Here are the biggest resi sales in LA County

The five most expensive homes that sold in Los Angeles County last week combined for $31.2 million, a dip from recent totals in the area.

The priciest home sale last week was a $12 million Holmby Hills mansion that was built in the 1960s by a noted architect. From there, prices plummet to around $5 million. The other homes are located in Bel Air, Brentwood, Encino and Venice.

While last week’s total is well below the $73 million recorded in the first week of November, the amounts can sharply swing from week to week, and there have been lower amounts. August saw totals of just under $30 million.

The data and information was compiled from the Multiple Listing Service, Redfin and Zillow from Nov. 13-19.

This 16,000-square foot property was built by architect William Hefner in 1964. The home abuts the Holmby Hills and Bel Air neighborhoods, and includes views of Bel Air West and the Pacific Ocean. Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland, and Drew Gitlin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California had the listing. Gitlin also represented the buyer, who purchased the entire parcel at approximately $750 per square foot.

Another mid-century Bel Air mansion that sold, this home went for 67 percent over its $3.3 million acquisition price in 2017, according to Zillow.
