Executive Order No. N-7-25, signed by the Governor on January 14, 2025, prohibited a buyer from making an unsolicited offer to an owner of real property located in specified ZIP Codes in the County of Los Angeles to purchase the real property for an amount less than what the fair market value of the property was on January 6, 2025. Executive Order No. N-17-25 expanded that prohibition to include real properties in additional specified ZIP Codes. Subsequent executive orders extended the prohibition until July 1, 2025. Existing law makes a violation of the executive order a misdemeanor, as specified."

Executive Order No. N-7-25, signed by the Governor on January 14, 2025, prohibited a buyer from making an unsolicited offer to an owner of real property located in specified ZIP Codes in the County of Los Angeles to purchase the real property for an amount less than what the fair market value of the property was on January 6, 2025. Executive Order No. N-17-25 expanded that prohibition to include real properties in additional specified ZIP Codes. Subsequent executive orders extended the prohibition until July 1, 2025. Existing law makes a violation of the executive order a misdemeanor, as specified.
