Cliff May Architecture: Market Update

27 Crest Road, Rolling Hills 90274
The market has seen an influx of Cliff May designed homes in the Los Angeles area.  Currently, 22 homes are either active, pending or looking for back-up offers.  Prices for the mostly mid-century modern range from a 1954 Long Beach home pending for $430,000 to a magnificent Rolling Hills estate built in 1983 listed for $10,900,000.

All-in-all, there are 10 active listings, 5 listings looking for back-up and 7 homes pending.  One of my favorites went pending in 4 days time!  The Sherman Oaks 1959 1,857sf 5 bedroom and 1.75 bath was modestly listed for $799,000. The Stone Canyon home has most of it's original integrity and should become a showcase home in the hands of good buyers who understand the investment in mid-century modern architecture.  
3714 Stone Canyon Ave, Sherman Oaks, 1959 Cliff May architect
As Los Angelenos, we are somewhat spoiled by the enormity of the collection of brilliant minds with an aesthetic for post and beam design.  But for today, this is Cliff May...    
7115 East Mezzanine Way, Long Beach - Cliff May, 1953 - Pending
Known for the tract homes in Long Beach as well as the site specific commissioned homes built in Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Sherman Oaks and Rolling Hills, May was a follower of the standards set by the FHA guidelines for local resources and achieving efficiency through design.


Included in the listings below is the "Marglen Estate" built in 1921 and home of Jean May, widow of the architect, located in Topanga Canyon being listed for $1,295,000.
