California’s August housing numbers are in — and the market is still moving.

Statewide, the median sold price for an existing single-family home reached $901,420, up 1.6% from July.

California’s annualized sales pace also increased 2.4% from July, while the national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.95% as of September 17.

What does that tell us?

Buyers are still buying.
Homes are still selling.
And higher rates haven’t stopped the market.

But the statewide numbers are only the starting point.

Downey, Whittier, Norwalk, La Habra, Cerritos and the surrounding communities can all behave very differently depending on neighborhood, price range, condition and competition.

After 23 years in real estate, that’s where the real conversation begins:

What do these numbers mean for your home or your next move?

If you’ve driven near the Norwalk Civic Center lately, you’ve probably noticed the construction. This is what’s taking shape.

The Walk is a major mixed-use redevelopment at Norwalk Boulevard and Imperial Highway that is planned to bring 374 homes, including 56 affordable units, approximately 94,000 square feet of commercial space, retail areas and a new parking structure to the Civic Center area. Construction is now underway on the residential, retail and parking components.

Projects like this are worth following even if you're not planning to buy or sell a home today.

Why?

Because neighborhoods don't stay static.

New housing, restaurants, shopping, gathering spaces and infrastructure can gradually change how an area looks, how residents use it and how people perceive the community.

After 23 years in real estate, that's part of the local market I pay attention to as well.

Not just what sold last week, but what is being built next.

I’ll keep following The Walk as construction progresses and share meaningful updates as they happen.

09/16/2026

One of the biggest homebuying myths is that you need 20% down before you can even start looking.

You don’t necessarily need 20%.

Current consumer guidance from both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae shows that certain conventional programs can allow qualified borrowers to purchase with as little as 3% down.

That does not mean 3% down is automatically the best choice for everyone.

Putting more down can reduce the amount financed and may change the monthly payment. With conventional financing, putting less than 20% down will also generally mean paying private mortgage insurance until the applicable requirements for removal are met.

The point is simple:

Don’t eliminate yourself from the housing market based on a number you heard years ago.

Find out what you actually qualify for first. Then we can determine what price range and neighborhoods make sense for your budget.

After 23 years in real estate, I’d rather help someone understand their real options than have them spend another year assuming homeownership isn’t possible.

Your home may be doing more for you than you realize.

For many homeowners, we tend to think about the value of the house only when it’s time to sell.

But that’s only part of the picture.

Understanding your home’s current value — and approximately how much equity you have — can help you see what options may be available for the future.

Maybe that eventually means moving into a different home.

Maybe it means exploring an investment property.

Maybe you stay exactly where you are and improve the home you already love.

Or maybe you simply want to know where you stand financially.

There doesn’t have to be a transaction attached to the conversation.

After 23 years in real estate, I believe homeowners should understand the value of one of their largest assets even when they have absolutely no intention of selling.

If it’s been a while since you’ve checked your home’s value, you can start here:

Monday doesn’t always need a major reset. Sometimes one small project is enough.

Pick the drawer that has become the catch-all.

Clear off the kitchen counter.

Open the windows for a while.

Take care of the little repair you’ve been walking past for three months.

Move something around that makes a room feel different.

A home doesn’t need to be remodeled every time you want it to feel better.

Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference in how you enjoy the place you already have.

So no market update today. No interest-rate conversation. No reminder that you should be buying or selling something.

Just a Monday reminder to take care of the place you call home.

A cleaner space. A clearer mind. A brighter week.

Knowing real estate is important. Knowing the area matters just as much.

After 23 years in real estate, Southeast Los Angeles and North Orange County aren't markets I’m trying to learn from a computer screen.

These are communities I’ve worked in for years.

Downey. Norwalk. Whittier. La Habra. Pico Rivera. Bellflower. La Mirada. Cerritos — and the surrounding communities throughout Southeast LA and North Orange County.

Every city is different.

Values can change from one neighborhood to another. Housing styles change. Buyer demand changes. Commutes, schools, shopping, lot sizes and even the feel of individual neighborhoods can be completely different within only a few miles.

That local perspective becomes important when you're deciding where to buy, how to position a property for sale, or simply trying to understand what your options really are.

My goal is straightforward:

Local knowledge. Experienced guidance. No pressure.

If you're thinking about making a move in the area, I'm always available as a local real estate resource.

There’s something about Friday that makes you look at home a little differently.

Maybe it’s finally having time to enjoy the backyard.

Dinner outside.

Friends coming over.

A quiet Saturday morning.

Or simply having a space that feels like yours.

That’s also why weekends can be a great time to casually explore what’s out there.

Not necessarily because you’re ready to move tomorrow.

Sometimes you just want to see the new listings, compare neighborhoods, understand prices and start figuring out what you actually like.

After 23 years in real estate, I’ve learned that a lot of moves begin exactly that way — with someone simply looking.

So if you find yourself scrolling homes this weekend, enjoy it.

You might discover a neighborhood, property or possibility you hadn’t considered before.
