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.”

Hollywood Riviera Home Prices On the Rise

The Hollywood Riviera real estate market has taken off in the past few weeks with a median list price of over $1.5M which is a fairly unbelievable number for an area with a median sales price of just over $1.0M for the past 4 months.  Included in these sold homes was the ocean front home at 623 Paseo De La Playa which sold for $2.625M and without that very unique sale, median prices would have been considerably lower.  What accounts for this incredible increase?

According to Redondo Beach specialist, Keith Kyle, it is a combination of a number of factors.  “The market has clearly changed in the past few months with inventory dropping and prices rising.  In addition the homes currently on the market just happen to be more upgraded and larger as sellers with luxury homes in the Hollywood Riviera have decided it is great time to list their homes.  One last factor is the dramatic reduction in the number of distressed sales.  As of a year ago distressed sales made up a sizable portion of the listings and are almost non-existent these days.”  Click here to view the most recent home sales in the Hollywood Riviera.

Wondering Why You Can’t Find that Dream Home in the South Bay?

It’s no secret that it’s a frustrating world out there for home buyers.  Oh how quickly things turned from a strong buyers market to a market clearly favoring sellers.  According to Redondo Beach Realtor Keith Kyle “There is incredibly low inventory everywhere and the high demand areas of the South Bay such as Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach have little to offer buyers at the moment”.  To make life even more frustrating for Beach Cities home buyers, is that the moment a well priced home comes on the market, the frenzy starts with buyers often going way over asking price, waiving the appraisal contingency and simply buying homes above current market value.  The chart below sums it up pretty clearly with the number of active homes for sale in the South Bay plummeting from over 1500 a year ago to just over 600 in December of 2012.  This is while the number of closed sales has remained steady.

Want to Know Why You Can’t Find a South Bay Home?

If you’re like many South Bay home buyers, you’re probably experiencing theKeith Kyle realtor for sale sign frustration that so many others are….there are no homes to buy.  With this incredibly low inventory the few homes that do come on the market don’t last more than a few days and often sell for prices that would have been a major challenge just a few months ago.  It might be temporary, but back are the days of multiple offers, conditions favorable to the sellers, offers over the list price and a number of cash buyers to compete with.  Inventory just keeps going down with fewer and fewer available homes to by.  If it’s hard to picture just what’s happening the chart below couldn’t be clearer.  The light green bar shows the number of active homes for sale in the cities of El Segundo, Gardena, Harbor City, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Lawndale, Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, San Pedro, Torrance.  The teal columns show sold homes and the red bar shows the pending home sales.
