Million Dollar Price Reduction in the Hollywood Hills

By
Real Estate Agent with COMPASS DRE# 01339266

It's clear that the Real Estate Market is down across the board. While it is true that the market is weaker in certain States, no-one can argue that not all price levels have been hit by this major downturn.

Today while reviewing the Combined Westside/Los Angeles MLS (CLAW), I came across a million dollar price reduction for a property situated at 1401 Oriole Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90069 (part of the Hollywood Hills).

"MILLION DOLLAR REDUCTION! This architectural compound designed by Robert Offenhauser is the ultimate trophy in the "Bird" streets." MLS Listing by Hilton & Hyland.

This 5 Bed 6.5 Bath property was listed in February this year with a $17,500,000 price tag.

Today it's been reduced by a whopping $1 Million to $16,500,000.

It goes to show that every segment of the market is feeling the strain.

Should offer that as a $1 Million BTSA and I bet agents would transfer or get licensed for a shot to sell that listing.

But, the bigger question, is whether or not it is still over priced!

Thats a headliner of a price reduction.  Probably does not do that much in that price range though.  Maybe a couple of my sellers will drop their price $5000.

That's about a 6% reduction. Not bad, but not shocking. It's just that most of us will never see a house that expensive.  I hope you sell it Stuart.

All the best!
