Key reading
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · Los Angeles · Organic search · October 19–25, 2026
modernluxury.com holds the first organic position on this query across the window, yet its presence frequency — 3 of 7 comparable runs (43%) — means the top slot was occupied by other actors on most runs. Zillow appeared in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%) at median position 2, making it the only actor present on every run in the window. List Sothebys International Realty also records median position 2 but appeared in 3 of 7 comparable runs (43%), while jamesedition.com sits at median position 3 with the same 3 of 7 comparable runs (43%) presence. properties.lefigaro.com, at median position 4, appeared in 5 of 7 comparable runs (71%) — the second-highest presence frequency on the panel. The top-3 composition shifted across the window, with 8 different actors cycling through those positions — a max rank variance of 8 positions across the full actor set.

How the actors read on the surface
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · Los Angeles · Organic search · October 19–25, 2026
modernluxury.com holds the first organic position on this query by median rank across the window. Its presence frequency of 3 of 7 comparable runs (43%) means the position 1 reading reflects the runs where it appeared, not a continuous grip on the top slot.
Zillow appears at the second organic position on this query with a median of position 2. It is the only actor on this panel present in 7 of 7 comparable runs (100%), giving it the most consistent visibility on this query across the entire window.
List Sothebys International Realty
List Sothebys International Realty appears at the second organic position on this query, sharing the same median position 2 as Zillow. Its presence in 3 of 7 comparable runs (43%) marks it as an intermittent signal on this surface during the window.
jamesedition.com appears at the third organic position on this query with median position 3. Present in 3 of 7 comparable runs (43%), it enters the top-5 panel as one of the actors cycling through the upper ranks across the window.
properties.lefigaro.com appears at the fourth organic position on this query. Its presence in 5 of 7 comparable runs (71%) makes it the second-most frequently observed actor on this panel, appearing more regularly than three of the four actors ranked above it.
Pattern on the observed surface

The panel structure on this query is contested rather than c
The panel structure on this query is contested rather than concentrated. The spread between the first and last median positions is 3 positions — a compressed range — but the top-3 composition churned across the 7-run window, with 8 different actors rotating through those slots. Only one actor appeared on every run; the remaining four each appeared in 3 to 5 of 7 comparable runs. Presence frequency across the panel ranges from 3 of 7 comparable runs to 7 of 7 comparable runs, and median rank and presence frequency do not move in parallel on this surface.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · Los Angeles · Organic search · October 19–25, 2026
modernluxury.com holds position 1 by median rank on a query explicitly about Los Angeles luxury real estate — yet it appeared in fewer runs than properties.lefigaro.com, a domain whose name signals a European editorial origin. On this single query, the organic surface in Los Angeles draws actors from outside the expected local or national set.
Market implication
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · Los Angeles · Organic search · October 19–25, 2026
This observation signals that the organic surface for "luxury homes for sale Los Angeles" is not locked by any single actor across the 7-run window. The actor holding median position 1 appeared intermittently, while the only actor present on every run sits at median position 2. For monitoring purposes, this query's organic surface reads as unsettled — rank position alone does not capture the full visibility picture without accounting for presence frequency.
