Redondo Beach Ocean View Condo Update

For most of us, living ocean front in Manhattan Beach or Hermosa Beach is unrealistic and unaffordable. Prices generally start in the multi millions and the few Strand “fixers” that are still out there are usually quickly bought up by developers and builders. Redondo Beach is different, however, as zoning has made for larger condo complexes, many with great views, and almost all far more affordable.  As of November 6th 2012, there are currently 6 condos on the market….most with spectacular ocean views.  The most prominent areas to find ocean view condos in Redondo Beach are the Esplanade, the oceanfront street in the cities southernmost area, and The Village and Seascape which are a series of buildings built in the 1970s that generally overlook King Harbor.

El Camino Village Real Estate…Hot But Not

The area of Gardena and Lawndale known as El Camino Village has long been a fantastic option for buyers, especially first time home buyers, feeling priced out of many of the family friendly neighborhoods of Redondo Beach and Torrance. The good news is that although prices are going up, they’re still well below other similar areas….the bad news is that there just are no homes available. At the moment there is one home available with 12 pending home sales.  On first look that is an absolutely stunning ratio but it is a bit misleading.  Of the 12 homes 11 are short sales and the other is a flip meaning some of these homes have shown pending status for a very long time.  What looks to be an ultra hot market isn’t quite as active as it appears with an average days on market of 144.  Bottom line in this great area is that it is a great opportunity with the short sale opportunities, but with almost no active inventory and future home for sale likely won’t last long.  See below for the current El Camino Village homes for sale.

Manhattan Village Real Estate Market Activity

While much of the South Bay and Manhattan Beach real estate markets suffer from low inventory and high demand, making it difficult for many buyers to find the right home, Manhattan Village has seen an abundance of listings in the past month.  There are currently 4 homes on the market, 2 of which are court homes and two are town homes.  In addition a plan 5 estate home is soon due to come on the market as well.  In addition there are currently 3 court homes in escrow as well as 2 estate homes, which are actually single family homes located in a different area of Manhattan Village.  Manhattan Village is a gated community in the coastal community of Manhattan Beach and home prices generally range from the low $700,000s to over $2.0M for certain estate homes.
