San Fernando Valley · Los Angeles County
Sherman Oaks real estate
South of the Boulevard · Chandler Estates · Sherman Oaks Heights · Longridge Estates
Sherman Oaks is one of the most consistently in-demand markets in the Valley, helped by its position at the base of the Sepulveda Pass and genuinely quick access over the hill. As in Tarzana and Studio City, the Ventura Boulevard line matters: south of it, hillside lots and higher price points; north of it, a flatter, denser, more attainable market with a strong condo and townhome component.
Inventory tends to move faster here than in the west Valley, and buyer expectations around finish level are higher. Dated homes still sell, but the discount is visible. Sherman Oaks is inside City of Los Angeles limits, so the LA City transfer tax applies, and the hillside end of the market regularly reaches Measure ULA territory.

If you're selling
What it costs to sell in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks is inside City of Los Angeles limits. That means a sale here pays the Los Angeles County documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, plus the City of Los Angeles transfer tax of $4.50 per $1,000, about 0.56% of the sale price combined.
Above $5,400,000, Measure ULA also applies, at 4% of the entire gross sale price, not just the portion above the threshold, and not reduced by your mortgage or your original purchase price.
