Description

Homeowners are staying put longer than ever, and nowhere is this trend more extreme than in California. In today’s episode, we break down new data showing that the typical Los Angeles homeowner now holds onto their property for a record 19.4 years—the longest tenure in the nation. We’ll explore why Proposition 13’s property tax incentives and locked-in low mortgage rates are keeping homeowners from selling, how this is worsening the housing shortage, and why younger buyers are struggling to break into the market.
