La Verne Real Estate Market Update: 2024

Market Update The Mark & Al Team December 18, 2024

As we wrap up 2024, the La Verne real estate market has continued to attract attention from buyers, sellers, and investors. Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, this charming Southern California city offers a blend of small-town charm, top-rated schools, and proximity to major urban centers. Here’s a look back at the key trends that have shaped the La Verne housing market this year.

Key Market Trends

  1. Home Prices Leveling Off After years of rising home prices, La Verne has experienced a period of stabilization in 2024. The median home price in the city has held steady, providing a balanced environment for buyers and sellers alike.

  2. Limited Inventory Persists Similar to other markets in the region, La Verne has faced a shortage of available homes. While new construction has slowly added to the housing stock, demand has remained high, especially for single-family homes.

  3. Increased Focus on Green Living Buyers have shown strong interest in properties with energy-efficient features like solar panels, smart home systems, and drought-resistant landscaping. These eco-friendly upgrades have significantly boosted property appeal in 2024.

Interest Rates and Affordability

Mortgage rates have been a key factor in the La Verne market throughout 2024. Although higher than the historically low rates of recent years, rates stabilized over the year, prompting buyers to focus on affordability and value. Move-in-ready homes have remained particularly popular.

Popular Neighborhoods

  • Old Town La Verne: Known for its historic charm and walkability, this area has continued to attract buyers seeking a strong sense of community.

  • North La Verne: Featuring spacious homes and stunning mountain views, this neighborhood has remained highly sought after by families.

  • The University District: Proximity to the University of La Verne has kept this area popular with investors and renters.

Tips for Buyers and Sellers

  • For Buyers: Acting decisively in this competitive market has been crucial in 2024. Working with a local agent and securing mortgage pre-approval has given buyers a significant edge.

  • For Sellers: Highlighting features that align with buyer demands, such as updated kitchens or energy-efficient additions, has been essential. Competitive pricing has also helped attract serious offers.

Investment Opportunities

La Verne’s rental market has remained strong throughout the year, particularly in areas close to the University of La Verne. Multi-family properties and well-maintained single-family homes have continued to offer promising returns for investors.

Reflecting on 2024

As 2024 comes to a close, the La Verne real estate market has demonstrated resilience and stability. With its desirable location, excellent schools, and welcoming community, the city remains a prime choice for buyers and investors seeking long-term value.
