Burbank Home Value | Cost Approach Shows $240K in Instant Equity

Phil Keppel with Media West Realty explains the Cost Approach to real estate — a method used by appraisers, investors, and the insurance industry. Instead of just looking at comps, the Cost Approach asks: what would it cost to recreate the same home today? For Phil’s current Magnolia Park listing at $1.4M, conservative estimates put replacement at $1.64M — giving buyers over $240,000 in instant equity. *Numbers supplied are approximations and not guaranteed.

Los Angeles Housing Market Update | Is Now Your Time to Buy? (09/29/2025)

Hello Los Angeles, this is Phil Keppel with Media West Realty. My colleagues and I have been noticing a slowdown in our local market. Many buyers stepped aside as investors and all-cash buyers dominated over the past couple of years.

But things are shifting. Open houses aren’t as crowded, and enough inventory has come on to satisfy even the investors. This could be your best opportunity before the flood of average buyers comes back to the market.

So if this makes sense to you, contact me at (818)516-7387 — that’s (818)516-7387. I look forward to hearing from you.

Smart Scheduling For Your Los Angeles, CA Summer Home Listing...

Thinking of selling your home this summer? 🏡 Hold up — July might not be your month.

Hi, I’m Phil Keppel with Media West Realty. I guide my clients based on what gets them the best results, not what fits my schedule.

July is peak vacation season. Many potential buyers may be out of town — not walking through homes when you’re trying to sell!

I advise sellers to list between March and early June or hold off until August when buyer demand picks back up.

Time it right, and you could get multiple great offers. List in July? You might get one — if that.

So if this makes sense, call, text, or WhatsApp me at (818) 516-7387. Let’s get your home sold smart — and for top dollar.
