January SOLD Beach Cities


So far this year seems to be a different story when compared to last year.. Inventory is down by 50% from last year for Manhattan Beach homes and townhomes in North Redondo. I use these two areas as they seem to reflect the market as a whole.... that is upper end and entry level for the beach cities. Last year they both maintained large inventories for most of the year and the real estate market remained very slow. The decline in inventory appears to be because property is selling not being withdrawn from the market. Prices are still negotiable which is good news for buyers. The market is approaching normal something we haven't seen in years.
For most of last year the townhome inventory in North Redondo stayed between 130-140 available properties.. this was consistent from May to November. Today there are only 76 townhomes available. In Manhattan Beach there were 215 homes for sale at the end of October... today there are 98. For most of last year there were 50-60 townhomes available .. today there are 20. Along with sales for January I'm going to post the number of pending sales( in escrow sale price not released) to give you an indication of where the market is headed. As always the only sure thing about our Beach Cities market is that it is always changing!.
