Romantic English Tudor by Architect Garrett Van Pelt – 1585 East Altadena Drive
Buying and Selling in Los Angeles During Coronavirus
Thinking it might be time to begin shopping for a home? Or selling your current one? But, maybe, like so many would-be house hunters and home sellers out there in Los Angeles right now you have concerns and questions about how Covid-19 has affected the real estate market and how to stay safe and healthy during the home buying and selling process.
The real estate market essentially all but disappeared after the stay-at-home orders in March, and has since slowly, but surely, made a big comeback. Today, in Los Angeles, homes are selling faster than ever before. In fact, the week ending August 1 saw homes selling eight days faster than the same week in 2019. Experts in the industry say changing changing needs during the pandemic and low interest rates have remarkably driven homebuyers to rush to the market. After staying home for months in 2020, many first time home buyers decided it was time for them to take the home ownership journey, while many current owners realized they needed a bigger home, a larger yard, an additional dwelling unit, or that they missed their friends and family back home.
But house hunting might look very different than it did before the coronavirus pandemic took hold. Here are a few changes and surprises to anticipate if you are planning to buy or sell during Covid-19 era, which may last into 2021 and beyond.

Let the Property Tell Us What It Wants: An Interview with the Architect of Malibu, Doug Burdge
Whenever I am in Malibu – whether visiting a friend, spending a day at the beach, or enjoying a special dinner at one of Malibu’s many fine restaurants, there always seems to be an incredible house that catches my eye for the first time or a private driveway I wonder what’s at the end of it. The answer is almost always a home by architect Douglas W. Burdge, AIA. I’ve come to learn many have come to refer to Doug as “The Architect of Malibu” and with more than 100 homes built in the area the moniker is apt and earned.
A resident of Malibu himself, we caught up with Doug Burdge earlier this month and here is what he had to say in an exclusive interview for The Hollywood Home.

The Evolution of the Hollywood Park Casino
In recent months, the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic have been felt across virtually every industry. Across Los Angeles, the restaurant industry was arguably the hardest hit due to stay-at-home orders, but the gaming industry has also suffered from a decline in revenue and a loss of clientele. One of the major casinos in LA that have undergone massive changes is the Hollywood Park Casino. It opened in 1994, and has recently been upgraded to a more modern design, welcoming new members to its renovated doors in 2016. While its original racetrack complex was shut down in 2013, the Hollywood Park complex is going to be supplemented by the opening of the new SoFi Stadium, home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League.
