Their houses burned down. Now, they are fighting for the few homes left on the market

LA Times  

Thousands of families were displaced on Tuesday when fires torched homes throughout Pacific Palisades and Altadena, kicking off a regionwide house hunt as victims scoured a tight market looking for homes to rent — or even buy. “Dozens and dozens of people are going after the same properties,” said David Berg, a Compass real estate agent with Smith & Berg Property Group. Shana Tavangarian Soboroff, a real estate agent with the Beverly Hills Estates, evacuated from her parents’ Pacific Palisades home Tuesday — where she was staying while her own residence was under construction nearby. “I have a long list of clients actively looking for a replacement,” Soboroff said Wednesday, just hours before she learned her parents’ house was destroyed in the fire. “Some of the properties, they add up almost 50% to the rent,” said Heidi Jensen, a real estate agent helping families displaced from the Palisades fire.
