In 2013, my clients paid $900,000 for a house in Glassell Park. If I remember right, a local news site wrote up the sale, and the comments were not kind. People couldn't believe anyone would pay that much for a house here.
My clients are still there. And that house is worth a lot more now.
I'm Breanne Wahl, a Los Angeles real estate agent with ACME | SERHANT. I represented the buyers of 2000 Panamint Drive, a renovated 1960 home in Glassell Park with three bedrooms, two baths, a pool and views.
A house that's hard to find
It sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, high in the hills, on about half an acre. Inside, it's bright and breezy, with vaulted ceilings and rooms that open straight to the yard. A quiet street, a pool and a view don't come together often in this part of Los Angeles.
Winning with multiple offers
It was listed at $799,000 and drew multiple offers. This is where relationships matter. I knew the listing agent well, and we had worked together for years. That meant fast, clear communication, and an offer from a buyer's agent she trusted to get to the finish line. My clients won, and it closed at $900,000 in July 2013.
Why "overpaid" is the wrong question
A home is worth what someone will pay for it that day. The better question is whether it's the right home, and whether you'll stay. My clients found a house they love, on a street they love, and they've been there ever since.
