Earlier this month, another home in Dana Point went on the market with a high price tag. Coldwell Banker Realty listed a historic property with two single-family homes, including a 100-year-old cottage in Doheny Beach, for $6.9 million.

“Few historic properties of this caliber remain in Dana Point, and none with this combination of features,” said listing agent Jeff Golden. “It’s a rare opportunity to own not just one, but two distinct single-family homes, thoughtfully placed across three lots totaling approximately one-half acre. This simply couldn’t be replicated under today’s entitlement standards.”

When the mansion tax first took effect on April 1, 2023, it all but froze L.A.'s luxury real estate market, with many sellers pulling their homes off the market at the prospect of paying an extra few hundred thousand in taxes if they sold.

Measure ULA (United to House LA) mansion tax passed due to significant concerns around the housing affordability crisis within Los Angeles. The city intends to use the revenue to: Build more affordable housing options and address homelessness.

The mansion tax, imposes a heavy 4% tax on any property sale above $5 million, or 5.5% tax on any sale more than $10 million.

Wednesday marks the grand opening of a new homeless housing tower in downtown Los Angeles‘ Skid Row that is drawing praise for its ambition while taking flack for its price tag.

This $165-million project (pictured) will receive permanent financing from Proposition HHH, state housing funds and $56 million in state tax credits. The cost, at just under $600,000 per unit, puts it at the high end of Proposition HHH projects but well below the most expensive.
