8/3 - Westside inventory is up 2.6% from the end of July. I also seem to be seeing more price reductions and failed escrows (financing failed?) in Santa Monica, Palisades, and Mar Vista.
7/27 - Santa Monica is down (only 2 new listings for the week). Palisades is up. Mar Vista is flat. Oh, and the Dow was down another 208 points today, 4.2% for the week.
7/20 - Inventory is down a bit, from fewer new listings. Properties featured here that are no longer active include 3208 Urban, 1020 Chelsea, 2820 2nd, 1221 Georgina, and 461 Puerto del Mar (guess they finally found their price after 10 reductions). Wonder if being featured here helped them sell? Already a $200K reduction for 2516 Cloverfield.
7/13 - Really big inventory jump in SM, up 10 from last week, from 21 new listings in July, more than the 18 for all of June (<$3M). Palisades is slightly down, and Mar Vista is flat.
7/6 - Big inventory rebound this week: SM up 5, from 7 new listings <$3M; PP up 5, from 5 new listings <$2M; MV up 6, from 9 new listings. But at 48, SM inventory <$3M is still well below the 67 of a year ago.

why is there always so much inventory in malibu? is it bigger or was there more speculation there? i have a friend who lives there, and when i go out to visit him it seems like every other house is for sale. ditto beverly glen blvd up and down the mountain. has anyone driven up the hill lately -- seems like EVERY house is for sale.
Wating, I know what you mean - we've been doing a lot of driving around Malibu and the canyons recently, and every other place is for sale!
Problem being that the prices are ridiculous - there's almost nothing for under 1 million and very little for under 2 million. And they sit and sit - a lot of these places have been listed for almost a year with no sign of selling.
I guess thery're waiting out for some rich movie stars, or music moguls, to come and buy. Normal people simply can't afford it.
Its especially galling when you look at the sales history for some of these places - most were sold for half of what they're asking now, even if the last sale after 2000.
Throw in the fact that, even if you work on the Westside, its a 20 - 30 mile commute on the PCH every day - crazy prices.
