Paseo De La Playa homes

If it has a panoramic view why can’t I see it?

Working and living in a beach community, much of the appeal, and what buyersoceanfront homes in Palos Verdes CA are searching for are views of the ocean. Many listings tout their panoramic ocean views, whitewater views, Catalina views etc so why can’t I seem to find a picture of it? Buyers these days are savvy and understand that realtors often use words like cozy or quaint when they mean small, charming to mean original condition, etc. so when they can’t see the view, they just may not believe it has the view. We are not only selling homes in Manhattan Beach, but a lifestyle and if a picture is worth a 1000 words, this is a missed opportunity.

The Village in South Redondo Beach May Be the Most Affordable Ocean Views

The Village, located on Catalina Blvd in South Redondo Beach, is a condo complex just east of King Harbor. It offers some resort type amenities   with a hotel style pool and exercise facility, and is ideally located walking distance to just about everything. What’s perhaps the best aspect may be the prices. Each building consists of primarily 619 square foot one bedroom condos and due to the angular patios almost all have some type of ocean view.   Each building also offers 2 studios on the easternmost part of each floor, and 2 bedroom condos, which rarely become available, on the westernmost, ocean facing side of the buildings.  The Village consists of 6 larger 3 story (they’re actually 4 or 5 levels depending on garages but 3 floors of condos) buildings and 3 buildings with townhome type units.  According to Keith Kyle, one of the top Redondo Beach realtors that specializes in the area, “The Village is an ideal fit for buyers looking for a vacation type feel.  Most owners use the condos as a second home or as a beach rental as demand is always high for ocean view homes.”

Parking is located below each building (parking for each unit is not necessarily in the same building) and units can either have one or two spaces.  Laundry is common area located near the 1st floor garage in most cases.  Click here to see a map of The Village Condominiums and Townhomes.  Click here To see a video tour of some other ocean view and ocean front communities.

Hermosa Beach Pending Home Sales Reach 5 Year High

Hermosa Beach has long been one of the more sought after coastal communities with demand for homes in the small beach community always high.  Recent market conditions have created an even greater demand as inventory of active home listings has continued to decline while the few homes available quickly go into escrow.  The 31 homes in escrow or “pending” in June of 2013 is the highest number since 2007 and is helping drive prices up as demand continues to soar.

June saw 37 active MLS listings and homes for sale, 31 pending home sales and 18 closed escrows or sold homes. Visit our home sales page to see the homes sold in June 2013 and prices for the sold homes.  According to long time Hermosa Beach resident and top real estate agent Keith Kyle with South Bay Brokers, “This is an almost ideal climate for sellers with the usual summer demand in full effect due to buyers looking for homes in the Hermosa Beach school district, low inventory, historically low interest rates and prices continuing to rise.
