By
Real Estate Agent with COMPASS DRE# 01339266

High-end condos in the City of West Hollywood continued to achieve high prices despite a depressed Real Estate market in 2011.

It was all about the views ..... Sierra Towers, the famous celebrity-filled high-rise located just off Sunset Boulevard at 9255 Doheny Road, achieved the highest sales prices in the area for 2011.

$3,225,000 for a 2-Bed 2-Bath unit measuring 2300 sq ft. That's over $1400 per sq ft!

Other notable sales include a penthouse at 855 Croft Avenue, originally listed at almost $1.4 Milliion, eventually sold for $1,240,000 .....

Not to be forgotton is the well-known Empire West at 100 Alta Loma Road in West Hollywood, which usually records some of the highest prices in the area. In 2011 there was one sale worth noting - a 2-Bed 3-Bath condo originally listed at $1,699,000 that finally sold for $1,050,000 after 271 days on the market.

I checked the high price recorded on The MLS in Sierra Towers for 2007:

The very same condo that sold at over $1400 per sq ft ($3,225,000) in 2011 sold for almost $1800 per sq ft back in 2007 ($3,750,000).

This $525,000 loss represents a decrease of 14% in value.

Stewart, market price is all about perception of value and these stats confirm a unique niche market in play. Clearly, real estate is local!
