A few days ago, we wrote about several large Malibu homes affected by the devastating Woolsey Fire. After publishing the post, we were almost immediately contacted by our old friend U.N. Owen, real estate expert. Ol’ Mr. Owen inquired as to whether the Malibu home of Viswas Raghavan was still standing. “Huh?! What are you […]

It’s no secret that the mountains above Beverly Hills are chock-full of Hollywood veterans. And there’s hardly a more ideal illustration of that fact than the cul-de-sac we shall discuss today. Located in the Coldwater Canyon area of Beverly Hills Hills Post Office (BHPO), the barely-there street contains just six homes. According to Yolanda’s research, […]

As the rich get ever-richer, so too do their luxury properties grow larger. Buying the next-door neighbor’s house is all the rage in the Platinum Triangle. After all, seems like everyone’s got a big mansion these days. To really stand out from the herd, you need a compound. The latest person to get in on […]

Ready for this one? Fasten them safety belts. Although the sale has not yet officially recorded in public records, Yolanda has now heard from three different little birdies that there’s a monstrous and very hush-hush deal going down in the mountains above Beverly Hills, in an area known as Beverly Hills Post Office (BHPO). The […]

Over the past few weeks, we’ve received a handful of reader requests to discuss damages incurred by the devastating Woolsey Fire. Now that the blaze is fully contained and we’ve had an opportunity to assess the situation, the time is right for a quick chat. Some folks might label us callous for choosing to discuss […]

Today we’re issuing an upfront mea culpa. We know some folks follow our blog primarily for the house pictures and merely skim the text. And that’s perfectly fine, but today we haven’t a single photo to share. Not even a Google Maps screengrab, since today’s house is so new it ain’t even finished yet. This deal […]

Many old homes in the foothills above the world-famous Sunset Strip have a celebrity history. Of course that’s partly due to their Hollywood proximity, but also because droves of them are blessed with both privacy and stunning LA skyline views, assets famous folks usually can’t find down in the flats. Take today’s property. Originally built […]

Public court documents related to the ongoing Woodbridge bankruptcy proceedings make for some fascinating late-night reading, at least if you’re a property nerd like Yolanda. We glanced at the clock and realized we just burned three hours poring over thousands of pages of legal filings. Does that make us a weirdo? No, don’t say it […]

As we stare down the final weeks of 2018, the great Woodbridge sell-off continues. Those of you who have been following this site (or real estate news in general) for some time should already be familiar with this saga: Woodbridge, the investment front for a now-defunct billion dollar Ponzi scheme, hoovered up dozens of prime […]

Recently our old pal Vlad the Revealer at Celebrity Address Aerial asked us who bought a fully renovated residence in the wilds of Encino. As many of y’all know, Encino is a suburban neighborhood way out in the big bad San Fernando Valley. Once upon a time — it wasn’t that many years ago, actually — […]
