Often people ask me about the market north of Wilshire and south of Montana Ave.
The average lot size in Franklin School district, single family, 90403, is 8,000 sqft (on 50X160 lots). Like 90402, the prices for land north of Wilshire have exploded this year with one property - 911 22nd St, listed on the MLS for $1,550,000 and generating offers as high as $1.8M. With a $1.8M land acquisition, we can expect the developer, using the usual formula- 50% of the back-end sale for land cost, to build a home with a minimum potential resale value of $3.6M. There have been north of Wilshire spec homes offered in the low $4M’s recently that have failed to sell. It seems the sweet spot for a well-designed, large new home north of Wilshire is probably $3.6 - $3.9M max.
Right now in the 90403 market there are only 3 homes available for sale. There are 15 north of Montana Ave, excluding SM Canyon. There have been 25 sales north of Wilshire recorded in the MLS. North of Montana there are 58.
