Studio City Real Estate Market Update

Studio City Real Estate Market Update

This week, the Studio City, CA real estate market is holding steady, with the median list price at $2,897,000. The Market Action Index (MAI) remains unchanged from last month, sitting at 36, indicating a consistent market dynamic. Meanwhile, inventory has dropped slightly, with 68 active listings on the market.


Understanding the Market Action Index

The Market Action Index provides a snapshot of the market by comparing the rate of sales with the available inventory.

  • Current MAI: 36 (Slight Seller's Advantage)
  • Last Month's MAI: 36

Though the market has plateaued, we’re still in a seller’s market, meaning that if this trend continues, prices could resume their upward climb. A close watch on the MAI will reveal whether sellers maintain their edge or if buyers may start to gain ground.
