3340 Colonial, LA 90066
2+1, 1168 sqft, SOLD on 10/5/06 for $1020K, 6400 sqft LOT

1168 / 6400 = .182 (HF) Housing Factor
.182 x $1020K = $185K (HV) Housing Value
$185K / 1168 = $158.9 / sqft (P/SQFToH)

1.0 - .182 = .818 (LF) Land Factor
.818 x $1020K = $834.4K (LV) Land Value
$834.4K / 6400 = $130.4 / sqft (P/SQFToL)

158.9 + 130.4 = 289.3 (HPM) House Price Multiplier


3346 Colonial, LA 90066
2+1, 1160 sqft, SOLD on 11/6/06 for $740K, 6490 sqft LOT

1160 / 6490 = .179 (HF)
.179 x $740K = $132.4K (HV)
$132.4K / 1160 = $114.2 / sqft (P/SQFToH)

1.0 - .179 = .821 (LF)
.821 x $740K = $607.6K (LV)
$607.6K / 6490 = $93.6 / sqft (P/SQFToL)

114.2 + 93.6 = 207.8 (HPM) House Price Multiplier


207.8 / 289.8 = .718 (RBX) Rabindex (-28.2%) in 1 month..

Any other observations about Mar Vista out there ?

Those two houses look almost identical, but you have to consider that probably the first one was in much better shape than the second one. What's funny is that probably the second buyer thought he was getting a deal and his/her crap box would sell for 1.5 in two years. Oh, well.

Thats a HUGE drop on Colonial. I doubt the improvements on the fist house is worth $280,000 more than the second house.

Probably, makes borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor a little tense....

I don't think the guys who bought the second house will even try to do that. They will gloat until the first house sells for even less than they paid, and it will be their turn to suffer. Oh, well, just another day in the LA bubble.

Just turned this sale up on Zillow today:

3426 Colonial 90066
Built 1946, 3Br + 2Ba, 1808 sqft, 6578 sqft lot
SOLD 02/04/08 for $747.5K ($413/sqft)

compared to:

12518 Everglade 90066
Built 1946, 4Br + 2Ba, 2076 sqft, 5700 sqft lot
SOLD 09/21/07 for $1195K ($575/sqft)


Is Everglade really worth $447.5K more than Colonial?

Or, have we begun rolling back prices to 2004 or even 2003.....
