    Coming in second was a Mediterranean-style residence on North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills Flats, listed by Engel & Voelkers' Jaime Geffen for $12.4 million. This five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home has been on the market since mid-September and features an en-suite master bedroom, pool, spa, and BBQ area.

    Across L.A. County, 17 homes went into contract last week, totaling $123.6 million in asking dollar volume. The average days on market was 100, but Eklund Gomes California Managing Director Marcy Roth noted that two properties skewed the average, with triple-digit days on market. However, nine of the contracted homes averaged just 25 days on market, suggesting a more robust pace when priced correctly.
