Why Homes are More Expensive in South Redondo than North Redondo Beach

Why South Redondo Homes Cost More than North Redondo Homes

For buyers (and sometimes even sellers) unfamiliar with the differences in local market in the South Bay, Redondo Beach is just one single real estate market.  In reality the differences between neighborhoods can be significant and home values and prices show a clear distinction between similar homes in North Redondo and South Redondo.    The city has a number of distinctive neighborhoods but the main sections are broken into North and South and the dividing line is basically 190th Street.  North Redondo is quite a bit less expensive due to the location as it sits behind Hermosa and Manhattan Beach so there are no homes with ocean views and the feel of the area is different as it’s not along the water.  South Redondo ends at the beach and the ocean to the west and has a unique beach charm and homes often have great views.  The recent listings and sales of very similar homes, both in terms of style, layout, size and new construction, make clear the differences in values.

February 2014 Home Sales in Redondo Beach and the South Bay

By Keith Kyle

With inventory remaining low throughout most of the South Bay, the volume of sales continued to be lower than normal, but certainly not due to a lack of demand. Prices continued to rise with multiple offers on many appropriately priced homes and days on market remaining very low. Click on any city below to see the homes sales and prices for February 2014

Is $1.0M the New Price Point For New Construction Townhomes?

By Keith Kyle

With prices rising rapidly in North Redondo Beach, the bar has now apparently been set for new construction 2 on a lot townhomes.  With the recent sales of all 4 units at 2016 and 2018 Gates, all priced at $999,000 the pricing for new construction 4 bedroom townhomes appears to be something unheard of in the past for this neighborhood.  The homes are certainly well done with high end finishes, square footage between 2400 and 2500 square feet, and each having small yards but the general consensus is that hitting the $1.0M price is a very big number for North Redondo townhomes.  Known in the area as “2 on a lot” townhomes they feel more like single family homes than townhomes.  They are completely detached, have direct garage access and private yards.   The property is shared among the 2 owners that comprise of the HOA.  In most cases the agreement between owners is pretty informal and often only insurance and landscaping are shared costs.  Contact us for information on these wonderful alternatives to single family homes or fill in our free listing update form to receive new listings daily.  See below for all of the 2013/14 sales of these 2 on a lot new construction townhomes.

Golden Hills in North Redondo

Located just east of Hermosa Beach, the “Golden Hills” section of Redondo Beach offers great home values for the South Bay. The homes in the Golden Hills are affectionately known as the “tall and skinnies” and many offer great square footage for much less than in neighboring Hermosa and Manhattan. Redondo Beach offers great schools, proximity to the beach, and an abundance of activities. Home prices generally range from the low $1,000,000’s to over $2.4M for new construction and the homes are usually 3-4 bedrooms.

Short sale inventory down in Redondo Beach

It wasn’t too long ago that most buyers had heard all of the horror stories involved with and wouldn’t go near them. In many conversations I explained to buyers that if they were looking for a “deal” a short sale was definitely the way to go. Unfortunately that just doesn’t seem to be the case any longer as short sale inventory is way down and anything initially priced below market value is quickly in escrow with multiple offers and most seem to be selling at numbers much closer to market value. According to Keith Kyle, a South Bay short sale specialist, “it’s a combination of lower inventory and a much more streamlined short sale process in which most short sales are going through. No longer are buyers overly cautious about potential short sales taking 6 months or more like they had in the past.” While short sale may not be the bargain they once were, they still are the likeliest source of well priced homes if and when you can find them. For a current list of foreclosures visit either our Redondo Beach foreclosures site, or our South Bay foreclosures and short sales listings.

Fusion South Bay Inventory Finally on the Rise

Fusion South Bay is a small gated community in the area of Hollyglen. Although in the city of Hawthorne, the community has it’s own school system and has a distinctly different feel than many other neighborhoods of Hawthorne. The towhomes in Fusion offer a great alternative to buyers looking in nearby Redondo Beach and Torrance as prices generally range between $450,000 and $600,000 but as the homes were built around 2006 and 2007 they are much newer and more upgraded than the equivalent price range in neighboring cities.

As of November 6th, 2013 the inventory finally seems to be on the rise again with 4 units currently on the market.
