Sold On Westwood: Who Lives In Westwood?

Prices for condos in Westwood are higher then for homes. There are now 100 condos for sale in Westwood between 1 and 5 million dollars.

Let me ask you a few questions:

Who lives in Westwood -- condominium or home dwellers?

Most homeowners in Westwood buy single family homes, don't they?

As to prices, homes are always worth more than condos, correct?

NO!  Here's the real scoop.

Normally home prices in Los Angeles exceed condo prices, that is true but not in Westwood.  There has not been a home that has sold in Westwood in 2011 for over 3 million dollars but there have been 6 condos that have sold over $3,000,000.

Westwood continues to be unique.

Presently there are over 100 condos for sale between $1 and $5 million in Westwood.

Westwood/Century City are our sophisticated areas of Los Angeles.  We are not a downtown community with wall to wall cement structures and no suburban green belts, we have an uniqueness not seen in other major cities.  We encompass a diversity of environments which is urbane without being stifling.  We are hi-rise buildings, world class university, major medical center, gated rolling estates and the most beautiful park in Los Angeles.  We are a complete center upon ourselves.

Westwood now has more expensive condos for sale then homes.

Oddly though, the actual number of homes that have sold do exceed the number of condos that sold. So far in 2011 there have been 99 homes sold and only 66 condos but many of the condos that sold were over $3 million dollars each.

There are now 27 homes in escrow in Westwood over a million dollars.

We have an unique and strong neighborhood.  "The times they are a changing!"
