Market figures from public data only. Rank is among the 30 metros in our city hubs.
- Build mix. Permits were issued for 27,242 new housing units in the metro in 2025: 12,883 single-family (47%), 1,834 in 2–4 unit buildings and 12,525 in buildings with five or more units (46%). The 5+ share ranks #9 of the 30 metros with city hubs. (U.S. Census Bureau)
- Prices. FHFA’s all-transactions house price index rose 1.2% in the year to 2026 Q2 and rose 31.9% over five years, #20 of 30 for five-year growth. FHFA publishes this metro by division, so the figure is for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, CA division. (FHFA House Price Index)
- People. An estimated 12,927,614 residents on July 1, 2024, −2.1% against the April 2020 estimates base (#29 of 30 for growth; #2 by size). (U.S. Census Bureau)
12,883 single-family (47%) · 1,834 in 2–4 unit buildings (7%) · 12,525 in 5+ unit buildings (46%). Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey (2025 annual, units authorized, with imputation).
Our reading: the higher the 5+ share, the more new homes will need a building or association manager as well as a listing agent. Permit data does not say whether units will be rentals or condos.
