Redondo Beach Luxury Home Report--December 2013

Redondo Beach remains the most affordable beach city along the South Bay of Los Angeles coastline. Most of the luxury single family homes hug the coastline and often have an Esplanade address. Redondo's coastline offers clifftop homes towering over the Pacific Ocean and homes when you can open your front door and be just steps from feeling the sand between your toes.

Located between Palos Verdes and Hermosa Beach the coastal city offers the beach lifestyle with shopping, freeways and entertainment at your fingertips. Although still considered a quiet village by many, I expect Redondo will experience increased growth during the next few years as the density and cost of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach create a spillover of consumers seeking the Southern California beach lifestyle at a more affordable price.

November Luxury Home Update for Redondo Beach:

• 3 Redondo Beach single family luxury homes are for sale--all located on The Esplanade. 
• 1 Redondo Beach single family luxury home is in escrow with an accepted offer. 
• 0 Luxury homes sold in Redondo Beach during November 2013.

Redondo Beach - Luxury Homes Report

Redondo Beach is one of three coastal cities in the South Bay of Los Angeles commonly referred to as "The Beach Cities" by the locals.  The majority of the homes in Redondo do not fall into the luxury (over 2M) price range, but there are pockets along the coast or in the hills with spectacular ocean view that do command prices well into the luxury range.

Redondo is adjacent to the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Hermosa Beach, both prime luxury markets in the South Bay. Below is an update on luxury homes sales and current listings in the Redondo Beach luxury home market:

• 4 Redondo Beach luxury homes are currently for sale ranging in price from $2,550,000 to $14,250,000.
• No Redondo Beach luxury homes are currently in escrow with an accepted offer.

Hermosa Beach Luxury Home Market Report for October 2013

If you're looking for the laid-back lifestyle and a more relaxed pace of daily life but still want to be close to the urban amenities of Los Angeles, it may be time to check out Hermosa Beach. Hermosa is the smallest of the three beach cities that hug the coastline in L.A.'s South Bay neighborhoods. There are only so many oceanfront and ocean view homes along the coast.

Hermosa Beach, with its gentle hills, lays claim to not only a long stretch of oceanfront but a myriad of ocean views from the cooperating topography. Sandwiched between Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, Hermosa's location offers a short commute to Los Angeles or you can cruise down Pacific Coast Highway to the low density area of Palos Verdes for a day of hiking or lunch at Terranea Resort. I'm a fan of both.

Hermosa Beach luxury home market report for October 2013:
 1) Two Hermosa Beach luxury homes priced over $2,000,000 sold during September 2013.
 2) Three Hermosa Beach luxury homes are in escrow with accepted offers.
 3) Seven Hermosa Beach luxury homes are currently for sale.
