LA Housing Permits Surge Past 8,800 Units in First Half of 2026
It’s been a striking start to 2026 for Los Angeles housing: more than 8,800 residential permits were issued in the first half of the year—three times last year’s figure. This uptick in construction is encouraging for our communities, but as Rodney and Nelly, we see firsthand that it’s still not enough to close the gap between supply and demand. Many local families continue to feel the pressure of rising rents and home prices, highlighting how crucial it is to stay informed and proactive in this fast-changing market. Drawing on over two decades of guiding clients through shifting landscapes—and our own experience investing in long-term rentals—we know just how important smart decisions are right now. We’re always here to share insights and resources, so our neighbors can navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence.
