15919 Miami Way, LA 90272
SFR, 2+1, 1161 sq ft, $1400K SOLD on 10/6/06
1161/6186 = .188(HF) Housing Factor
.188(HF) x $1400K(SP) = $262.8K(HV) Housing Value
$262.8K/1161 = $226.3/sq ft(P/SQFToH)
1.0 - .188 = .812(LF) Land Factor
.812(LF) x $1400K(SP) = $1136.8K(LV) Land Value
$1136K/6186 = $183.8/sq ft(P/SQFToL)
226.3 + 183.8 = 410.1(HPM) House Price Multiplier
15925 Miami Way LA 90272
SFR 4+3, 2176 sq ft, $1394K SOLD on 11/22/06, 6839 sq ft LOT
2176/6839 = .318(HF)
.318 x $1394K = $443.5K(HV)
$443.5K/2176 = $203.8/sq ft(P/SQFToH)
1.0 - .318 = .682(LF)
.682 x $1394K = $950.7K(LV)
$950.7K/6839 = $139.0/sq ft(P/SQFToL)
203.8 + 139.0 = 342.8(HPM) House Price Multiplier
(HPM)342.8/410.1(HPM) = .836(RBX)Rabindex -16.4% in 1.5 months!
I would caution that in Pacific Palisades lot sizes are squirrely because often large portions of the lot are unusable hillside. Also ocean /canyon views can vary dramatically from lot to lot.
Yes, mountainous areas are more difficult. HPM and RBX are to be used as a BASELINE, whereas some adjustments maybe necessary in areas where view, lot irregularity, slope, or newer construction has occurred. In addition, the type of building materials needs to be considered.
However, you can get a good idea using the HPM and RBX method to see if, the AMOUNT of PRICE INCREASE is JUSTIFIED.
Any other observations about Pacific Palisades out there ?
16736 Calle Arbolada LA 90272
4+4, 3361 sqft, SOLD on 8/8/06 for $2049K, 5131 sqft LOT
3361 / 5131 = .655 (HF)
.655 x $2049K = $1342.1K (HV)
$1342.1K / 3361 = $399.3 / sqft (P/SQFToH)
1.0 - .655 = .345 (LF)
.345 x $2049K = $706.9K (LV)
$706.9K / 5131 = $137.8 / sqft (P/SQFToL)
399.3 + 137.8 = 537.1 (HPM) House Price Multiplier
16736 Calle Arbolada LA 90272
4+4, 3206 sqft, SOLD on 11/9/06 for $1700K, 4992 sqft LOT
3206 / 4992 = .642 (HF)
.642 x $1700K = $1091.8K (HV)
$1091.8K / 3206 = $340.5 / sqft (P/SQFToH)
1.0 - .642 = .358 (LF)
.358 x $1700K = $608.6K (LV)
$608K / 4992 = $121.9 / sqft (P/SQFToL)
340.5 + 121.9 = 462.4 (HPM) House Price Multiplier
(HPM) 462.4 / 537.1 (HPM) = .861 (RBX) Rabindex (-13.9%)

remodeled for $125.0
Purchased fall '07 for $2405.0
Excellent meltdown on Albright. That is an 11% drop by my calculations after the remodel expense. That doesn't even include taxes, commission etc.
Also, remember that sale CLOSED in 7/07 and probably was sold sometime between April or May. Well before the first of 2 credit crunches. I would bet it has dropped another 9% at least by now, bringing it closer to 20% off it's peak.
Way to go on finding this one. If more people provide information such as this, buyers and sellers will be better informed about the TRUE market conditions. Keep up the good work!
Real Estate IS the BIG STORY in 2008.....
pending meltdown at 958 Embury St.
current owner bought 12/29/06 for $2.5m. Just listed this week for $2750.0. take out 5% commission and they net, at asking, $2,613.
I smell a meltdown!!!!
It will be interesting to see IF it sells and for what price. Bought in Dec of 06 it could have a "toxic loan". Possible foreclosure candidate...
Dataquick report for January 08' in Pacific Palisades:
18 houses sold @ $2100K median price (-10.6%) YOY
3 condos sold @ $625K median price (-23.2%) YOY
958 Embury dropped listing price to $2650. Can you say "underwater"!
The Highlands area of the Palisades has about 10 homes about or well over 3 million that are just NOT selling. Owners are not reducing the prices enough given the huge gains they are currently sitting on. Something has to give.
