Total newbie here- by "Up" do you mean inventory of unsold homes or ales being made?
Sorry- still learning. And very appreciative of the information you are supplying here on your blog!

What you mean by PP total is record? I don't see it.

6/6 was another PP record, at 144. Westside Bubble seems to repost the previous weeks comments (which always confuses me, too).

Anon #1, yes, they're counts of curent available inventory, including new listings month-to-date and average days on market since original listing date (not reset for relisting).

I keep the weekly comments through the end of the month. I post as new posts because someone early-on said modifying the same post messed up his RSS feed.

Hi. I'm hoping you and some of the gurus (Julie!) can help me with a few questions I have about a condo/townhome property (1342 Stanford St. 90404). While reviewing the assesed values, taxes, etc., I've found that each unit (there are 8) in the complex has has been appraised for vastly different ammounts (two of which- #2 & #3) are $725k, and were sold w/in a few days of each other to separate and unaquainted individuals--seems strange that the appraised value jumps $300k from 2004-2005 while the others had a normal appreciation, were they owned by the same person & put on the market at the same time? Also, one of them (#6) has a market value WAY above the others, but is actually in worse shape than the others. How does that happen? Finally, how is it possible for the land values for each unit to be so different when the difference in the square footage isn't that much?

This is all so confusing! Thanks so much for your help!

Christina, you're encountering one of the oddities of post-prop 13 California. To simplify (but not much): Assessed value is based on purchase price and is allowed to go up only 2% each year. So you get wildly differing valuations. It's the land value where there's the most flexibility in assessing, so that tends to be where you see the variation expressed most dramatically.

Let's revisit this post from Feb

I think PVC has nailed it.


North Santa Monica used to be VERY different from Beverly hills north of Wilshire.

The cars people drove, the clothes they wore, the values they had, all were VERY different than in Beverly hills

PVC points out that the new people moving in to the 90402 today are wealthier than the people who lived there in the past.
That is true. but i strongly dispute that these new people will act like people in Beverly Hills. I think that people with plenty of money to spend CHOOSE 90420 over Beverly Hills specifically cause they like the vibe of 90402

Similarly, they like the vibe of Montana Avenue better than the shopping streets in BH

From a wealth and income standpoint, the people moving in to BH today are the same as the ones moving in to BH but from a lifestyle perspective they are different - they pay homage to the old timers in the 90402 and do *not* drive a rolls, do *not* drive a bentley, do not dress up the way people in BH do. They may plunk down $5 mil for a house but they walk around in casual clothes and lead a casual lifestyle.

The 9002 will be different than BH - people move seeking different things

What is going on with the vibe in SM - is this crash we are in going to help sm preserve its unique vibe and keep sm different from bel air and bh for the long term ?

if so then the crash is a good thing - i love sm the way it is i don't want it to fill up with rolls and ferraris
