430 N Highland is now 3,299,000 for almost 6000 square feet of ultra high quality down-to-the-studs (on existing) + new construction (second story and basement) Hancock Park Home.  It has 8 beds and 7.5 baths!!! There’s plumbing and electrical in place for a pool.  The garage can either be a garage or a family room off the kitchen.  The basement has light wells, a separate side entrance, and is huge! There’s so much off-street parking.  From a replacement cost perspective, it’s an insanely good deal to buy a house of this size and this quality in this neighborhood for the current price.  

308 N Sycamore Unit 108 will now be offered for sale and for lease.  The sale price is 1,625,000.  The lease price is 8000 a month.  When properties go up for sale and for lease, historically they’ve leased immediately.  So this is likely a last call for offers to purchase pristine and immaculate, gated and safe 308 N Sycamore #108.  

We have 2 offers in hand on the lovely character-filled 644 S Highland, offered for 2,700,0000.  Two additional buyers scheduled to come back again to today’s open house 1-4 to make a decision on their offer and price.  It’s fun to walk through this house to see the owners’ custom floor-to-ceiling library with all lit up shelves.  It’s a treat to experience this house for the historical character and charm, the artistic way it’s dressed, and the detailed way it was restored by the owners.  

I’m excited to begin showings at 527 N Cherokee.  It’s fun to check out the brand new designer landscaping front and back!  It’s interesting to analyze and notice what a difference some plants can make!!  I especially love the 2 tall cypress trees and the way they accent the Spanish architecture + stained glass windows.  And the staggered pots with interesting plants on both the front porch and back deck steps.  I love that this house has 4 large light-filled bedroom suites upstairs with walk-in closets.  And the brand new kitchen with Viking appliances, and 5.5 new baths, and family room that opens to the outside deck and pool.  This offering is a lot of house for the money!

We are proud to present 3 new-to-the-market properties for lease.  132 N Alta Vista is a 3000+ square foot remodeled Miracle Mile house with 4 bedroom suites and a kitchen + Passover kitchen + 2 bonus rooms + back house offered for 9000/mt.  625 N Fuller is a 2 story ADU with soaring high ceilings and a loft-like flex space layout overlooking a sparkling pool in a private, gated, secure yard in a central location offered for 5000/mt.  626 N Gramercy is a Hancock Park Craftsman with 2 beds, 2 baths, and an office/den + garage + front porch offered for 4750.  We just lowered the price on our lease at 125 N Mansfield to 5995 and since the price drop we’re slammed with showings.  Reach out any time to see any of these great spots!

Interest rates went down this week!  With a relationship discount they go lower. Some buyers, looking to lock in a lower rate, are buying down their rate at purchase so that after a one time fee at initiation, their monthly payments feel more right. Citi is the best place to call first to explore the lowest rate on a 30 year fixed loan.

Seth and I are en route to the East Coast for our sweet nephew, Avi’s wedding, which is emotional and special.  Of course it also means we countdown the seconds to see the grandkids!!!!!  Eliyahu doesn’t love Facetime because the phone is no substitute for being together “for real”, and you can’t really hug or kiss over the phone.  Tomorrow, as soon as Eliyahu’s playgroup ends, comes the giant bear hugs (with lots of sound effects) and so many kisses to make up for all the time we missed out because we’re too far away too often!!!!

It’s glorious out today, perfect to check out some beautiful houses – come visit!
