Before making an offer in In 90403, buyers should be able to answer: How many comparable properties have sold in the past 90 days? What was the average days on market for those sales? Were the sold prices above or below list? What’s the current active inventory and how does it compare to six months ago?

Properties in In 90403 that have sat on market longer than 30 days warrant a closer look.
