South Bay Home Listings On the Rise….As Well as Pending Sales and Sold Homes

First the good news for buyers.  The number of new listings has continued to increase for the past several months with monthly increases since January (March was an exception). Unfortunately that hasn’t meant finding a home is any easier as the increase in listings has also seen a significant increase in home sales and pending escrows. According to Keith Kyle, Realtor with South Bay Brokers in Manhattan Beach, “the increased number of listings is a good sign, but it hasn’t alleviated much of the pent up demand.

Home Sales On the Rise in the Beach Cities

May 2013 was a big month for both the number of home sales and prices in the cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, Redondo Beach and El Segundo.  Both the number of sales and home prices were on the rise.  The chart below paints a pretty clear picture that the number of homes for sale, as well as pending sales and closed home sales is on the rise.  According to local real estate expert Keith Kyle, “as we see the inventory of new listings rise we should start to see the return of a balanced market.   We had a very unusual turnaround in which we went directly from a buyers market to a sellers market and never really reached an equilibrium.”

Home Listings on the Decline

The number of frustrated South Bay home buyers (and buyers agents) continues to rise as the inventory of available homes in the South Bay and Beach Cities continues to decline with a multi year low for the month of October.  October closed out with 224 active homes for sale in Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo and El Segundo which was dramatically lower than any other month and down over 50% from last September.  Currently there are 216 homes for sale with the downward trend appearing to continue.  Pending sales were on the rise as well with October closing with  180 homes in escrow.  That’s an unbelievable ratio of active to pending sales and something not seen in many years.  Click here to view the current homes for sale or to see October 2012 home sales per city.
