Westchester was built quickly in the 1940s for aerospace workers and remains a community of single-family streets. It holds Loyola Marymount University, the Kentwood and Westport Heights tracts and the bluff above Playa Vista. As of September 2026 MLS records show no homes for sale in Westchester, and 4 closed sales over the last two years (too few for a meaningful median; most listings here are carried by the Los Angeles-area MLS).

i
Absorption rate shows how fast homes are selling. It takes the homes for sale today and divides them by the number of homes that sold per month over the last 12 months.
The answer is how many months it would take to sell every home on the market if no new listings came up. Under about 4 months usually means a seller’s market, 4 to 6 months is balanced, and over 6 months favors buyers.
Right now about 28% of the homes for sale in Westchester are selling each month.
