Back on February 1, 2012, the always informative Lauren Beale at Los Angeles Times Hot Property wrote about director and producer Marcos Siega sale in Encino for $1.65 million on January 27, 2012.
Marcos Siega is a film, television, commerical, and music video director. He has also worked as a producer and musician. He has directed numerous music videos for Weezer, System of a Down, P.O.D., Papa Roach, Blink-182, and The All American Rejects to name a few. He has also directed Dexter, True Blood, Cold Case, and Veronica Mars. He is also the co-executive producer of The Vampire Diaries as well as directed the pilot and several episodes.
According to the listing, this 5 Bed/4.5 Bath, 3,628sqft home on 0.55acres built in 1962 which is a Mid Century Modern home states:
A review of property records show that Marcos Siega along with his wife Lisa used to own a small 2 Bed/1 Bath Venice home near Venice Blvd which was purchased on July 12, 2000 for $390,000 and sold two years later on July 20, 2002 for $625,000. After doubling up on the Venice investment, the Siega couple purchased a Mid Century Modern on Woodrow Wilson Drive in Hollywood for $895,000 on January 24, 2002. This home was sold on November 12, 2010 for $1,635,000 giving the Siegas another double on their investment. So the Siegas rode the housing bubble all the way to their Encino home successfully selling each prior home at 100% gain. With all of their real estate gains, that $100,000+ loss on the Encino home isnt looking so bad now.
According to the LA Times Hot Property regarding the Hollywood home, the Siegas were looking to move into a bigger house to raise a family which is why they purchased the Encino home. Now with that home sold, are they looking to buy a bigger home in the San Fernando Valley like the Sinatra home in Chatsworth for $12 million, the James Wilson home in Calabasas for $25 million, the Heidi Saban Stills home in Encino for $3.5 million, the Ozzy Osbourne home in Hidden Hills for $12,999,000, or how about the Hilary Duff home in Toluca Lake for $6,950,000? Just throwing ideas out there. We wish the Siegas luck in finding a new home and hope they continues to maintains their existence in the San Fernando Valley.
