A look at different areas of the city from industry tracker Altos Research as of Nov. 24 shows a decline in one ZIP code’s median home list price of 13% and a gain of 15% in another.

One consistency throughout, however, is a decline in overall inventory, which is at 184 as of Wednesday. City-wide inventory was 215 as of Oct. 8, and has steadily dropped since then.

“Home sales continue to outstrip supply,” Altos summed up of Glendale, characterizing it, again, as “a seller’s market.”

Here’s a look at home sale and rental statistics in Glendale ZIP codes per the Nov. 24 Altos report, along with analytical comments for each when available:
