Last month, April 2020, 523 Inverness Dr. La Canada Flintridge, was the highest-priced home sold. This luxury gated estate was listed in January for $4,999,000. It closed escrow just a few days ago for $4,830,000. At present, it is typical for luxury homes to take longer to sell. The sellers purchased this view property in 2004 as a tear-down for $1,075,000. They rebuilt in 2009.
The previous owners held the property for ten months before selling. Perhaps the rebuild was more than they cared to take on.
523 Inverness Dr., La Canada Flintridge, is located in the Chevy Chase Canyon neighborhood. While this area is quiet and secluded, it is not as desirable as the “flats” of La Canada Flintridge.
