- Structure on record
The county's records show something built here: improvement value on the assessor's roll, or a year built on its parcel map. That can be the asset or it can be the liability — a derelict building is a demolition bill, and an occupied one is a possession problem.
- Offered before, didn't sell
This parcel was in the county's previous sale and drew no bid. The market has already seen it once and passed. A lower opening bid this time is the county trying again, not a discount someone missed.

What parcels with a building sold for at earlier Los Angeles auctions
Los Angeles publishes the price of every parcel it sells. Each dot is one of those sales, at its price divided by its own opening bid, so a dot at 1× went for the opening bid and a dot at 10× for ten times it.
one sale median, shown only where a group has 30 sales or more
| Group | Sold | At the opening bid | At 2× or more | Median |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 2025 With a building | 16 | 0 | 14 | under 30 |
| April 2026 With a building | 6 | 0 | 5 | under 30 |
| June 2025 June re-offer of April's unsold | 25 of 71 | 13 | 5 | under 30 |
This parcel was on the county's April 2026 list and did not sell. The June 2025 row is the county's second try at April 2025's unsold parcels, at lower opening bids.
These rows describe groups of earlier sales. None of them is an estimate of what this parcel will sell for.
