How to read it

How to read this week’s numbers

What each measure means, with this week’s live values beside it.

Six numbers, plain English

This week’s live values for the Los Angeles–Orange County metro (week ending Sep 26, 2026) and ZIP 92672.

Months of supply: 4.3 this week. It is the number of months it would take to sell every home for sale at the current pace of new pending sales. Under 4 is usually called a seller’s market, 4 to 6 balanced, and over 6 a buyer’s market.
New pending sales vs new listings: 1,120 new pending sales against 1,573 new listings this week. When pendings outpace listings, the supply of homes is shrinking; when listings outpace pendings, it is growing.
Share of listings with a price cut: 8.3% across the metro this week, and 26% in ZIP 92672 in Aug 2026. A rising share often means sellers are adjusting to what buyers will pay.
Sale-to-list price: 99.6% on average for the week ending Sep 5, 2026. Under 100% means homes are closing below their asking price.
Days to pending: 53 days on average this week for homes that went under contract.

Read together, they answer one question: who has the leverage this week? The gauge above turns them into a single score, and this table shows what is behind it. No single week decides anything, so the useful habit is to watch the direction over several weeks.

How the gauge works

How to read the dials: 0 to 100, low numbers favor sellers and high numbers favor buyers. The weekly dial covers the whole Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim metro area (which includes Orange County) (no ZIP-level weekly data is published) and combines supply, price cuts, days to pending and pending sales against new listings, ranked against every week since 2018.

The monthly dial is local to ZIP: inventory, price-cut share and market temperature compared with the ZIP’s own record. It answers “is this month normal for here?” rather than “how does this place compare with somewhere else?”.

Plain summaries of public numbers; not advice, and not a forecast.
