All these liberal Hollywood entertainers who advocate high taxes and then, when they are forced to pony up their "fair share," bail out when the state enacts the policies they advocated. It won't be long before we see an article about that shitbag Bill Maher moving to Texas or some other state with no state income tax. Bill Maher and Michael Moore, who have tens of millions of dollars, really do believe in taxing the rich, though...so long as they aren't included.

Of course, businesses will also move out of California as well and tax receipts will really plummet. The poor and middle classes will just have to pay more taxes in California because you can bet the government there will never cut spending. Stockton was only the beginning.

It's due to the effective tax rate in Cali, 63% is a bit much and these are the same morans that scream for fairness, as long as it doesn't affect them.

Hi, OP --

1. Do you personally sell multi-million dollar homes? In other words, how were you made aware of this trend?
2. What is the "for sale" percentage for existing high dollar homes, and is this apparent high sales rate just for those, or is there an increase in middle-income homes, also, in L.A.?
2. What is your "take" on the reason(s) for this?

Thanks!

(BTW, I live in a middle class suburb in Denver, and houses in my neighborhood have usually sold within two weeks after being put up for sale. I have read that there hasn't been such a low inventory of homes for sale in the Denver area since the 80's!)
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38021489


All very good questions.

OP, I'm not trying to give you a hard time. If you're on the ground and the ground and see something unusual developing that does not comport with your 10 years of experience in the industry, I respect that. But isn't it possible that celebs are flipping now because they, too, have money issues and the high cost of CA extortion (i.e. taxes, etc) is finally forcing them to make difficult economic choices (well, "difficult" for them means something completely different than it does for us, but you get my drift).

BTW, the HG link is good, but it would be great to know how many homes were for sale, say, this time last year.

I don't know if you saw my previous post (near the bottom of Page 1 of this thread), but I live in a Denver suburb, and I have read that there has not been such a low inventory of homes for sales here since the 80's! Homes in my middle-class neighborhood usually sell within two weeks.

In my 10 years of being a real estate agent in la,
I have never seen AN EXODUS like this one.
"Maps of Stars Homes" have now become "Maps of Stars Homes FOR SALE". Everyone is bailing out of Los Angeles this month,
drastically reducing their mansions by millions of dollars,
taking enormous losses, and are DESPERATE TO SELL ASAP.

Here is the current list of the stars who are bugging out:

This is just a partial list, still not including movie directors, producers, and the millions of "movie industry" people in LA.
What do they know?
Where are they going?
I have never seen a massive exodus like this....
I'm a bit uneasy about this situation.

3 months after Mt. Vesuvius and|or Mt. Pelee erupt(s), southern California will be destroyed (by earthquake and lava).

Pisgah Volcano
Super volcano in California
others.

It's hottest where the lava tubes and channels are:
[link to earthquake.usgs.gov]
in southern California.

For some reason, Vesuvius and Pelee act as an early-warning system for that area. They are somehow connected in the earth.

"Three months after"

I think everything south of Bakersfield, California will go. Malibu, Los Angeles, San Diego...

OP, stars sell their homes ALL the time. Could be that they're moving somewhere else in the stat,e or maybe to a new location because of work/family location

Most stars aren't from LA, so this isnt' surprising at all. I would also point out that alot of that list includes 2nd homes. For example, P.Diddy lives in NY, so the home he is selling must be a 2nd home.

Half your list isn't even working much these days.

They know California is getting ready to TAX the heck out of them and everyone else....not to mention they..California is getting dumber everyday with the stupid rules and regulations.

Things are getting so stupid out there, there own citizens are proposing to outlaw guns of any kind and propose to go door to door and confiscate them. California is becoming a state that caters to no one other than illeagal aliens by giving them more rights than the natural born citizens.

That list is huge and like you said that's not even the producers and other people that makes movies. You would wonder why they are moving from there work site unless they know something. Maybe Calif is going bankrupt or already has or the illegals are just taking over and it is not safe to live in that area anymore, or they know the system is about to make US dollars worthless so they want their money in hand before it does.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38021489


i've lived in la for 40+ years in several different locations,
and i noticed just this year, the MASSIVE amount of for sale signs littering malibu, beverly hills, and other "affluent" areas of la. i live in a middle class suburb and houses have been dramatically reduced in my area too, and the homes stay on the market for a very,very long time. i have realestate agent friends who haven't sold anything in the last 4 years.
it seems people are either "ok,holding on getting by" or desperate to sell. but nobody is making money anymore buying or selling houses anymore.
the mansions are cheap, but the smaller homes are still pretty expensive. prices are all over the place, people are panicing.
for example, in beverly hills there is a star's mansion that was worth 7mil, now selling for 2.5m, and on the same street there is a dinky 2 bed/1bath selling for 3mil.
people are insane.
