The November 2024 Zillow Home Value Index reveals a striking landscape of luxury real estate across Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Malibu, with property values spanning from $1.39 million to an astounding $9.99 million. The analysis showcases Beverly Hills Gateway’s dominance at the peak with nearly $10 million, while only eight neighborhoods exceed the $3 million threshold. The representation across cities shows interesting patterns, with Los Angeles contributing 19 neighborhoods, Beverly Hills adding 7, and Malibu completing the list with 4 locations. The appreciation rates tell an equally compelling story, with Malibu leading at an average of 112.5% growth since 2015, followed by Beverly Hills at 80.4% and Los Angeles at 74.5%.
The market reveals fascinating trends in both absolute values and appreciation rates. Point Dume in Malibu recorded the highest appreciation at 174.4%, followed by Beverly Hills’ The Flats at 140.5% and Beverly Hills Gateway at 122.6%. Geographically, coastal areas command premium prices, while Beverly Hills neighborhoods cluster in the highest price ranges, and Westside LA properties dominate the middle tier. The ultra-luxury segment, defined by Beverly Hills Gateway and The Flats above $8 million, stands notably apart from the third-place Point Dume at $5.27 million.
Most dramatic price increases occurred between 2015-2020, with growth moderating in the 2020-2024 period, though Malibu maintained the strongest recent momentum. Venice shows an interesting anomaly with the lowest appreciation (31.3%) despite its high base value, while Encino demonstrates remarkable growth (105%) from a lower starting point. The market clearly segments into three tiers: ultra-luxury above $8 million (Beverly Hills), premium tier $3-5 million (Malibu and top LA neighborhoods), and core luxury tier $1.4-3 million comprising the majority of neighborhoods.
Please note that I decided to include neighborhoods not solely within Los Angeles. For example, I included neighbhoods in Beverly Hills and Malibu. I decided that this approach would give a more accurate picture of the most expensive areas in the Los Angeles area.
