Pacific Palisades

Since the January 2025 fire, the Palisades has been two markets at once: houses that stood, and lots where the next house has not been built yet. They are priced very differently.

The Diana Braun Group is a Compass team based in Santa Monica that sells homes in Pacific Palisades, California (90272). Our Palisades sales run from 17605 Castellammare Drive to 1529 Amalfi Drive, which sold for $21 million. Diana Braun has built and remodeled homes herself, which matters more here than anywhere else on the Westside right now, because many buyers are buying a rebuild.

What moves value
Lot or houseAfter the fire, many owners face a choice: sell the lot as it is, sell it with plans or permits in hand, or rebuild first. Each path has a different price and a different timeline. We price all three before a decision is made.
Rebuild time and insuranceBuilders quote roughly 18 to 24 months from permit to move-in. Buyers want to know early whether a house can be insured; many end up with the California FAIR Plan plus a second policy to fill the gaps. A seller who has those answers ready sells faster.
Measure ULAPacific Palisades is in the City of Los Angeles, so Measure ULA applies: 4% of the whole sale price above $5.4 million, and 5.5% at $10.9 million and above, since July 1, 2026. See what you would net →
