Everyone loves a gimmick, even the über rich. The controversial Measure ULA — which was opposed (futilely) by top real estate agents — is set to go into effect April 1. Known as “the mansion tax,” the L.A. City measure will require sellers of properties of more than $5 million to pay a 4 percent transfer tax, while sales of more than $10 million will pay a 5.5 percent tax. All funds raised will be used to fund sorely needed public housing.
Now, just under the gun, blue chip sellers are using the looming deadline to try to goose sales. The undeveloped 260-acre Senderos Canyon in Bel Air is being auctioned off by Paramount Realty USA. In an attempt to woo buyers quickly, owner Giro Properties has announced a $2 million discount if the deal is closed before April 1.
Botched star Paul Nassif has listed his Bel Air mansion at 1035 Stradella Road for $27.995 million with a similar twist. The plastic surgeon is offering a $1 million closing bonus to a buyer’s agent who will close on the property before April 1. Nassif came up with the idea because “he would have to pay 5.5 percent more if he sells after April 1,” says Coldwell Banker’s Jade Mills, who holds the listing along with Josh and Matt Altman, Mauricio Umansky and Tomer Fridman.
Across the board, brokers have seen buyers scurrying to avoid the steep tax. Many people, says Mills, “are rushing to close escrow before April 1, so they can purchase the properties for 5.5 percent less.” As for Nassif’s listing, Mills says the bonus offer has brought massive online interest. “We have received more views in the past month for 1035 Stradella than I have ever seen on any of my other listings,” Mills says. “There have been more than 35,000 views.” Adds Douglas Elliman agent Lisa Optican, “There is incentive upon sellers to try to initiate a deal and close a sale before the April 1 deadline. At this point, it’s becoming a total numbers game.”
Ahead of the measure going into effect, some agents say they predict it will negatively affect luxury home sales and sellers in L.A.

Oh yeah, they're always for the poor as long as they don't have to give any of their money.
Just like Fetterman's wife said she was going to invite poor people to use their pool. Won't ever happen--people actually believed that bs.

I only have a problem with liberals trying to evade the tax they voted for imposing. I give a pass to conservatives, since they didn't want it.
A democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. And that's why the USA is a constitutional republic and not a democracy.

....and then move to a conservative state because you finally grow tired of the madness you helped create, only to start voting for the madness all over again.
