- Malibu: $11.75M Sells, Sea Vista Down 38%October 13, 2026: Malibu closings are coming in well under list, including a Sea Vista Drive sale 38% under ask and a Malibu Road home about 11% under ask. Is that a buyer's market or a pile of messy comps? - The closings: $11.75M, Malibu Road and Sea Vista Drive - The stats puzzle: more sales, lower median - Rebuild pricing: permits, lots and what the city reports - The verdict: cheap, or just distorted? - The Beverly Hills and Bel Air comparison Next week: does the discount hold once the rebuilds finish?
- ULA Line: $181.2M Week, South Bay LeadsOctober 6, 2026: LA County's luxury contract tally for the week of Sept 8 came to $181.2M across 22 deals, and the South Bay took about 41% of it. - The scoreboard: where the $4M+ contracts were signed - The ULA line: the 4% and 5.5% tiers and the current $5.4M and $10.9M cutoffs - Manhattan Beach and the South Bay: the $25.5M Hill Section deal - Beverly Hills and Malibu: what the sources say about ULA-free cities - Bel Air: what a $20M sale looks like against its ULA-free neighbors Is the mansion tax moving demand across city lines, or just thinning the market?
- Palisades: The $7.5M Rebuild TestSeptember 29, 2026: the first fully rebuilt Pacific Palisades home since the January 2025 fire just hit the market at roughly $7.5 million, and Jordyn and David use it as the real pricing test for post-fire demand. — The house itself: 915 N. Kagawa St, built by Thomas James Homes, now certified and fire-hardened under California's updated WUI code. — The permit fight: a roughly 650-permit figure clashes with FOX 11's 1,069, Crosstown's 563 ground-up count, and CalMatters' 2,600 across Palisades and Altadena combined. — The bifurcated market: a ~$2.83M–$3.5M median against nearly 475 traded burned lots, and why one finished rebuild is a different asset class entirely. — Industry chatter: a Threads reaction calling the Palisades 'not done.' Next week's question: what does this listing actually close for?
- Prop 40 vs. 41 vs. 42: The Real Estate TwistOn November 3, 2026, California voters decide Prop 40's one-time 5% billionaire wealth tax — plus two rival measures written to kill it outright. Jordyn and David dig into what that three-way ballot fight is already doing to LA's UHNW estate planning ahead of the Dec. 31 valuation date. - The setup: Prop 40's 5% one-time billionaire tax and the union-vs-billionaires framing - The mechanics: how Prop 41 and Prop 42 are built to nullify Prop 40 even if it wins - The turn: why estate, trust, divorce and probate sales are becoming a forced-seller pipeline - The carve-out that isn't: LLC-held real estate and grantor trusts still in scope - The LA angle: Tahoe's Nevada-side boom, Ellison's mansion exit, and what it means for the Westside Who blinks first before Dec. 31 — the sellers or the ballot box?

- Bel Air's $105M Portfolio: Sold for HalfOn September 9, 2026, Los Angeles County's priciest residential contract wasn't a record — it was a discount. Bassam Alghanim's 15.9-acre Crown Bel Air assemblage, originally shopped for $105 million, went into contract at a $54.4 million auction bid. Jordyn and David finally deliver the pure deal-flow scoreboard episode the show promises, after nine straight weeks of policy coverage. — The Crown Bel Air backstory: nine parcels, seven homes, assembled since 1979 — How Concierge Auctions' no-reserve structure actually decides whether a portfolio sells whole or in pieces — The $54.4 million verdict and what it says about stalled trophy inventory — Countywide contract volume, up sharply year-over-year to $250 million — The $26 million Brentwood Park spec mansion and its $1.43 million mansion-tax bill, plus this week's price-slashing trend. Next week: does the auction exit ramp become the new normal for Bel Air's stalled nine-figure listings?
- Prop 40: Who Fills LA's $20M Buyer Gap?The week of September 8, 2026, Jordyn and David flip nine straight ULA episodes to chase the buy side: California's one-time 5% billionaire wealth tax just qualified for the November 3 ballot, and the exodus headlines are everywhere. Segments this week: • Prop 40's actual mechanics per the Legislative Analyst's Office — who's taxed, when it's due, what's exempt • The Miami and Nevada landing spots for Page, Brin, Ellison and others fleeing the tax • The turn: foreign all-cash buyers, from a Brazilian family with an $80M budget to a Japanese investor, quietly absorbing LA trophy inventory • Where LA actually ranks on the national luxury price map • The hosts' closing take on who's really writing $20M+ checks in 2026. Is the billionaire flight story overblown, or is LA's ultra-luxury buyer pool about to change shape entirely?
- ULA's 1.5% Fix Is Builder-Only NowOn September 1, 2026, Jordyn and David revisit the Ad Hoc Committee's May 2026 vote that quietly turned mansion-tax relief into a builder-only deal — a 2-1 decision advancing a narrow pilot that cuts ULA's rate to 1.5% for affordable multifamily projects while single-family sellers above $5.4M get nothing. - The 2-1 vote breakdown and what the pilot actually replaces - Three years of ULA reform talk and the RAND report builders leaned on - The reveal: single-family sales generate roughly 59% of ULA revenue but no carve-out - The still-unresolved Palisades fire-seller exemption - What the Sacramento ballot deal means for ULA's future Next week: does the pilot survive contact with actual escrow?
- The ULA Backdoor: City Hall's Quiet PivotOn August 25, 2026, Jordyn and David revisit the ULA ballot pivot from seven weeks earlier — first covered on the show's August 20 episode — and dig into what's happened since inside the Ad Hoc Committee. Segments: The Ballot Measure That Wasn't — a quick recap of the shelved multifamily carve-out and the lopsided vote that buried it; The Sacramento Door Slams Shut — how a statewide deal left the city ordinance as the only live reform path; Inside the Ad Hoc Committee — the new committee vote that traded a harsher ballot proposal for a quieter pilot program; What's Actually In the Pilot Ordinance — rate cuts, eligibility rules, and a per-household income pilot, now confirmed via an official council report; Who Has Leverage Now — the spending lag on ULA dollars and what it means for sellers still chasing an exit. The fight didn't end at the ballot box, it just moved rooms. Who has the advantage when the vote never happens?
- The $10.9M Line: ULA's Escape HatchJordyn and David break down the LA City Council's whiplash on Measure ULA reform, the 10-year multifamily carve-out that was supposed to hit the November 3 ballot, and why single-family sellers in Bel Air and Brentwood are still paying 5.5 percent alone.
- Oct 15: The 29% Hit to Palisades EscrowsCalifornia approved a 29.1% average FAIR Plan rate hike effective October 15, and Jordyn and David map exactly which Westside, Palisades, and Malibu zip codes get crushed, which catch a break, and how the deadline is already reshaping fall escrow season.

About
What the show is
From $5M tear-downs in Brentwood to $80M compounds in Bel Air, this show covers what sold, what didn't, and why. Built for high-net-worth buyers and sellers, agents working the Westside, architecture obsessives, and anyone who wants to understand how money moves through LA's most expensive zip codes. Each episode tracks live deal flow, dissects neighborhood-level pricing trends, and tells the stories behind the addresses. If you follow LA's high-end housing market the way other people follow the Dodgers, this is your weekly scoreboard.
