One City, a $7 Million Price Spread
Direct answer: “Calabasas” is not one real estate market — it’s at least six distinct guard-gated communities inside the same city limits, with a price spread from under $2M to over $9M. The Oaks posted a March 2026 median sale price of $9.1M; Bellagio, also guard-gated, closed sales around $1.96M the same month. Citywide, Calabasas’ blended median sale price is $1.78M, up 18.9% year over year — a number that describes almost none of the individual gated communities inside it.
A lender or valuation tool that prices “a Calabasas home” off the citywide median will misvalue nearly every property in this post, in one direction or the other. Kevin Green underwrites off the specific gated community and comparable sales within it — never off a citywide blend.
Why Banks Fall Short in Calabasas
Direct answer: Three recurring failure points. First, thin inventory at the top: The Oaks saw only three closed sales in March 2026 against 124 days on market. Second, every gated community in Calabasas layers its own HOA approval, architectural, and disclosure process on top of a standard sale — timelines a 30–45 day jumbo underwriting cycle doesn’t build in room for. Third, smaller communities like Vista Pointe (192 homes) and Calabasas Country Estates (roughly 60 homes) generate so few annual transactions that an automated valuation model often has nothing recent to anchor to at all.
Kevin Green underwrites the asset directly — equity, location, and exit — and funds in 10–21 days, HOA process and all.
How the Loan Process Works
Direct answer: Kevin Green’s Calabasas loans move through four stages — property and equity review, term sheet, underwriting and documentation, and closing — typically completing in 10 to 21 days from first call to funded loan, with no income verification at any stage.
Property and equity review (same day to 48 hours) — Kevin Green evaluates the property directly: gated community, condition, comparable sales within that specific HOA, and existing equity, rather than running income or credit through an automated system.
Term sheet (24–48 hours) — loan amount, LTV, and structure proposed based on the asset, not a debt-to-income ratio.
Underwriting and documentation (3–10 days) — title, escrow, HOA disclosure packages, and property-specific documentation processed in parallel rather than sequentially.
Closing (10–21 days total) — funds close through escrow; straightforward deals with clean title complete in 10–15 business days.
Exit — most borrowers refinance into a conventional jumbo loan, sell the property, or pay off from another liquidity event once the time pressure that required hard money has passed.

The Oaks — Zip Code 91302
Direct answer: The Oaks is Calabasas’ top tier by a wide margin — a 24-hour guard-gated enclave with a March 2026 median sale price of $9.1M, but only three closed sales that month against 124 days on market. Recent closings ranged from $4.75M to $10.55M. This is the thinnest, hardest-to-appraise market in the city.
Private park / clubhouse corridor — homes closest to the community’s shared amenities, generally the highest-demand addresses.
Perimeter view lots — larger parcels along the community’s edge, where recent closings have run toward the top of the range.
Mountain View Estates — Zip Code 91302
Direct answer: A guard-gated community of large, individually distinct homes — 4,500 to 10,900 square feet, asking prices roughly $3.95M to $5.95M, with a February 2026 sale closing at $3.95M. Architecture runs Mediterranean, Spanish-style, and contemporary remodel.
Custom and remodeled estates — a meaningful share of inventory has been substantially rebuilt, which complicates a standard “like-for-like” appraisal.
Calabasas Park Estates — Zip Code 91302
Direct answer: The city’s middle tier — a 427-unit guard-gated single-family community with a March 2026 median of $3.4M and 86 days on market. Recent closings ranged from $2.26M to $4.125M.
Tennis court / common-area corridor — the community’s amenitized core, generally commanding a premium.
Bellagio — Zip Code 91302
Direct answer: Calabasas’ most accessible guard-gated community — a 160-unit single-family tract built in 1989, with recent sales around $1.96M to $2M.
Hillside / treetop-view lots — the premium tier within Bellagio itself.
Vista Pointe — Zip Code 91302
Direct answer: A smaller gated community of about 192 homes in the hills between the 101 Freeway and Parkway Calabasas Road, prized for panoramic views. With only 192 units total, it generates far fewer annual transactions than Calabasas Park Estates or Bellagio. The community also runs a Firewise recognition program — a wildfire-risk-reduction certification that factors into insurability and loan structuring.
View-tier homes — the community’s premium addresses, overlooking the surrounding hills and valley.
Calabasas Country Estates — Zip Code 91302
Direct answer: A guard-gated enclave of roughly 60 homes off Old Topanga Canyon Road, with homes running 3,800 to 6,100 square feet and community tennis courts. At roughly 60 total homes, it’s the thinnest comp set in this post.
Old Topanga Canyon Road corridor — the community’s primary access and address spine.
Two Markets That Aren’t Actually Calabasas: Hidden Hills and Monte Nido
Direct answer: Hidden Hills is a separate, independently incorporated city bordering Calabasas, with a March 2026 median sale price of $6.2M, 193 days on market, roughly 658 home sites, and three staffed gatehouses. Monte Nido is a rural, unincorporated Los Angeles County canyon community that simply uses a Calabasas (91302) mailing address — no city government, no HOA, a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone designation, strong equestrian character, and Q2 2026 pricing running roughly $1.4M for entry canyon homes up to $10M+ for new-construction compounds, median listing around $3.5M.
Kevin Green lends in both Hidden Hills and Monte Nido as well as Calabasas proper, but underwrites all three as the legally and physically distinct markets they are.
