Hermosa Beach Sand Section Real Estate Update

The inventory remains low in the sand section of Hermosa Beach with only 5 single family homes on the market in this very sought after area of the South Bay.  The sand section is the area of Hermosa Beach from The Strand (Hermosa’s famous ocean front walk) to the greenbelt located at Valley and Ardmore and offers many homes that have tremendous ocean views and are in close proximity to the beach and downtown Hermosa and Pier Plaza.

Home Sales On the Rise in the Beach Cities

May 2013 was a big month for both the number of home sales and prices in the cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, Redondo Beach and El Segundo.  Both the number of sales and home prices were on the rise.  The chart below paints a pretty clear picture that the number of homes for sale, as well as pending sales and closed home sales is on the rise.  According to local real estate expert Keith Kyle, “as we see the inventory of new listings rise we should start to see the return of a balanced market.   We had a very unusual turnaround in which we went directly from a buyers market to a sellers market and never really reached an equilibrium.”

Upcoming New Construction Homes in Hermosa Beach CA

Recent news has shown that builder confidence is up and that new construction starts is at a multi-year high. That’s not anything new for Hermosa Beach. A quick drive through the Hermosa Beach sand section makes it clear that builders are most definitely building. According to South Bay realtor and Hermosa Beach resident Keith Kyle with South Bay Brokers, “it’s hard not to notice the abundance of projects underway. In some areas there are 3 or 4 new homes being built on the same street. The market has always remained strong during the downturn, but the amount of builders buying older homes shows that confidence in the Hermosa Beach real estate market is very high.”  Much of the new construction is for owner users, but more and more spec projects are taking place as well. Below are some of the projects underway in Hermosa Beach. Prices on most are, as yet, undetermined but many do have some pricing information available. Beyond simply having a new home, the advantage to purchasing new construction when the project is underway is that buyers can often work with the builders in choosing finishes and truly make for a custom home.

Hermosa Beach Sand Section Home Prices Reaching New Levels

Although median prices in a luxury market such as the Hermosa Beach sand section can vary dramatically due to one or two oceanfront home listings on The Strand, the median home prices for active listings has reached record highs.  The sand section of Hermosa Beach is the area closest to the ocean and is bordered by Manhattan Beach to the north, the streets of Valley/Ardmore to the east, and Redondo Beach to the south.  There are numerous housing options ranging from magnificent Strand homes, to “walkstreet” homes with an alley in the back but a pedestrian only sidewalk in the front, to endless ocean view condos, townhomes and single family.  In general prices are higher north of Pier Avenue.

According to local realtor and Hermosa Beach resident Keith Kyle with South Bay Brokers “the homes active on the market are almost all exclusively very high end luxury homes and we’ve reach a median home price never seen before.”  The current median home price for all types of active homes is at $3,749,000.  This in a town where the median prices have hovered in the $1.1M-$1.2M in general for the past few years.  There are many factors at the moment including a number of ocean front homes including 2666 The Strand, an oceanfront estate priced at a whopping $15,900,000 (incredibly it was raised from it’s original $13,900,000), 718 The Strand at $6,300,000 and 5 other homes priced over $4.0M with 3 walkstreet homes for sale.
