What an Operator Sees
The story isn't that a home sold for $6.5 million. The story is that another buyer stepped up and paid market value in Pacific Palisades.
There's been no shortage of opinions about where the Palisades market is headed. I prefer to follow the comps. Every quality sale reduces uncertainty and gives owners, builders, lenders, and buyers another real benchmark for what the market is willing to pay.
If you're rebuilding, don't underwrite your project based on hope. Underwrite it based on actual transactions. One sale doesn't define the market—but dozens of sales do. That's why I track every meaningful sale. The data tells the story long before the headlines catch up.
I track every Pacific Palisades sale in Los Angeles so you don't have to.
