Weekly inventory update

6/19/09 - SM inventory is flat overall; PP is down slightly; MV has rebounded up for the week.

6/12/09 - SM and PP inventories are up a little. Conversely it's almost a buying mania in lower-priced Mar Vista listings. I'll do a sales update for all three after the end of June.

6/5/09 - All are up for the week except Santa Monica over $3M, down, and it seems a lot of new price reductions.

thank you
this is very helpful indeed

I sort of use the sm >$3 million as a shortcut for 90402 i mean the majority of the over 3 million homes are in the 90402

It is so good to see the 90402 coming down - glad that I decided to rent for a few years in Sunset Park while waiting - the 90402 will soon be within reach

IN PP 90272:

981 Napoli in escrow for $6,295,000

714 Ocampo in escrow for $6,290,000

1059 Hartzell in escrow for $2,295,000

827 Hartzell in escrow for $2,650,000

876 Iliff in escrow for $3,295,000

All of the above sold in the last 12 days. I think it's safe to say 90272 is in far better shape than 90402.

PP is in in slightly better shape because the prices are going lower faster. Most that are selling are brand new and they're lowering their prices or it's not new and they're lowering the prices more. Then some VERY SMALL NUMBER of sales are happening. Sales will never be zero and at every lower price point some small number of people will step in.

Let's look closer at 1059 Hartzell sold for 2.3 in 2005, we'll see if / what it closes for but it's certainly 2004 pricing or lower. AND THE PRICES ARE STILL FALLING! (oh, and didn't they have a 2.75 offer not too far back that they dismissed as too low?)

What's also great is the scumbag lying realtors. (like the one at 2:42 who has no idea what the accepted offers are but are listing them in escrow at their last list price) Every house you walk into has "offers" yet they don't sell... could it be that realtors are lying in hopes of getting morons to bid? Yeah, that wouldn't be ethical, gee whiz, did they miss that question on their short multiple choice quiz?). Also priceless is that realtors are now using "open escrows" as a new stat to mislead. Isn't it nice that when the FACTS aren't what you want so you make up a new statistic that can't be tracked? But it does make it easier to notice how many are falling out of escrow, which is also a big number.

And if 827 Hartzell closes for 2.65, that buyer is perhaps the biggest fool in the world / the luckiest seller on the planet.

Oh, and 876 Iliff... bought 8/08 for 1.65 mil... it's a GREAT house that had to cost a TON to build and carry. Doubt that developer is making much but lucky to probably get out with something.

15244 DePauw just sold for $3,425,000.

A house just sold, therefore there is no bubble.

I propose that certain areas like Palisades will be impacted by the bubble burst, but there will ALWAYS be people who desire to live in that area, show off their 5K sq. footer on their 6K lot, and do not really care about bubbles of champagne or bubbles of real estate, burst or otherwise. It just works that way. If you must sell you are definitely going to be in for some hurt if you over paid, if you can just ride you will be fine. That said, people taking hits of $500K in two years in an attempt to unload their home is pretty amazing, and it is happening! The beauty of this blog is the truth of the matter genuinely ends up somewhere in the middle between the realtards and the falling skys. Which makes it all the more entertaining. Bottom line, Pac Pal is a super desirable place to live, despite a few rock bottom dogs, the 3/2s are starting to settle in around the $1-$1.2m mark, right where they should be, and the higher end properties are selling according to buyer desire with no real rationale as to how or why people could pay so much for homes without views and loads of traffic. Buyers just buy 'em, cause ... they can?

No, 15248 DePauw st (next door) just sold for 2,415,000. (the zestimate shows 2.9, btw) LESS THAN WHAT THE SELLERS PAID FOR IT IN 2004!

RE: 15244, define "sold". It's open this weekend and still listed more than they paid in 2007.

Very few people in PP don't care. I live here, I know. Sure there are a handful of people who don't care about a few 100k for the house they're going to live in if they can move right in but as prices continue to go lower, no one wants to pay more than they have to.

Amazing, the scumbag realtors are now coming on this blog and posting lies and deception about actual closing prices. You dirtbags truly have nothing better to do.
