak consumer spending, rising uncertainty among small businesses and borrowing costs that remain punishingly high by historical standards. The contradictions are everywhere. The labor market delivered a stronger-than-expected showing in January, with employers adding only 130,000 jobs and unemployment falling to 4.3%, neither of which is a particularly strong number. Inflation, meanwhile, has cooled, with the consumer price index rising 2.4% over the past year and core inflation slowing to 2.5%, its best reading in nearly six years. Yet the apparent progress has not translated into widespread economic relief. Retail sales were flat in December, signaling consumers are increasingly cautious despite steady employment. Small business optimism, while still above its long-term average, slipped as uncertainty rose sharply, and more owners reported insurance costs and economic unpredictability as their most pressing concerns. In housing, the changes are modest and hard-won. California’s housing affordability index edged up to 18% in the fourth quarter, meaning fewer than one in five households could afford the median-priced home. Monthly mortgage payments declined about 4% from a year earlier, helped by easing—but still elevated—mortgage rates. Even that modest improvement reflects less a surge in prosperity than a slight easing of financial pressures the CAR report noted. Mortgage rates have fallen to a three-year low, offering relief to buyers and helping stabilize affordability. But borrowing costs remain high relative to the ultra-low rates that defined much of the previous decade, and homeownership

The California State of Real Estate
California’s housing market has shifted from cyclical tightness to a deeply structural shortage, marked by persistently low inventory, a permanently higher price floor, and affordability constraints that now dictate buyer behavior. Even as pandemic-era extremes have eased, prices remain elevated, million-dollar listings have become commonplace across metros, rents continue to strain households, and new construction falls far short of what’s needed. Layered on top of these pressures, wildfire disruptions and sustained outmigration underscore how supply limits and affordability challenges are reshaping California’s housing market and population trends for the long run.

Occupancy Gains Reinforce Inland Empire's Office Market Recovery
— By J.C. Casillas of NAI Capital — The Inland Empire office market continues to show signs of recovery, with broad-based tenant demand pushing occupancy higher and absorbing vacant direct space. While landlords are holding asking rents steady to capitalize on the improving environment, direct vacant space decreased 3.2 percent quarter over quarter and 16.4 percent year over year. Vacant sublease space fell a solid 4.5 percent quarter over quarter, though it nearly doubled year over year to 135,149 square feet at year-end. Renewed tenant activity continues to chip away at vacant space, reinforcing the recovery. In fourth-quarter 2025, net absorption — driven primarily by direct space — totaled about 557,000 square feet for the year, marking a meaningful milestone in the market’s rebound. The vacancy rate edged down 10 basis points quarter over quarter, supported by 106,095 square feet of space coming off the market. It now stands at 4.7 percent, 80 basis points lower than a year ago. Stabilization has been supported by shifting workplace strategies and evolving remote work patterns. Since the economy reopened following the pandemic, occupied office space has increased by nearly 2.1 million square feet, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Sublease vacancy has fallen 22.5 percent…
