Frank Lloyd Wright was fired after designing his favorite masterpiece. Featured image credit: Kyle Magnuson Perhaps it’s not as true as it once was, but there was a time when it seemed every American held a core memory from childhood of building something. Towers of wooden blocks. Fortresses of couch cushions and blankets. Castles of […]
Featured image credit: Afpeach It would be a passably snappy intro to drop a statement like, “There’s only one Broadway”, but it’s not exactly true, is it? Of course, there’s Broadway in Manhattan, a concrete river veritably flowing with theatre. That would be the Broadway that everyone knows. But what about the Broadway in Chennai, […]
July was a bit more predictable than June in the Greater Los Angeles housing market. For one, we sold even more homes, indicative of the summer surge we experience every year at this time as families take advantage of the break from school. The drops and surges were also more modest in July; no double-digit […]
Featured image credit: JGKlein If you’ve been keeping up with our Neighborhood Watch series, you might get a taste of déjà vu from today’s focal point. But we assure you, Encino has its own distinct flavor, regardless of bordering both Reseda and Sherman Oaks, which we’ve previously covered. We didn’t mean to scrutinize so much […]

If we’re looking at it purely from the perspective of land area, it’s the third-largest city in California (bigger than San Francisco and Sacramento) and the 43rd biggest city in the country, measuring […]
In early June this year, JohnHart REALTOR® Kelli Dunaway was likely experiencing a much-appreciated case of déjà vu. It’s then she received a notification from the San Gabriel Valley News that she (for the second time) had been voted a Favorite REALTOR® of the San Gabriel Valley. People from around the region sent in their […]
Featured image credit: Sansculotte When it comes to houses for rent Los Angeles architecture buffs would adore, the supply can be pretty tight. That’s not to say we lack architectural wonders. Few other American cities can give you Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows across the street from a historically significant Craftsman home neighboring a modern brutalist […]
You might even find a few mechanical bulls mixed in. Featured image credit: Sassafras Saloon Let’s be honest: we don’t get a lot of people looking for an authentic hoedown in LA. It’s a place where the city slickers are extra slick; where the palm tree is greater than the prairie rose; where the emphasis […]
When we started publishing these absorption rates every month, we’d never in a million years have predicted we’d hit a point in which the neighborhood with the highest surge toward a seller’s market was also our lowest absorption rate for the month.
