I love your blog. And I find Sunset Park and Ocean Park to be very interesting markets.

That being said, I think the majority of posters here really are only interested in commenting on the 90402 so if you want a lively discussion, post more on each house that sells in the 90402.

But it is your blog so do what you want.

oh man...$1,000,000 for that p.o.s.? People must still be thinking there's a market for mortgage backed securities or something. This place is a dump.

Actually, I'm not at all interested in 90402 and really appreciate OP and Venice posts, so you have it about right.

The 90402 situation is just about baked; price drop of 30% off peak, sales still happening because that demographic will always have money.

90405 is more interesting, with a $729k conforming loan within the reach of a large pool of buyers. The decision point is the same as before - spend the extra $100-200k to live in SM versus surrounding LA zips?

2304 cloverfield just sold

Thanks for the post. I was looking at the Cloverfield home, decided to walk the neighborhood at night and was a little turned off by the gang types. Then I found out that these same neighborhood gang types had murdered someone in Virginia ave park recently - and the park was only one block away. Needless to say I was disappointed that it would cost me 800 thousand dollars in order to live near that crowd.

I would characterize that neighborhood as not really trading at a premium over West LA. You get better police and schools in that neighborhood, but perhaps more proximity to the gang types.

So the choice of that neighborhood vs West LA is not money, it comes down to other things
