Los Angeles entered Q4 2025 with multifamily fundamentals largely unchanged from the prior year. Average asking rents held flat on a trailing three-month basis through September at $2,646, outperforming the national average, which contracted 0.1% to $1,750. Occupancy in stabilized assets was also unchanged year-over-year at 96.0% in August, sitting 130 basis points above the U.S. average. The market absorbed 9,168 delivered units through September with another 25,700 underway. Employment growth slowed to 0.3% through July, trailing the national rate, with six sectors shedding 33,700 jobs offset by 56,000 gains in education and health services. Investors traded $1.4 billion in assets, with most activity concentrated in the Renter-by-Necessity segment. The metro's $30 billion airport transformation ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympics remains a major long-term economic driver.
