Los Angeles County's multifamily market cooled considerably in Q4 2025, with trailing 12-month net absorption falling to 2,606 units from over 10,000 earlier in the year, pushing vacancy to 5.7%. Asking rents held at $2,325 per unit, above year-ago levels despite the softer leasing pace. On the supply side, the picture is constructive: units under construction declined to 17,542 from 21,022 a year prior, continuing a multi-quarter contraction. Investment activity remained active, with several transactions clearing $100 million and cap rates holding near 5.0%. Limited product availability and deep structural supply constraints continue to support pricing across well-located assets county-wide.
