Top 2013 Mid-Century Modern Homes Sold

2013 was a good year in mid-century modern real estate sales in Los Angeles.  As we saw the market rebounding from the Great Recession, we saw first-time buyers gobble-up homes while driving-up prices.  The luxury market continued selling with prices coming in close to list prices or slightly under, in most cases.  Architectural gems were abound making this year's list a Top 30 list, as modernhomeslosangeles would like to include as many worthy mid-century modern architectural homes sold in 2013.  We should see a swathe of gorgeous homes being sold in 2014, but for now, let's reminisce the homes of 2013.

The list is formulated from most expensive homes to least expensive, as it is hard to decide what deserves "the best" ranking.  Some of the homes chosen have been written about in earlier blog posts which are included for more extensive conversation and photos.  So, without further adieu, let's check out some of the goodies from 2013 mid-century modern sales.
