Hollywood Hills Real Estate
The Hollywood Hills is where we do more of our work than anywhere else in Los Angeles. The Missig Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties has represented buyers and sellers here for years, from the 1923 model home that launched Hollywoodland to mid-century post and beam homes by Burton Schutt and a Streamline Moderne redesign by Lorcan O'Herlihy.
No two streets in the hills are alike. Views, access, lot size and architecture change block by block, and so does value. I came to real estate from fashion, photography and an interest in architecture and design, and I lead a team that knows these canyons street by street.

Hollywood Hills market snapshot
Each month we publish a market report for each Hollywood Hills ZIP code, broken down by neighborhood. Here are the latest figures.
90068, October 2026
Average selling price: $2,346,176
Sale-to-list: 98.2%
Price per sq ft: $988
Days on market: 38
Same month last year, average selling price: $2,366,694
90046, October 2026
Average selling price: $3,211,912
Sale-to-list: 94.6%
Price per sq ft: $988
Days on market: 56
Same month last year, average selling price: $3,752,930
What this means right now: 90068 is holding steady. Average prices are nearly flat from a year ago and price per square foot is up, though buyers negotiate more than they did last year. 90046 has softened, with average prices down 14% and homes selling further below list, which gives buyers real leverage, especially in Sunset Plaza and above the Measure ULA threshold.

Measure ULA in the hills. The Hollywood Hills is inside the City of Los Angeles, so Measure ULA applies. For sales closing on or after July 1, 2026, it adds 4% on sales above $5.4 million and 5.5% at $10.9 million or more, on the full price. Pricing just under a threshold can change what a seller nets by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Buying in the hills
Hillside homes reward buyers who know what to check. These are the conversations I have with every Hollywood Hills buyer before an offer.
Fire insurance. Much of the hills sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Get insurance quotes early, before you are in contract.
Geology and foundations. Ask for a geology review on any hillside home, especially homes with caissons, retaining walls or additions.
Access and parking. Narrow streets, red-flag parking restrictions and steep driveways affect daily life and resale. Drive the route at rush hour.
Views can change. A protected view and an open lot below are worth very different amounts. We check what could be built nearby.
Permits and history. Many homes have had decades of additions. We compare what was built against what was permitted.
Historic protections. Parts of the hills are Historic-Cultural Monuments or historic districts, which shape what you can change.
