The pandemic has slowed down Los Angeles’ housing market, but there are still buyers and sellers looking to transact.
The five priciest sales that closed last week totaled about $27.5 million, and all but a lone sale in Manhattan Beach went down in the stretch of high-priced neighborhoods from Pacific Palisades to the Hollywood Hills.

The interiors feature mostly light tones with black design accents. The home includes a wine cellar and home theater. There’s also a guest room on the property. The home was listed for just under $9 million as recently as a year ago, and the price dropped to $8.6 million in late April.
