Holidays in Redondo – Riviera Village Holiday Stroll 2015

One of the great aspects of life in the South Bay is the sense of communitycharming shopping and dining area of Riviera Village thebeach cities offer.  One of the best times of the year to enjoy that community is the holiday season with each city having numerous events and festivities.  On December 3rd from 5-9pm is the always fun and cheerful Riviera Village holiday stroll.

Riviera Village is already a charming shopping and  dining area that is
pedestrian friendly with a variety of places to choose from.  For the holiday stroll, Catalina Avenue is shut down to car traffic and turned into a pedestrian only festival, making it a safe and fun way to start the holidays.

The Holiday Parade down Catalina Ave. steps off at 6 pm and features local bands, scout troops, dance groups, and some Redondo Beach dignitaries.

Riviera Village offers a wonderful holiday atmosphere with carolers and music, twinkling lights, horse drawn carriage, decorations and in years past has even seen a bit of snow!

Catalina Avenue will be closed to traffic from Avenue I to Elena Avenue from 5 to 9 p.m. to facilitate the happy shoppers.

 

 

Gated community of Fusion South Bay

It’s a Frenzy in Fusion South Bay Real Estate Market

By Keith Kyle

**please note that this post was from 2015**

The torrid home market in Fusion South Bay continues to amaze with any new listing being quickly snatched up and almost all of the recent sales having multiple offers and selling for well over the asking price.  Since the beginning of October there have been 3 closed sales with my “A” unit listing listed at $530,000 and selling for $547,000, a “B” unit listed at $519,000 and closing at $545,000 and a “D” model with no upgrades listed at $585,000 and selling at $611,000.  Those are fairly astounding numbers and the trend shows no sign of slowing down.  Currently there are 5 units in escrow and all scheduled to close at very large and above previous peak numbers.  What makes Fusion townhomes so highly sought after is the combination of affordability for the location (just east of Manhattan Beach, gated community living, recent construction (2006 and 2007) and all of the features that come along with it, and the highly rated Wiseburn School District.

South Redondo homes

Increased inventory slowing the market for high end Hollywood Riviera homes

By Keith KyleSouth Redondo homes

A noticeable increase in number of homes for sale at $1,500,000 and above has seemed to put the brakes on a very hot real estate market in the Hollywood Riviera.  The buying public had been clamoring for more homes on the market and now that they’ve arrived, it seems they’re not selling.  The $1,100,000-$1,400,000 price point is still extremely active, but the increased inventory of high end homes has definitely slowed the market.  Certain homes such as the recent listing at 225 Via Alameda which sold with multiple offers right from the start, are the exception at the moment and not the rule.  It’s not uncommon to see these higher price point homes sitting on the market for months which is a distinct difference from some other high end areas in the South Bay.  The chart below shows the number of active, pending and sold homes by month for homes priced over $1,500,000 and clearly indicates almost double the number of homes for sale while pending and sold listings are down.

A Number of Condos Listings Hit the Market in Seascape One Redondo Beach

By Keith Kyle

There’s been a definite lack of inventory in the world of ocean view and ocean front condos in Redondo Beach over the past 18 months.  Prices have risen dramatically as inventory dipped to record lows and demand for the “vacation” style feel of complexes such as the Seascape buildings, The Village and condos on the Esplanade have continued to grow.  At least in one complex there’s been a higher than usual number of homes coming on the market in recent days.  Seascape One is located in the 200 block buildings of The Village (which is unusual in itself as it’s actually on Catalina).  As of July 18th there are 3 units for sale in Seascape One.  Of the 3 2 offer a interior garden view (this is the only Seascape or Village building offering interior facing units) and one offers some pretty significant ocean and harbor views.  Built in 1978 the condos are fairly ideally located just behind King Harbor and walkable to the pier, the beach, and the shops and restaurants of the King Harbor area.
