To sum up, the information/data you present here suggests an average value of $915K for a smaller older home in Sunset Park south of Ocean Park, east of Lincoln at this time, right?
I love how you chose to highlight a negative quality about each place...seriously though, when you spend $1 million and get a property in a poor location with planes flying over your head then you know the world has gone mad.
It will be important to keep an eye on these "low end" homes as well as condos in Santa Monica to see when some of the first significant declines happen. Oh and by the way, Penmar golf course rocks!
Barb, kinda yes. The typical price range of Sunset Park is $1-1.5M, with the price varying based on location, size, and fix-up.
Like Craig noted, the houses below $1M all had something extra wrong with them, location close to airplanes, extra-small lot, and/or really bad condition.
Good to hear about Penmar!
Prices are dropping if you look at the 2 houses on the 2300 block of Pier, that sold most recently.
2314 Pier (Teardown) $920K 3/23/07
2338 Pier (SPANISH) $860K 3/7/07
Not a good sign.......

This area (Pico) or 90402 currently has 153 foreclosures listings. Many more homes will be coming on the market as the foreclosures work there way through the system. These prices are going to come way down.
Which area, Anon? SM south of Pico (Ocean Park and Sunset Park) is 90405. North of Montana is 90402.
Like to start tracking and posting foreclosure counts over time? OC Renter does it by county, but for Westside zip codes would be very interesting!
Again 153 foreclosures for 90402 - remove tax liens are there are only 9. Believe me, I think the housing market must come down. I sold my condo in January and my family (and our cash) are sitting on the sidelines. History tells us the decline can easily be a 7 year stretch of 3-8% annually. I'm in it for the long fall.
