Los Angeles’ sub-$1 million housing market is ultra-competitive, particularly so amid the current climate of low mortgage rates and inventory levels. If you’re tired of losing bidding wars to pesky all-cash buyers, consider purchasing a new construction home from a reputable builder instead. Here we’ve rounded up four new construction townhouse and single-family home communities from across the city that are now selling for less than six figures.
