More homes sold in October at a lower median, one month after the biggest sale the neighborhood has seen in years.
Los Feliz closed October with 24 single family homes sold, up from 18 in September. The median sold price fell 14.8 percent to $2,225,935, and total volume fell 15.7 percent to $65.8 million. That volume drop needs context: September's total included one $24.75 million sale, the Cecil B. DeMille estate in Laughlin Park.
Against last October, the median fell from $2,660,000 to $2,225,935 and total volume slipped 9.5 percent, on almost the same number of sales, 24 versus 23. Price per square foot moved the other way, up 8.0 percent to $1,054. A lower median with a higher price per foot usually means smaller homes sold, not that homes lost value. Sellers averaged 100.2 percent of list price, up from 98.6 percent a year ago.

Los Feliz closes roughly a dozen to two dozen single family homes in a typical month, so any single month swings on which houses happen to trade. Read the trend, not the last digit.
A $24.75 million September
The sale of the fall was 2000 De Mille Drive, the estate Cecil B. DeMille bought in 1916 and lived in until his death in 1959. It sits behind the gates of Laughlin Park, one of the most storied enclaves in California, and it closed in September at $24.75 million, about a third of that month's total volume. Set it aside and October's volume is actually up about 23 percent. The full story is in our piece on the Laughlin Park estate sale.
It wasn't the only big number. September also saw 4520 Dundee Drive at $7.38 million and 3842 Carnavon Way at $6.14 million. In October, 2666 Aberdeen Avenue led at $7.5 million, followed by 2230 Nottingham Avenue at $5.4 million, 2558 Glendower Avenue at $5.13 million and 5700 Holly Oak Drive at $4.87 million. Buyers at the top of this market are active.
More sales, a lower median

What it means if you're selling
With inventory down 16 percent from a year ago, sellers face less competition, and homes are closing right around asking. But at 53 days, buyers aren't rushing, so the price has to be right from the start. It's easy to find an agent who will tell you what you want to hear. I'd rather tell you what you need to hear on day one, backed by what's actually closing on your street. A good place to start is what your Los Feliz home is worth. If your home is historic, read about selling a Mills Act or HCM home. And if you'd rather not test the open market at all, there is always the off-market route.
Is Los Feliz a seller's market in 2026?
