Terra Firma LA Reports Mega Mansion Home Sales Collapse in Los Angeles

While much of the U.S. struggled in 2008, sales of homes in Los Angeles over $10 million did well through July. Since then, however, sales have fallen off a cliff, according to the latest report from Terra Firma LA.

Los Angeles, CA, December 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The mega mansions of Los Angeles have taken a big hit.

In its latest report, Terra Firma LA releases new numbers on the sales of eight-figure homes – those priced $10 million and above – in Los Angeles which show sales have fallen tremendously in the second half of this year.

For much of the year – while the rest of the world suffered – the mega-mansions of L.A. continued selling. Through the first quarter of 2008, sales of $10 million homes were on a record pace. Even through the first half of this year, sales of $10 million+ homes were still on record pace. But since July 29th, just one home has sold for $10 million or more, according to the Combined Los Angeles-Westside MLS. This includes the prime areas of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Malibu and Brentwood. One other sale was likely more than $10 million.

But considering there were 26 such sales through July 29th, to have just two sales since then shows how much even the top end of the housing market has suffered.
