Home Price History in Los Angeles
FHFA all-transactions House Price Index for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan statistical area — annual data, 1975 through 2025, rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
Los Angeles delivered the largest 2000–2006 boom of any major U.S. metro — the FHFA index more than tripled — and one of the deeper post-2006 declines (a -33% peak-to-trough). The recovery was slower than the national pace until 2017, after which prices accelerated through the pandemic. As of 2024, the Los Angeles HPI sits roughly 2.7× its 2000 base, comfortably above the national index but below the highest-flying Sunbelt and Mountain West metros.
The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the Los Angeles HPI by 34.7% peak-to-trough — from 251.8 in 2006 to 164.4 in 2012. For context, the U.S. national HPI fell roughly 24% over the same period, so Los Angeles was meaningfully more affected than the national average.
The pandemic-era surge brought the Los Angeles HPI from 267.7 in 2019 to 399.0 in 2025 — a cumulative +49.0% move in 6 years. Compared to the U.S. national HPI's roughly 50% gain over the same period, Los Angeles appreciated roughly in line with the national rate.
Located in the West region of the United States, Los Angeles is one of the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan statistical areas by population. Long-run housing appreciation in Los Angeles reflects a combination of regional employment trends, in-migration patterns, and local supply constraints. The full year-by-year FHFA HPI for Los Angeles is in the data table below.
