Our analysis breaks down the key drivers behind this growth and what homeowners should know.
Active listings in Los Angeles have reached 6,744, the highest level in the state. Meanwhile, San Jose remains tight with homes moving in just 12 days on average. This supply imbalance across California is creating a two-speed market that's reshaping equity positions for homeowners in both metros.

At just 12 median days on market, San Jose ranks among the fastest-moving housing markets in California.
