Weekly inventory update

9/19 - Santa Monica was up slightly; Pacific Palisades <$2M jumped another 15% to a record 39; Mar Vista jumped 10%.

Sunset Park choices under $1M are expanding: 1213 Oak (2/1.5), $895K; 3027 11th (2/1.85), $899K; 1337 Maple (2/1), $929K; and 2417 Hill (3/2), $949K.

Last week's 1030 Chelsea cut its price $100K to $1,299K while "Looking for Backup". North-of-Montana's 402 19th (below) is now "Looking for Backup", but the others are still available.

9/12 - Santa Monica <$3M is down 3%; Pacific Palisades <$2M jumped up 21%; Mar Vista dropped 8%.

North-of-Wilshire indicator 1030 Chelsea went into escrow, but it took nearly 6 weeks. Its $1,399K price was below recent comps last year at 1020 Chelsea, sold 8/24/07 for $1,478K, and 1024 23rd, sold 8/8/07 for $1,445K. With the wait to sell probably went below asking.

Added: North of Wilshire sales history, 2004-6.

Another interesting new north of Montana listing is the 5 bed/5 bath house at 751 24th Street, asking a low $2,350K.

9/5 - New and returned listings over $2M raised Santa Monica inventory. Pacific Palisades <$2M is down 1, but up 2 in total. Mar Vista is flat.

New sales established lower Sunset Park prices: 2640 24th (2/2) closed for $875K. In escrow after more than a month at $995K is 1645 Ashland (2/1). And 1215 Ashland (3/1) closed for $1,250K, 6% below last asking of $1,325K.

Last year's 1101 Cedar (photo) is back on the market at $1,375K. Last sold 12/16/05 for $1,169K, it was listed 4/11/07 for $1,580K, and left the market in 11/07 at $1,399K, no newer sale recorded.

Three new low-end 60-foot-lot Gillette houses were listed: 2/2 at 534 19th for $2,250K, 2/2 at 402 19th for $2,325K, and 3/1.75 at 416 21st Place for $2,375K. And the 2/3 60'-lot house at 210 21st reduced its price again, now to $2,259K.

219 23rd sold on 4/9/08 for $1.88M. Heard this was a "rushed sale" so there may have been some discount.

517 Euclid sold on 8/8/08 for $2.079M. Looking at the house on the lot, I would venture to say this puts lot value at under $2M.

611 14th sold in December 2007 for $2.0M
