How overvalued is Los Angeles real estate?

I hate the term overvalued when it comes to real estate. In reality, the value of real estate is partially subjective. Thus, when I read that the Local Market Monitor estimates that the Los Angeles - Anaheim real estate market is 57% overvalued, I had to shake my a head a bit.

How do you compare Newport Beach real estate to real estate in East Los Angeles? I say you can't.

The Monitor study also claims that homes in Santa Barbara are overvalued by 86%. Instead of the average home selling for about $573,000.00, the study claims the homes are only worth $308,900.00.

Anybody that lives in Southern California knows that the average home in Santa Barbara isn't going to be selling for $300,000 anytime soon, if ever again.

Anyway, if you buy into the Local Market Monitor, Los Angeles real estate is still a far better value than other Southern California real estate markets, such as Riverside or San Diego.
