Two houses. Same Encino zip code. Same week. One sold nine percent over asking — the other closed twelve percent under.

That’s not a market problem. That’s a positioning problem. Encino is at $747 a square foot right now, up nearly 10% year over year, while Brentwood sits at $989. Same square footage, roughly 25% less, on flat half-acre lots the Westside physically cannot build anymore.

And the best of it? You never see it. A $7M estate on Libbit closed at full price with zero days on market. It sold before the public knew it existed.

Every September, sellers ask me the same question. Almost all of them get the answer wrong.

“Should I list now, or wait for spring?” The national data says spring — Realtor.com pegged April 12–18 as the best week to sell in 2026. More views, nine days faster, higher price. That’s real.

But that’s a study of median American homes. Los Angeles luxury doesn’t run on the school calendar. The buyer writing at fifteen million isn’t waiting for April. And here’s what nobody mentions: when every seller waits for spring, spring is where your competition lives. Fall is thin. Thin inventory is leverage.

The season is a rounding error. Preparation isn’t.

The appraisal is the second negotiation. Almost nobody prepares for it.

You won the offer. Now a stranger with a clipboard walks a house that has three real comps in the entire neighborhood — and writes a number your lender is going to treat as gospel. Above two million, many jumbo lenders order TWO appraisals and underwrite to the lower one.

Here’s the part nobody uses: you have a formal right to request a Reconsideration of Value. One per appraisal. Up to five comps. It has to be resolved before you close.

I don’t just list properties. I position them — including for the appraiser. Permits, floor plans, build costs, and the right comps, handed over before the appointment.

There are two mansion tax measures on the November ballot. Your agent has probably mentioned zero of them.

Measure U-L-A takes 4% of the full sale price above $5.4M, and 5.5% above $10.9M. Not the profit — the whole number. On August 4th, LA City Council voted 13–1 to let voters decide whether Palisades fire-damaged homes get exempt until 2030. Separately, a statewide Howard Jarvis initiative qualified for that same ballot, and it would cap local transfer taxes entirely.

One measure trims the tax. The other winds it down. If you’re selling above $5M inside city limits, those are not the same conversation. Don’t gamble on an election — but don’t price like it isn’t happening either.

“Can we just sell it quietly?”

I get asked this every single week. And going off-market IS a real strategy — but it’s not a free one, and almost nobody explains the actual cost.

The rules quietly changed. NAR added Delayed Marketing Exempt Listings. Zillow now enforces Listing Access Standards — publicly marketed and not on the MLS within one business day means Zillow won’t show your home. Ever. Zillow and Compass are literally in federal court over it right now.

Here’s the part that matters: price is a function of competition. Ten qualified buyers produce a higher number than one. Every buyer you remove is leverage you gave away. There are exactly four situations where quiet is the right call — comment or call me and I’ll tell you if you’re in one of them.

Los Angeles wealth is going vertical, and the Q2 numbers just proved it.

Condo sales across L.A. jumped 22% quarter over quarter (The Real Deal, via Compass research). Westwood/Century City led by deal count — 147 sales, averaging about $1.5M. But that average is a volume number, not a luxury number. At the top, a three-bedroom at Park Elm in the Century Plaza closed at $10.7M in July.

Nobody pays that because they couldn’t get a house. They pay it because they ran the math. Fire-zone insurance, staff, landscape, systems, security — the annual carry on a hillside estate can rival the mortgage. A tower outsources all of it. Lock the door, fly to London, come home to exactly what you left.

Selling a Westside house between $4M and $10M? The tower down the street is now competing for your buyer. Price and position accordingly.

That $250K grotto? It sells for basically nothing. 😬

Here’s what most agents won’t tell you: not all luxury comes back to you at resale. In LA, a pool is expected — but building a new one rarely returns half its cost. Renovating the one you have? That’s where the money is.

Theater rooms and saunas are cooling. Bold paint and koi ponds scare buyers off. And the #1 way affluent sellers lose money is over-improving past the neighborhood.

I don’t just list properties. I position them. DM me before you spend a dollar on that “value-add.”

The most powerful negotiating chip in LA luxury right now? The insurance quote.

California’s FAIR Plan — the insurer of last resort — has ballooned past 680,000 policies, and Malibu, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills are now a giant share of that risk. This fall a ~29% rate hike lands on new and renewal policies. On a fire-zone estate, that premium can move your entire price ceiling.

Buyers: get your quote BEFORE you’re in contract. Sellers: pre-shop a clean, transferable policy for your buyer. I don’t just list properties. I position them.
