If you are looking to buy a house on the Eastside, you already know the story: prices are rising. Read this fascinating article on Medium and you will understand why the Tracy Do team supports the development of new housing in LA.
We’re not saying that homes should be built “wherever.” But make no mistake, sensible urban density is the only answer moving forward. Without it, our crisis of soaring rents and a lack of affordable entry-level housing will only get worse, just as it has for our upstate neighbors in San Francisco.
From today’s Los Angeles Times, and this is certainly the primary reason behind the high cost of local housing right now. Another more underlying factor, in our experience, is that we see a lot more buyers moving here from other places, namely NYC and the SF bay area.
Believe it or not, our market is “a bargain” compared to theirs.
As frustrating as this is — don’t be frustrated. We can help, and will show you around pockets throughout the Eastside communities that we serve where prices are more attainable for many buyers.
