The five highest-priced home sales publicly reported in the Los Angeles, California metro area for the week ending August 9, 2026, combined for $102.52 million. A $38,900,000 estate sale in Newport Coast’s Crystal Cove community led the week, followed by closings in Laguna Beach, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Studio City.
The ranking split between the Orange County coastline, where Newport Coast and Laguna Beach both posted eight-figure sales, and the hills on the Los Angeles side, where a Beverly Hills estate, a Mulholland Drive residence, and a newly built Studio City home rounded out the week.
RealtyWireβs Top 5 ranks the five highest-priced residential closings it identified in the Los Angeles, California metro area for the reporting week. It may omit private, delayed, nondisclosed, or otherwise unreported transactions.
No. 1 — $38,900,000 · 1 Clear Water, Newport Coast, California
The week’s largest sale closed on August 3, 2026, at $38,900,000 for a Tuscan-inspired farmhouse estate in the Crystal Cove Estate Collection, a double guard-gated Newport Coast community. Built by PrideMark in 2012 on a double lot of over 1.1 acres, the property offers six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and a reported 12,347 square feet split between the main residence and a detached guest house with elevator access. The listing describes approximately 280 degrees of ocean views, a great room with steel-framed windows facing Palos Verdes and Long Beach, and an enclosed loggia designed for year-round indoor-outdoor use.
Main-level rooms include a library, an executive office with ocean and harbor views, two en-suite bedrooms, and a gym or flex room with its own entry, while the kitchen pairs a Viking range and stone arched hood with a breakfast nook beside an antique stone fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite features heated floors, antique Moroccan tile, and dual showers including steam.

No. 2 — $22,000,000 · 145 Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach, California
The runner-up sale of the week closed on August 5, 2026, when 145 Emerald Bay in Laguna Beach sold for $22,000,000. Sale data on file describe a residence built in 2007 with five bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, and a reported 6,965 square feet, set in the Emerald Bay community from which the property takes its address.
Detailed listing remarks for the home were not publicly available at publication, so RealtyWire is reporting this transaction from the structured sale record alone: the closing date, the recorded price, and the property’s basic specifications. Further details, including interior features and condition, were not part of the available record and may be added if transaction participants confirm them.
Harold Noriega of Compass represented both sides of the transaction.

No. 3 — $15,000,000 · 3364 Clerendon Rd, Beverly Hills, California
In Beverly Hills, the estate at 3364 Clerendon Road closed on August 6, 2026, for $15,000,000. Built in 1992 inside the guard-gated Mulholland Estates community, the corner property occupies a double lot described in the listing as among the neighborhood’s largest flat parcels, with a gated motor court, expansive lawns, a pool and spa, a sun deck, and a built-in grill. The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home spans a reported 12,498 square feet.
Inside, a double-height foyer opens to a family room with a bar, a formal living room, a kitchen, formal and informal dining rooms, and a game room, with a main-floor office, a guest suite, and a three-car garage completing the level.

No. 4 — $13,400,000 · 16401 Mulholland Dr, Los Angeles, California
At 16401 Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, a six-bedroom, ten-bathroom home closed on August 3, 2026, for $13,400,000. The sale record lists a 1980 build and did not include a square-footage figure.
Property-specific listing remarks that could be verified to this address were not publicly available at publication, so this account is limited to the facts in the reported sale record: the closing date, the price, the bedroom and bathroom counts, the 1980 year built and the 90049 ZIP code. The price placed the Mulholland Drive closing between the $15,000,000 sale on Clerendon Road in Beverly Hills and the $13,220,000 sale on Oakdell Road in Studio City in the week’s ranking of the metro area’s five highest reported closings.
Craig Knizek and Scott Gorelick of The Agency were the listing agents. Daniel Milstein of Christie’s International Real Estate SoCal represented the buyer.

Studio City’s Villa Duir, a newly completed 2026 build credited to Studio Rob Diaz and M. Alexander Design, closed on August 3, 2026, for $13,220,000. Set beneath mature oaks on a 27,000-square-foot lot with roughly 200 feet of frontage in Fryman Canyon, the limestone-and-timber residence offers five en-suite bedrooms, one on the main level and four upstairs, seven bathrooms in all, and a reported 6,447 square feet.
The listing describes interiors arranged around preserved century-old trees, with two full kitchens, dual living rooms, and full-height glass doors opening to a resort-style pool terrace. A media room wrapped in rift-oak paneling, an integrated smart-home system controlling lighting, climate, audio, and security, a gym, and a wellness suite round out the plan, while an elevated glass bridge leads to a secluded guest suite and a three-car garage completes the property.
Andrew Dinsky and Jennifer Winston of Equity Union were the listing agents. Lisa Klein of Compass represented the buyer.
