I ran across a list of prices of sold houses north of Montana in the second half of 1996, about the bottom of the last cycle (shown on the Los Angeles S&P/Case-Shiller graph, above, from Paper Economy).
"Lot value" for a typical 50x150 lot was a little over $600K. Jump into the time machine, here they are:

1996 north-of-Montana prices

What a find! Totally fascinating.
And for what it's worth, the CPI claims 28% inflation between 1996 and 2006. So on that basis we might expect prices starting in the high 700's.
Westside,
Great info. I feel like as more folks start seeing the weakness in the westside real estate market, areas like "north of Montana" are viewed by the bulls as sanctuaries. North of Montana properties have been so hot in the recent past that it seems like the area is invincible. It will weather the storm and trees will grow to the sky, they say.
Not too long ago, it was said that all of Santa Monica would hold up. I, you, and others have shown that weakness is already showing in many SM areas. I have shown a few examples on my blog of recently foreclosed condos. Not in the most desirable areas of SM and not single family homes...but it was still SM.
It seems only natural that as the cycle continues, the weakness will get worse in the less desirable areas while also spreading across the board. First it was weakness spreading from the "areas out east", while now it seems likely to be spreading from "less desirable SM properties". If we can see sustained, highly visible declines in the north of Montana area, there will be no more left to prove.
The guy who was running the Pacific Beach bubble blog shut down his site because he said that it was now so obvious that real estate in the area was dead that there was no reason to keep going. Remember, San Diego led the cycle down so I think you can see what I'm getting at here. Keep up the great work.
Some of those properties on 14th must be getting close to setting the record for the most open houses. Two of them were open today, for what must be the 20th time each.
warchest, you're dead on in your analysis. few months back, I was chatting with a friend about how insane it is to take out an I/O, particularly as the market is turning. Another friend happened to be standing nearby and she blurted out: what's wrong with an I/O? I know she recently purchased a house in SM canyon. Blew my mind that someone would use interest only to buy into the canyon. Sounded potentially very dangerous.
KEEP........ GOING, GOING ....GONE !

Westside: This is fantastic data! You are right to keep tabs on NOMO as this thing rides out- I buy the perfect commodity argument since the lots are mostly normalized and this has been THE trendy area.
BTW, I've been checking the Westside rentals house listings and there are quite a few in NOMO- kind of joke that these things are mostly for rent at essentially the mortgage rate. There are even some tear-downs for rent on the mls and westside rentals. That would be another data point: rental listings should expand as people attempt to rent instead of bailing on the property that they won't sell in a declining market. I wonder if the Westside guys wouldn't comment on home rental inventory in Santa Monica?
