Up 63 in one month. That's how many more 10,000 to 20,000 SF warehouses hit the lease market in Southern California between September and October. There are now 275 available. This size range makes up about a third of what's available in SoCal, and a lot of it has been sitting for a while. There has been some leasing. We still have a way to go. Here's the Warehouse Guru Data Dashboard for this segment across the Inland Empire, Orange County and the Mid-Counties: 275 properties available for lease, up 63 $1.37/SF average asking rate, up 10 cents 3.83M SF available, up about 840,000 SF ~500,000 SF of sublease space 202 average days on market, down 57 7 price changes from September to October The jump in listings is seasonal. Owners hold space through the summer when people are out of town, then load up in September and October. The 7 price changes tell you something too. Lessors see Q4 coming and want to get space leased. Lessors: think about concessions, or lowering the rate if you can Tenants: be a little aggressive right now. You can be. Top cities: Ontario 25 Santa Fe Springs 23 Anaheim 22 Irvine 18 Chino 18 A decent mix across the Inland Empire, Orange County and the Mid-Counties. Good luck and Good Leasing!

171 days. That's the average days on market right now for a 10,000 to 100,000 SF industrial building in the Mid-Counties. We haven't seen a number that low in a while. Product is moving. It has to be priced right. I'm currently selling two properties in this market. We priced them competitively and got quite a bit of activity on both. If you're a seller, plan around that 171-day timeline and price accordingly. Here's how the 38 properties on the market break down by size: 10,000 to 20,000 SF: 11, about 29% 20,000 to 30,000 SF: 6, about 15% 30,000 to 50,000 SF: 12, about 31% 50,000 to 100,000 SF: 9, about 23% Where they sit: Santa Fe Springs: 23 of the 38 La Mirada Cerritos Whittier Norwalk Santa Fe Springs tends to lead this market because of the base inventory it has. The heat map shows availability running all the way through the Mid-Counties. If you're looking to buy or sell here, keep these numbers in mind. If you want to talk through what they mean for your building, send me a DM.

352 days. That's the average time on market right now for a 50,000 to 100,000 SF warehouse for lease in Southern California. It's down slightly from August. It's still a long time to carry a vacant building. Here's the rest of the Warehouse Guru Data Dashboard for this size segment: 300 properties available for lease, up 7 from August $1.29/SF average asking rate, down $.02 cents ~22M SF available, up about 500,000 SF 2.58M SF of that is sublease More in Video Cheers CJ

You think sending emails is tough today, with spam blockers, promotions tabs, etc, etc. It gets worse--- used Grok to "clean up" my inbox - worked great.... so set up a bot and have it sweep your inbox on the reg and voila no more emails from that person/company etc... snail 🐌mail continues to win...

31 years married today. 33 with my wife. I’m often asked what is the secret - I don’t think there is a secret - just what has worked for us. Two things. One: a man once told me early on to look at her mother — because in twenty years, the daughter becomes the mom…Stuck with me. I met my wife, then her mom, and thought: I could be married to that. It held. Two: compromise. Each of us gives a little, steps back, lets the other shine, frustrated or angry, happy or sad..Nobody keeps score. Next day is a new day.. Three daughters watched it all. That’s the real win — they saw what a long ,loving, caring partnership looks like, and I hope they can duplicate it and make them want one of their own. Cheers to Kaarin - Love you

OC Lease Lagging....Why? Labor Day edition of the Warehouse Guru Data Dashboard. Orange County only this time, for lease, 10,000 to 100,000 SF. 435 spaces available, up 6 from August $1.46/SF average asking rate, up 15 cents from August 14.4M SF available 1.46M SF of that is sublease space $0.36/SF average net fees 313 days on market A note on net fees. When we curate this data, a lot of listings publish a base lease rate and no net fees. I don't know why. You can advertise a lease rate, you can advertise the fees. When I list a building I put them in. Based on what is published, net fees are running $0.20 to $0.40 and averaging $0.36. If you're comparing your building to the market, compare the all-in number. The big story is size. 10,000 to 20,000 SF is 187 spaces, or 43% of everything available in the county. If you own or are trying to lease in that band, that's your competition. 20,000 to 30,000 is 77 spaces, 30,000 to 50,000 is 74, and 50,000 to 100,000 is 22% of the market. By city, Anaheim leads at 86 available. Irvine is at 53, Santa Ana at 43, Fullerton at 27. Anaheim and Santa Ana sit at the top most months because their base inventory is large. A high count there is a different signal than it would be in a smaller city. One more thing: LA, the South Bay, and parts of the Inland Empire have seen lease activity pick up. Orange County has been lagging. We're seeing some movement, but not at the same pace, and I don't have a quick answer for why. Keep it in mind whether you're listing or looking. The full dashboard and heat map are free on WarehouseGuru.us, no gate. There's also a Market Availables page with two tables, for lease and for sale, showing every property behind these numbers. If you want information on any of them, send me a note.

POV: You finally open the SoCal industrial market view report and it doesn’t make you cry 😅 The SoCal industrial market didn’t die… it just went on a two+ year diet. Is the Southern California industrial market finally showing real signs of stabilization heading into mid-2026? Tenants have leverage, owner-users are finding deals, and motivated sellers & lessors are getting active and smart. If you own, invest in, or need industrial space in SoCal — this report is worth your time. Check out & Download @ mvdd.us Socal Industrial Market View Report - Spring 26 Edition... Cheers & good Buying, Selling & Leasing....Cameron

Los Angeles Mayors race… As I speak to others around the country I’m often asked about the LA Mayors race and if Spencer Pratt will win… This answer is I don’t live in LA and therefore cannot vote in that election however and unfortunately, although Spencer has a lot of support and I would vote for him, I do not believe he will win. LA has an overwhelmingly Democrat & Union voter base that consistently makes bad voting choices that exacerbate the challenges and problems that exist within the City. If Rick Caruso couldn’t beat the “Basura” mayor I highly doubt Pratt will do so. Sorry not sorry….but it is what it is.

📊Monday Market View Data Dashboard📊 Chino, Corona, and Riverside Industrial For-Sale - 10k-50k SF My Dashboard says the for-sale market is still thin but quietly improving: more buildings, more square footage, and fewer days on market—without a real price break yet. This kind of slow grind is where disciplined owners/users and investors win.

He Died Today……. Worst call of my life—sister-in-law calling to tell me that my brother, my best friend, my partner in life since the day he was born (12 months younger), was gone at 46. 10 Years ago today he left us - Wife, 4 beautiful children, family, friends galore, and the hope of a long life together with us all. He didn’t have to leave us. My mission since his passing is to spread the word about….. The need to have a HEART SCAN Not a New Diet, Stress Test, Physical, not blood work, not running 10 miles a day—a HEART SCAN This is one of the only ways to identify the condition that Damian died from…. It’s commonly referred to as the “Widow Maker” - artery just explodes - death instantly!!! The cause is plaque buildup in the artery. It can be caused by heredity, diet, life style, etc. However, the result is a blocked artery that at some point explodes. I’ve had (3) heart scans in the last 10 years and fortunately, I have little to no plaque buildup. Genetic Lottery winner…but many are not!! The scan is super easy - basically a CAT scan of your heart and arteries to identify “inclusions” - blockage in the 3 main arteries in your heart. Look it up….EBCT Heart Scan or Coronary Calcium Screening - “The single most accurate test to predict heart attack risk” Because of my 10 Year mission to have others get this scan - many have found very major issues with blocked arteries and heart valve issues, possibly saving many lives and families heart break and sorrow. The best part of this scan is “If you know you know…” and either treat it or you don’t have an issue.. I'd rather be thanked for pushing them to get a heart scan vs offering my condolences and their loved one joining Damian…. Please go do this - look it up in your local area, don’t let a doctor tell you —-you don’t need it —- go do it. Typically less than $250.00 and 30 minutes - non invasive quick scan. Men & Women - Age 30 and older is my suggestion. Why 30? Because he didn’t end up with 98% blockage in a few years it was a gradual buildup. Life is busy…. Go do it. DM me for more info & take a family member and friend along…spread the word… Miss you Damian....my brother & friend - Cheers to a short life lived well…..
