Final deal

It was inevitable that the story would be labeled "One last deal for game show host."

The late Monty Hall's L.A. home has sold for $6.409 million, or ten grand over the asking price. He had owned the house for 55 years, and it hit the market in February. The L.A. housing market looks to have recovered well and truly from the Great Recession. The 3,900 square foot Mediterranean style residence offers the inevitable back yard swimming pool and guest house.

Wayne Saks of Rodeo Reality was the agent for the sale, if you want to know. Mr. Saks deserves his commission for moving the property so quickly. It was in escrow within a week of the listing.

These celeb real estate deals are a kind of financial porn for number crunchers like me. You might call them Mortgages of the Rich and Famous.
