A reasonable offer starts with similar completed sales, not a fixed reduction from the asking price. Your purchase deserves that closer look, and I'll help you separate what the home supports from what you're comfortable spending.
The September 2026 market figures cover Tarzana single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments. The reported sold-to-list-price percentage for September 2026 was 96.8%. The September 2026 median sold price was $1,301,250. September 2026 months of inventory stood at 5.36 months.
The sold-to-list-price percentage cannot set your personal offer limit. I would focus on recent sales resembling the home you want, then review differences in size, condition and features together. An appealing purchase price still needs to leave room in your finances for ownership costs and potential repairs.
Choose recent sales of similar homes to review with me before deciding on a reasonable offer range. Ask your lender to explain the payment and money needed at closing for the price you're considering. Write down the maximum price you are comfortable offering and which financing or inspection requirements your offer needs.
