Sellers guide FAQs – Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, buyer activity often peaks in spring and early summer, but the best time for you also depends on your neighborhood, price range, and personal timing.
Your LA home’s value is based on recent comparable sales, current competing listings, condition and updates, and buyer demand in your area, which a local agent can analyze in a comparative market report.
LA sellers typically pay agreed‑upon agent compensation, any applicable transfer taxes, part of the escrow and title fees, and repair credits or concessions negotiated with the buyer at closing.
A well‑priced, well‑presented LA home often attracts strong interest within the first few weeks, though total days on market vary by area and price point.
It is usually smart to fix major issues and make simple cosmetic improvements—such as fresh paint, minor landscaping, and basic updates—to help your LA home show better and support stronger offers.
The list price is your asking price when the home hits the market, while the sale price is what a qualified buyer actually agrees to pay and you accept in a signed contract.
Your agent schedules private showings with advance notice and may also hold open houses, coordinating with you so the home is ready and disruption to your routine stays manageable.
