• Los Angeles' young homeowners are increasingly mortgage-free, hinting at inherited wealth (thecooldown.com) — Monrovia is singled out among LA-area cities as one of the region's top home builders between 2018 and 2025, a bright spot in an otherwise tight housing market. New USC research shows younger Los Angeles homeowners are increasingly mortgage-free, likely thanks to inherited wealth, while home prices continue to far outpace local incomes and construction timelines remain slow.
