Van Nuys Apartment Buildings

Van Nuys is the LA submarket where the same quarter, the same block, and nominally similar buildings can trade at very different prices. Not because the market is confused — because Van Nuys has a bimodal buyer pool pricing two different theses on two different classes of inventory.

Median and range are drawn from the 12 Van Nuys buildings in the Sterman Transaction Index — Michael Sterman's own closed book, not a market-wide estimate. Per-unit pricing tracks building size as much as location, so compare against buildings of similar unit count rather than against the submarket average.
