Could this mean things are coming to a head in the Westside?
MLS 07-205207

Not sure that's indicative of anything. If you use other streets as comps, you'll miss the fact that Ohio is a narrow but key thoroughfare for the Westside...
This is very helpful
Inventory doesn't tell the whole story obviously.
(plug for SM Distress Monitor)
Check out the individual that bought a vacant lot and is putting up a new home South of Montana for $4 million plus
This is a $4 million plus home that will never appear on the inventory lists
Drive around 90402 and you see many many such situations
why don't you call up the individual putting up the $4 million plus house South of Montana - he is not a speculator he will live there. He is easy to talk to
Seems like people on this blog don't want to explore this issue - don't want to hear the truth
plenty of groupthink
Check this out. Compared to the houses listed below, the 90402 is a crazy bargain

Luxury market still red hot
While the rest of Southern California is being buffeted by the Santa Ana winds of the housing downturn, the luxury end of the market is blissfully humming along.
Sorry for the turgidly mixed metaphors. But I just received the latest sales numbers for the Westside and it appears that sales of multimillion-dollar homes are outpacing last year's stats by a tad.
Year to date, 206 sales closed at $5 million or more, compared to 211 for all of 2006. What's more, 50 of those sales were for more than $10 million, the same as for all of last year.
So far, the biggest sale this year was to actor Tom Cruise, who paid $35 million for a Beverly Hills estate last spring. Joining him in the cavalcade of multi-multimillion-dollar deals this year was Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com and, if you haven't heard, the Beckhams, who paid about $22 million for the former mansion of Northrop Grumman chief Kent Kresa, according to county records.
"Looks like the sub-prime debacle has not hurt the high end yet," says Cecelia Kennelly-Waeschle, a Sotheby's International Realty agent in Malibu, who is the keeper of "the list."
For the last decade or so, Kennelly-Waeschle has been keeping track of high-end sales stretching from Bel-Air to Malibu to Marina del Rey. Her list is often more thorough than what's available from DataQuick Information Systems, because she can get her Realtor buddies to reveal the sales prices on deals that they successfully keep out of the public record.
A couple of the latest transactions included one for $27 million in the exclusive gated community of Beverly Park and four deals in the double-digit millions in Brentwood Country Estates, the area's other exclusive gated community. Also, the late Johnny Carson's estate in Malibu sold earlier this year for a cool $33 million
Yet the house on San Vicente asking $22.5M hasn't sold.... Don't those buyers know what a bargain it is?!
HA!!!
Here we go again with the 90402. Can someone please explain the obsession on this blog with that gosh-darned zip code?? It's become such a huge issue that it deserves its own blog entry and discussion, focused on why the heck everyone keeps talking about this area of SM.

NO, things aren't where they should be yet. This turkey-time seller has taxes of ca. $5400/yr, meaning he has ca. $440K invested--plus maybe some remodeling. $839K is price-gauging for a condo in that area built in 1974.
