So… who’s actually buying homes in L.A. right now?
We came across a fascinating Reddit thread where one user asked a simple question: “Who here has bought a house in L.A. in the past three years? Where, and what do you do for work?”
Twenty-four Angelenos chimed in with honest, detailed answers. They shared where they bought, what kind of home they landed, and what they do for a living to make it all work.
The result is a rare glimpse into what it really takes to become a homeowner in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Some buyers are in tech or law. Others are nurses, artists, engineers, or self-employed. A few had help from family. Some scrimped and saved for years. A few even surprised us.
If you’ve ever looked around and wondered, “How are people affording houses here?”—this is your answer.
