As a local realtor and La Canada specialist, I stay current on the latest luxury home sales in the area. Last month, the most expensive home sold in La Canada was 501 Highland Drive. Initially listed at $8,950,000 in September 2023 and then canceled the listing. Sellers then relisted in October 2024 for $6,290,000 and once again reduced the price to $5,999,000 and eventually sold for $6,020,000.
Keeping track of high-end real estate trends helps me provide expert insights for buyers and sellers in this exclusive market. Stay tuned for more updates on La Cañada’s luxury real estate scene!
