SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY’S MARKET REPORT SHOWS A STRONG FINISH TO 2015 FOR PACIFIC PALISADES
LOS ANGELES – January 14, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — The latest Sotheby’s International Realty Greater Los Angeles Market Report reveals that Pacific Palisades more than doubled the number of luxury homes sold in the last quarter of 2015 versus the last quarter of 2014.
From October-December, 28 homes sold in the Palisades for more than $3 million, which was a 133 percent increase over the 12 homes sold during the same period last year. The other big mover was the Beverly Hills Post Office submarket, which sold 19 $3 million+ homes, four more than last year. Brentwood (24 homes), Beverly Hills (21) and Sunset Strip (21) also made the top five with relatively consistent year-over-year totals.
“The continuing Rick Caruso redevelopment plan for Palisades Village, coupled with many single family home investors flowing into the market, has made Pacific Palisades one of the most consistent luxury markets throughout 2015 with steadily increasing sales volume and prices,” said Frank Symons, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Sotheby’s International Realty – Western Region. “This consistency, along with what we are seeing in other desired markets such as Malibu and Beverly Hills, underscores the ongoing strength of luxury real estate in Southern California.”
