Golden Hills of Redondo Beach

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.”

Wondering Why You Can’t Find that Dream Home in the South Bay?

It’s no secret that it’s a frustrating world out there for home buyers.  Oh how quickly things turned from a strong buyers market to a market clearly favoring sellers.  According to Redondo Beach Realtor Keith Kyle “There is incredibly low inventory everywhere and the high demand areas of the South Bay such as Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach have little to offer buyers at the moment”.  To make life even more frustrating for Beach Cities home buyers, is that the moment a well priced home comes on the market, the frenzy starts with buyers often going way over asking price, waiving the appraisal contingency and simply buying homes above current market value.  The chart below sums it up pretty clearly with the number of active homes for sale in the South Bay plummeting from over 1500 a year ago to just over 600 in December of 2012.  This is while the number of closed sales has remained steady.

The Days Of Redondo Beach Short Sales May Be Winding Down

Although the South Bay and certainly the Beach Cities were fairly protected fromRedondo Beach foreclosures the wave of short sales and bank foreclosures that plummeted prices in other areas of California, there were opportunities out there.  As Redondo Beach is both larger than neighboring Hermosa and Manhattan Beach, and typically caters to more first time home buyers, it felt the foreclosure brunt the most and it wasn’t a challenge to find “deals” on such properties.  Gone may be the days of short sale deals and homes selling below market value, as the inventory of both standard sales, and distressed home sales has continued to decline while demand has grown.  The influx of investors buying up short sale and foreclosures added to the pressure.  As of December 2011 there were 46 active short sales and foreclosures in Redondo Beach and just a year later the inventory was down to 9 distressed sales.  This will likely lead to rising prices as these short sales were the driving factor behind the declining prices over the past few years.
