Recently, Kylie Moeller, Director of Market Acquisitions at Wedgewood Homes, joined Frank Mottek live on Mottek on Money to discuss what real estate market trends mean for homeowners across Los Angeles and Southern California.
During the interview, Kylie shared several data points shaping today's market as of January 2026:
- Inventory is higher year over year, though supply has followed a normal seasonal slowdown
- Homes are taking longer to sell, with average days on market in LA County around 57 days, up 17% year over year
- When selling, pricing correctly from the start is critical to avoid time-consuming price reductions and lengthy negotiations
Kylie also discussed how cash offers can provide speed and certainty in certain situations — particularly for homeowners with strict timelines, properties that aren't show-ready, or inherited homes that require additional flexibility.
A key theme throughout the conversation was the importance of working with experienced, reputable buyers. Kylie cautioned sellers to be mindful of last-minute renegotiations, hidden fees, and non-standard contracts — noting the value of working with licensed professionals who use official state contract forms and prioritize transparency.
