Three of the five priciest residential properties to sell in Los Angeles County last week were in Beverly Hills, including a $17 million home that took the top spot.
Combined, all five sales totaled $46.2 million, well above the amount recorded in recent weeks. Luxury buyers and sellers are beginning to return, as L.A. continues to open up for business.
But the pandemic has taken a toll, further cutting into overall residential sales, which had been declining even before the virus took hold.
Still, some of L.A.’s top agents think the months-long shutdown created pent-up demand for luxury properties, though not at the asking prices that sellers seek.
This list was compiled with data from Redfin and other sources for deals closing between June 16 and June 22.
