After more than half a year since the disastrous Palisades fire, much has changed.

Santa Monica and the surrounding real estate markets saw an immediate increase in activity—both in the number of transactions and in prices. Now, six months later, those metrics have settled back to pre-fire levels.

After more than half-a-year since the disastrous Palisades fire, setting aside the conflicts that victims who have lost their homes and belongings are having with insurance companies and the LA City Building Department, much has changed.

I have not written since before the fire. Although my home was not in danger, this fire really shook me up.

In the aftermath of the fire, my team and I focused on helping people find housing—leasing homes, selling properties—but what we didn’t do was call Santa Monica homeowners asking if they wanted to sell. That felt grotesque.

I wasn’t surprised to see properties that had been sitting on the market suddenly sell after the fire, but what did surprise me was how quickly prices skyrocketed—some homes even closed for millions over asking.

Now that the dust has settled, I’m getting calls from homeowners wondering where Santa Monica prices are headed—will they keep rising, plateau, or drop?

The real estate market can be full of surprises - good and bad.

🚗💨Time to slow down Santa Monica!

In what I expect will be a mixed reaction by residents, along with several dozen other streets, Montana Avenue is about to see a speed limit reduction to 25 MPH. With an upsetting number of pedestrian vs car collisions, most feel this change is long overdue.

In late August, the Santa Monica City Council held a meeting in which members unanimously voted to lower speed limits on 29 streets and to slightly increase the limit on just one 0.3-mile stretch, (the California Incline will now be 30 MPH).

A final vote this week is expected to solidify the new limits and they are set to take effect in just 30 days - lighting speed for Santa Monica elected officials!

In addition to Montana Avenue’s new limit of 25 MPH, 11th Street, 14th Street and 26th Street will all see reductions from 30 to 25 MPH.
