Though, notably, they're only down 0.4%. However, investors will be heartened to know that this is likely to be a short-term issue. Vacancies are up as a result of an increase in the accessibility of remote work, but as LA seems to be preparing to reopen in the very near future, it is likely that people will return to the office and vacancies will soon start to decrease.” 2021 Los Angeles Real Estate Market Investing Forecast https://www.fool.com/millionacres/market/california/los-angeles/ Real Estate Tech Giants Are Shaken After a Q1 report, some of the biggest real estate tech giants like Compass, Redfin, and Zillow have started to come unglued and SoftBank’s miracle unicorn company Better is suggested to go public via SPAC as SPACs take a dive.
