Inventory, Home Sales, Pendings and Prices All Rising in Golden Hills of Redondo Beach

Unlike the adjacent neighborhoods of Manhattan and Hermosa Beach, the real estate market in the Golden Hills of Redondo Beach, just east of Hermosa has been somewhat unique in recent months.  Everything seems to be on the rise with the number of active homes for sale increasing, sales increasing, pending home sales increasing and prices on the rise.  The area is home to a rather unique type of single family home known as a “tall and skinny” in the local real estate world.  With lots dimensions at 25 x 100 and minimal setback requirements, most homes are only separated by 5 feet and is something not seen in many other neighborhoods. Read more about the pros and cons of Golden Hills Real Estate.  According to Redondo Beach real estate specialist Keith Kyle, “we’re seeing homes selling over list price, with multiple offers on a fairly regular basis and prices have rebounded considerably in 2013.”

Lack of Starter Homes Available in the Golden Hills of Redondo Beach

Many South Bay home buyers are looking for a starter home in the Beach Cities often look to the Golden Hills area of Redondo Beach.  The area offers homes often referred to as “tall and skinnies” due to the very narrow and long lots created when the area was originally subdivided.  The Golden Hills area is located just east of Hermosa Beach between Artesia and 190th.  Homes are often significantly less expensive then identical homes just several blocks away in the Hill Section of Hermosa.  The homes generally start in the mid $700K range for something with 1700 square feet or so, but there are always less expensive options….until recently.  While pulling comparables for a Redondo Beach home seller, it was hard to believe that of the 8 homes priced below $750,000 only one was active and all others were pending.  That’s a fairly incredible ratio, even in this very active market.  If home sellers are considering selling their entry level Golden Hills home, now may be a great time.

The chart below shows just how far down our inventory has come on single family homes priced below $750,000.  September of last year had 13 active SFR listings in the Golden Hills in this price range while now we only have one.  That’s a fairly incredible turn around in one year but the inventory has steadily dropped.
