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 buyers 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.

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.
