A flat lot of this size north of Sunset gives a buyer two ways to look at the price: as a finished house to move into, or as land. At about $418 per square foot of land, we can compare it with lot sales across Brentwood and the Palisades when an investor client asks what the dirt alone is worth.

WHERE BRENTWOOD IS TODAY
In September 2026, the median Brentwood sale price was $2,459,311 across all home types, down 10.4% from a year earlier, according to Redfin. The median price per square foot was about $1,030, homes took a median of 62 days to sell, and the sale-to-list ratio was 97.1%. Homes are taking longer and selling a little under asking, which is different from the full-price, 36-day sale here in 2023.
Brentwood is inside the City of Los Angeles, so Measure ULA applies. For sales closing after June 30, 2026, the tax is 4% of the full price above $5,400,000 and 5.5% from $10,900,000. A sale at $4,995,000 today would still sit under the first line and owe no ULA.
