July 2013 Home Sales in The South Bay – By the Numbers

July was a record month in many South Bay cities as we saw a multi year high number of new listings, pending homes sales and closed home sales.  This may be the increase in home inventory that eventually balances the market as opposed to the drastic seller’s market at the moment.

Inventory On The Rise In the Beach Cities and South Bay!

It’s taken a while but inventory is finally steadily increasing with 4 straight months of rising number of homes for sale.  July saw the number active homes on the MLS at 583 which is the highest since September of 2012 which was a vastly different market.  The chart below shows the past 2 years of active listings (light green column) pending home sales (red line) and sold homes (teal column).  According to Manhattan Beach real estate agent Keith Kyle, “the rising number of homes for sale should be good news for buyers but there is still incredible demand which will continue to translate into higher home prices”.  The cities included in the chart below are Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, El Segundo and the communities of Palos Verdes

The number of pending home sales in July 2013 was the highest since March of 2012 with 400 pending sales, and the number of sold homes in July was 411, which was the highest month in over 5 years.  To view the home sales in the individual cities in the South Bay click here.

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.
