LA’s luxury home market shows slow recovery in May “During May, the scarcity of luxury home sales in Los Angeles continued for a second straight month with a slight improvement. From May 1 to May 30, the City of Los Angeles recorded 10 sales with prices above $5 million. About 17 homes in that price range went under contract in Los Angeles in the month, according to research by Amalfi Estates agency in Pacific Palisades. In April, following implementation of the city’s Measure ULA transfer tax on real estate deals, only two sales above $5 million took place. By comparison, for the past two years, on average, 50 deals over $5 million closed each month, said Anthony Marguleas, founder of Amalfi Estates. “It’s not the 50 transactions we are used to seeing,” Marguleas said of the L.A. market. “But we are moving in the right direction, even with the Writers Guild strike, concern over the debt ceiling and recent bank closings.” “A fight is brewing at Barrington Plaza, where Douglas Emmet is booting residents from nearly 600 apartments in the largest eviction in Los Angeles. The Santa Monica-based real estate investment trust is evicting tenants from 577 occupied rent-controlled units to install fire sprinklers at 11740 Wilshire Boulevard, in Sawtelle, the Los Angeles Times reported. The tenants are being evicted under the Ellis Act, a state law that allows landlords to remove tenants from rent-controlled apartments if their building is taken off the rental market. When evictions are complete, a total 712 units will be affected. But some residents, many who have been given four months notice to leave the 61-year-old complex, say they’ll fight to stay. Others, who are at least 62 or disabled, have up to one year to get out. A haunted mansion in Beverly Hills is put up for sale, with rumors of ghost sightings and unexplained phenomena driving up interest among paranormal enthusiasts. A new luxury condo building in downtown Los Angeles is built entirely out of recycled materials, including old shipping containers and repurposed wood.
