Here is a list of all houses sold in Oak Park during the past 3 months. I excluded condos, and I defined Oak Park as north of the Los Angeles County line and east of Lindero Canyon Road. If the house had previous sales info since the year 2000, then I included that data. There was only one house that had previous sales data after the 2003/2004 housing boom, and that was 495 Burano Court which previously sold for $979k in 2005 and then sold for $1,080k 2 months ago. It is also the house on this list with the smallest percentage gain in value and the smallest absolute gain. So far it doesn’t look like there is a whole lot of evidence to suggest much of a crash or downturn in Oak Park. Perhaps a more upscale neighborhood such as this is less susceptible to foreclosures or other forced sales, so it may take longer for the ripple effect of the surrounding housing market to hit Oak Park.

The interesting thing on this list is the house at 6077 Larkellen. Last month it sold for just $208k, after selling for $133k two years ago. It’s a 1900+ square foot house. Either this house was sold within a family, or it must be the victim of a fire or other damage.
