|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-4 units | 119 | $1,200,000 | $337,500 | $163M |

Methodology & limitations
Source. Every figure is calculated from Samimi CRE Advisors' own closed transaction records — 334+ multifamily sales, $446M+ in volume, 3,000+ units, closed between 2019–2026. Many of these sales are independently verifiable through public deal coverage and CoStar.
Medians, not averages. Median is used throughout so that one outsized trophy sale does not distort a submarket.
Price per unit is a subset. It is calculated only on transactions with a recorded unit count of two or more, and published only where that subset contains at least five transactions. Cities showing "n/a" have closed deals but too thin a unit-count sample to publish a defensible figure.
This is a brokerage book, not a market index. It is weighted toward the submarkets where Cameron Samimi transacts most heavily and toward the 2–30 unit product type. It should be read alongside, not instead of, CoStar or county recorder data.
No client data. Only aggregate statistics are published. No individual deal terms, buyer or seller identities, or off-market pricing appear here.

Frequently asked

Long Beach runs near $306,000 per unit, Santa Monica near $377,500, and Inglewood near $218,500. These medians come from one brokerage team's actual closings rather than a listing-price index, and individual buildings vary widely with unit mix, condition, and in-place rent.

The median closed multifamily sale price across all tracked LA County submarkets sits between roughly $900,000 and $3.3M depending on the city — about $1.58M in the City of Los Angeles, $1.68M in Long Beach, $1.15M in Inglewood, and $2.25M in Santa Monica.
