Market Snapshot

Misraje Real Estate Partners: West Laurelwood is showing a clear split between what sellers are asking and what buyers are willing to pay. Two active listings are asking an average of $1,578 a foot, while the one home under contract at 11545 Doña Cecilia is priced at $1,114 a foot, a $464 per foot gap that tells you where the current buyer pool is finding agreement. Recent sales over the past year closed at an average of $958 a foot, but that average masks a wide range: premium homes with views and finishes have traded as high as $1,210 a foot, while dated product has closed as low as $675 a foot. The under-contract pricing at $1,114 a foot sits 16% above the 12-month average, which reflects the quality of what is moving right now, remodeled homes with privacy and strong indoor-outdoor flow are commanding a premium over the broader pool.

Active Listings

Jack Misraje: 11454 Doña Evita is asking $3,825,000 at $1,301 a foot, and it has been on the market for eight days. The operative comp here is 11541 Doña Teresa, which closed in May at $927 a foot with view exposure and architectural design, nearly identical in size at 2,966 square feet. The Doña Evita listing is asking 40% above that comp, which is defensible given the renovated condition and privacy, but you are pricing above where similar homes have actually closed. 11401 Doña Evita closed in April at $1,210 a foot with vaulted ceilings and a view, so there is recent evidence of premium pricing in the neighborhood, but that home had features this one does not. The one I keep coming back to is 11411 Doña Teresa, asking $6,495,000 at $1,856 a foot, now at 88 days. The most similar recent comp is again 11541 Doña Teresa at $927 a foot, and this listing is asking double that. Even accounting for the view exposure and 12-foot vaulted ceilings, you are pricing 100% above the operative comp and 95% above the premium comp at 11401 Doña Evita. At that price point, buyers have a lot of options outside the Doñas, and the resistance is both the total dollar amount and the per-foot premium. Worth noting that the under-contract listing at 11545 Doña Cecilia is priced at $1,114 a foot, nearly $750 a foot below what 11411 Doña Teresa is asking, which tells you the active listings are priced well above where buyers are currently engaging.

Under Contract

Misraje Real Estate Partners: 11545 Doña Cecilia went under contract in 15 days at $3,195,000, or $1,114 a foot. The operative comp is 11500 Doña Cecilia, which closed in July at $1,025 a foot with remodeled condition and stronger finishes, a same-street sale that is the right size reference even though the subject is 38% larger. The under-contract listing is asking 9% above that comp, which is reasonable given the turnkey condition, privacy, and the 366-square-foot outdoor cabana that adds functional square footage beyond the main home. Two other recent comps worth naming for context: 11567 Doña Dorotea closed in February at $809 a foot with architectural design and layout quality, and 11401 Doña Evita closed in April at $1,210 a foot with view exposure and vaulted ceilings. The under-contract pricing sits between those two, which makes sense, this is a remodeled home without a view, so it commands a premium over the lower-tier trades but does not reach the view-premium level. The 15-day absorption tells you that buyers responded immediately to the pricing, and the fact that this home is priced $464 a foot below the active listing average confirms that the active listings are priced above current buyer tolerance.

Recent Sales· last 12 months

Karen Misraje: The most recent sale was 11500 Doña Cecilia in July, which closed at $1,025 a foot after 53 days on the market, a remodeled home with stronger finishes that set the current pricing floor for updated product. Before that, 11540 Doña Evita closed in May at $675 a foot with zero days on market, a private deal that likely reflects dated condition or a specific buyer-seller relationship, not a market-rate trade. The premium sale in this window is 11401 Doña Evita, which closed in April at $1,210 a foot after just six days, a home with view exposure, vaulted ceilings, and premium finishes that achieved the highest per-foot price in the trailing 12 months. That $535 per foot spread between the low and high sales is all about product quality, views and finishes command a measurable premium, while dated homes trade well below the average even when the size is comparable.

Misraje Real Estate Partners: West Laurelwood has two active listings and eight sales over the trailing 12 months, which gives us an absorption rate of approximately three months, a seller-leaning pace that suggests supply is moving through the market at a reasonable clip relative to demand. Active listings have been on the market an average of 48 days, and one home is currently under contract after 15 days, which tells you that well-priced homes are attracting buyers quickly while the higher-priced listings are sitting. The average active asking price is $1,578 a foot, which sits 65% above the 12-month closed average of $958 a foot. That gap is significant, and it reflects the fact that the active listings are priced above where the market has been closing. The under-contract listing is priced at $1,114 a foot, which is 16% above the 12-month closed average, and that premium is defensible given the remodeled condition and privacy. The fact that the under-contract pricing sits $464 a foot below the active average tells you that buyers and sellers are finding agreement closer to the $1,100 a foot level for premium product, not at the $1,500 to $1,800 a foot level where the active listings are currently positioned. The recent sales range from $675 a foot to $1,210 a foot, and that spread is all about product quality, so the 12-month average is a weak benchmark for any individual listing. The operative comps for the active listings are the recent view and architectural trades in the $900 to $1,200 a foot range, and the active listings are priced above those comps by a wide margin.
