The Three Numbers

Where it clears.

Every property gets three numbers. Low is the defensible floor — the hard number I'd hold in a soft market. Most Likely is the realistic close — what I walk into a buyer conversation with. Reach is the aspirational ask — room for offer-to-reduce dynamics, gives you upside if the trade moves fast.

Market Read · Los Angeles

How this submarket is trading.

This submarket trades in line with broader LA County dynamics — 5.5–6.5% caps for stabilized multifamily depending on vintage, unit count, and rent control regime. See the comps section above for the specific anchors used in this pricing.

Who You're Working With

WHY I built this.

I'm Taylor Avakian. I sell apartment buildings in Los Angeles, full stop. Not retail, not industrial, not hotels. Multifamily, in this market, every day.

Most owner-broker conversations start with a one-page valuation that doesn't show the work. I built this site for the opposite reason — so you can see exactly how I priced your property, stress-test it against your own assumptions, and decide what to do with the real numbers in front of you. No mystery, no theatrics.

If a deal doesn't pencil, I'll say so. If selling is wrong for you right now, I'll tell you that too. The long game beats the next commission every time.
