FEWER SALES, BIGGER PRICES: LA LUXURY BUYERS ARE STILL SPENDING

FEWER SALES, BIGGER PRICES: LA LUXURY BUYERS ARE STILL SPENDING

The Los Angeles luxury market delivered a clear signal this week: fewer homes traded, but those that did sold at considerably higher prices. From September 7 to 13, 24 single family homes priced at $4 million and above closed for approximately $176.2 million. The average sale price was $7.34 million, with a median of $5.82 million.

Year over year, transaction count fell 25% from 32 sales, yet total volume declined less than 10%. More notably, the average sale price increased more than 20%, while the median rose nearly 14%.

The upper end drove the week, with three sales above $10 million. Marlboro Street led at $21.145 million, followed by Hidden Ridge at $15.3 million and Carmelina Avenue at $11.26 million. Carmelina sold above its $10.35 million asking price after just 15 days on market.

We also saw buyers move quickly when the right property hit the market. Durham Road in Beverly Hills closed at $9.6 million after only three days on market, while Carnavon Way sold for $6.136 million against a $5.6 million asking price after six days.

As we move further into the fall market, the divide remains clear: buyers are selective, but they are not sitting on the sidelines. Well-positioned properties are still commanding attention and, in some cases, competition.
