Los Angeles County delivered 14,563 multifamily units in 2025, a 17% increase from the prior year, bringing total inventory to nearly 977,000 units. The volume proved too much for demand to absorb: Q4 absorption turned negative at -190 units, occupancy fell to 94.5%, down 80 basis points year-over-year, and average effective rent held essentially flat at $2,279. With 26,720 units still under construction, supply pressure is not yet resolved. Investment activity reflected the soft fundamentals: year-to-date sales volume of $6.3 billion came in 21% below the prior year, and average price per unit edged down 1% to $352,501. The Westside and Downtown submarkets hold the largest shares of the active pipeline, keeping near-term lease-up competition concentrated in those corridors.
