August Home Sales Show Big Numbers in the South Bay

The South Bay saw big numbers in August 2013 with impressive increases in both median home price and the number of sales in many of the local communities.   Hermosa Beach posted some of the most impressive numbers with 30 closed sales in this small beach community and a median home price of over $1.2M.    “This is a big number but it’s especially impressive as it’s a 40% increase over median home prices in Hermosa Beach in August of 2012″ according to Hermosa Beach realtor Keith Kyle.  Other cities enjoyed significant gains as well.

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.”

Real Estate Update in the Manhattan Beach Hill Section

The hill section of Manhattan Beach offers it all…..beautiful homes on quiet streets, stunning views, much larger lots than in other “sections” of Manhattan Beach, and luxury homes to take your breath away.  All of this while still being west of Pacific Coast

Highway/Sepulveda Blvd and still walkable to the beach.  It is specifically due to the larger lot sizes that the homes in the area are not as confined to certain sizes and designs to fit within the smaller lots of the sand section and tree section.  The result are often truly custom homes with large square footage, not at the sacrifice of larger outdoor areas.  It is simply the best of all worlds.  The market has not been as active as some of the surrounding areas and cities with very low inventory and relatively low numbers of listings and sales.  There have been 5 closed home sales in 2013 with an average sales price of $1.869M.   Due to low number of homes sold in the area and the extreme pricing differences, these numbers can be drastically different over time.  See a quick recap of the real estate market in the hill section of Manhattan Beach.

Manhattan Beach Hill Section – Luxury Homes Market Update

For luxury home buyers wanting it all, the hill section of Manhattan Beach may be the ideal location to call home.  According to Keith Kyle, top realtor with Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, “Manhattan Beach hill section real estate offers something that the sand section doesn’t….space.  While the goal for many home buyers is to live near the ocean and ideally have views of the ocean, the lots sizes closest to the ocean doesn’t allow for much, if any, outdoor space.  By comparison the lots in the hill section are often far larger, offering luxury home buyers tremendous ocean views, while still allowing for a large home and a large yard.”

Currently there are 7 active homes for sale ranging from just under a millon dollars on the city side of the area, to just under $9.0M for a spectular home on the ocean side.
