Redondo Beach Luxury Listings and Sales--October 2015


The "feel" on the street by those of us working in the real estate field on a daily basis is the market is slowing down and losing a bit of steam after three strong comeback years. The results of my research on recent activity in the Redondo Beach, CA luxury home market supports and converts the feeling into fact.

  • There are currently three Redondo Beach luxury homes priced at or over $3,000,000 for sale. 
  • There are no Redondo Beach high-end luxury homes currently in escrow and no closed sales in the over $3M price range for the month of September.

Market report Oct 2015 

After three plus years of a strong sellers' market the scale is making a slow move toward neutral territory. It's still not a buyers' market, but with more homes to choose from and a slowing of price increases, buyers may find the opportunity to purchase a luxury home in the beach cities of Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo or on the Palos Verdes Peninsula before interest rates begin their upward trend.

Hermosa Beach Luxury Homes - Oct 2015 - Toering


Three Hermosa Beach luxury properties priced at or above $3,000,000 sold during September 2015. The most expensive sale for the month was a Strand property sold for "lot value" at $8,100,000. Yes, a spot on the sand along The Strand is costly.

There are currently four Hermosa Beach luxury residences in escrow with accepted offers. Three of the properties are single family homes, one is a townhouse.

There are 13 luxury homes for sale in Hermosa Beach as of Oct. 17, 2015. One of the properties for sale is a townhouse, one is a condo, the rest are single family homes.

  Market report Oct 2015 
Sales in the Beach Cities luxury home market appear to have slowed in recent months. At the current rate of absorption there is over a three month supply of luxury inventory in Hermosa Beach. These numbers still favor sellers, but there are more choices available to buyers, and more competition for sellers, as the market moves toward a more neutral zone.

Redondo Beach Luxury Homes - Sept 2015

Redondo Beach CA

I recently read the California housing market slowed during the month of August 2015. The reason was attributed to the volatility of the stock market and other global happenings. On a more local level I've always attributed the "August decline" to vacations, back-to-school preparations and the last few weeks of the lazy days of summer. Who really wants to traipse through houses during the hottest days of the year? Personal reasons play an important role in when people decide to sell or purchase real estate.

Slider 2015 Sept All

Let's check how Redondo Beach luxury residences ($3,000,000+) survived August 2015:

1 Redondo Beach luxury property close escrow during the month of August.

0 Redondo Beach luxury homes are currently in escrow--looks like September will be a slow month for luxury sales in Redondo as well.

3 Redondo Beach luxury home listings are currently for sale.

We'd be honored to be your agent when time to sell your Redondo Beach luxury home.

Hermosa Pier
 Manhattan, NYC celebrated its noted Mahattanhenge event (those rare summer solstice days when the sun aligns with the east-west street grid) with a huge street party. Catching a glimpse of the setting sun is not easy deep in the heart of Manhattan. Quite the opposite is true in Hermosa Beach, CA. The sunset over the Pacific Ocean is a sight to behold most evenings throughout the year. There's truly something magical about twilight along the California coast. The colors, the light, the salt water smell in the air where sand meets surf are a nightly treat for the senses and soul. Hermosa Sunset

Manhattan Beach Luxury Home Market Update--July 2015

Manhattan Beach Houses near Ocean 
 Our market indicators point to a minute cooling off of luxury home sales in Manhattan Beach as we reach the halfway point of 2015. There's a slight increase in inventory and a dip in number of sales recorded on the local MLS. Although the market is still firmly planted in seller territory when it comes to who the market favors, there are still several positive indicators for buyers especially if they are obtaining financing for their luxury home purchase. Interest rates are still very good and as homes accumulate a growing number of days on market the playing field shared by buyer and sellers becomes more level.

  144 Homes in Manhattan Beach

The tally for June 2015 sales of luxury homes priced over $3,000,000 in Manhattan Beach stands at 10 with 61 days on the market being the average. There are currently 13 luxury homes in escrow with accepted offers, and 28 Manhattan Beach luxury homes are currently for sale.
