I guess I really don't understand LA house pricing.
I see shacks listed for a million, or is that only SF?
This is 2.3 acres with 3 homes on it and its 15 million.
Although looks like it needs some work.
David Lynch LA House

Re: David Lynch LA House
#22Love this compound and all the hiking paths up around in the surrounding hills. Truly an peaceful property to immerse yourself in work and entertaining! Property taxes are gonna spike for the new buyer though due to prop 13 so make sure to factor that into your offer vs the $15k a year in the listing... Hopefully whoever buys this gem doesn't tear it down to build some modern boxy McMansion.
Looking at the full set of photos in the Zillow link that esalman posted, sorry, but that kitchen has gotta go.
Incredible kitchen! With the narrow tall doors, brass knobs, and nice touch with the all-pistachio countertops.

#23Anyone know anything about those fluted V-shaped panels everywhere? They look like very heavy cast iron.
The house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son. Maybe he was influenced by the concrete blocks from the Millard House. https://www.architecturelab.net/millard-house-frank-lloyd-wr...

#25I wonder if the price would be significantly different if it wasn't David Lynch's house.
Looking at other houses in the neighborhood, it's probably about 10-15% because it's the Lynch residence, and the rest of it is the extent of the land, the number of houses, and, of course, the place where it is.
By way of contrast, this is listed for 2.5x the money on the other side of the canyon:

LA is huge and just like SF has neighborhoods so does LA except sprawled over way more acreage. LA is slightly cheaper than SF because it’s so large geographically - in SF you can drive across the city in 30 minutes. LA is several hours across.

#27Actually didn't know Frank had an architect son. Personally I prefer the Millard House which is similar and probably an inspiration. The Millard House is the archetype Minecraft House.
What a dreary sad anachronistic description.
I mean looking at the structures it's kind of warranted.

i lived about a half mile from this house in the same neighborhood -- it could be a lot more expensive if it had the view some properties around there have.
note that mulholland dr is just up the street from the house. this overlook is worth a visit: https://maps.app.goo.gl/muMirzaSJsEt9YnR7

I'll bet the seller makes a hell of a Caucasian!
(Although I guess it isn't really Jackie Treehorn's place, given that the listing says it was built in 2023.)

Its pretty easy to understand actually, and all of metropolitan California is the same way- A normal, dual income, middle class working family has an income of ~$250K-$500K (Doctor + teacher, Lawyer and a Doctor, Business exec and Accountant, etc) and they're going to spend upwards of ~40% of their income on their house. thats going to have them spending $6K-$11K. Now they can handle a $1M home no problem. 3 bed 2 bath shitbox from the 70s sure thing... Anything to live in California. Same house in Kansas City is $300K but whatever. However, for them to go after a $2.5M+ property you need real money, a $5M house even more... you aren't working a normal person job to spend the estimated lifetime earnings of most Americans on a house... it just aint happening. So anything after ~$5M is a VASTLY better deal then the rat race housing.
All of these dynamics can be figured out pretty easy thanks to prop 13, Californias insane income taxes, and the job market... if you can figure out a way to buy a house, hold on to it for dear life, never move, and work your entire life to pay for it. The only thing more consistent than people in the northeast wanting to move to California are death and taxes, which coincidentally prop 13 covers. lol
