The real estate market in Torrance has taken a hit lately, just as everywhere else. Home prices have been very solid but home sales dropped significantly over the past 2 months. That may be reversing course in a big way. While home sales dropped to 49 in May pending sales more than doubled from April so we may be back on track quicker than anticipated.
The real estate market numbers are in for May and they paint a very interesting picture. The number of home sales during the month was way down with only 49 total on market closed escrows. Compare that with 123 home sales in May of 2019 and it’s hard to dispute that the concerns and uncertainties of the coronavirus hasn’t had a major impact. That being said the prices were very impressive indicating a very strong seller’s market.
The median list price was $789,900 while the median sold price was $810,000 meaning that most homes sold well higher than the list or asking price. Average price per foot was $527.14. The average days on market was 40 before going into escrow while the median days on market was a very short 10 days.

**Update**This is a post from 2020 and this home is no longer on the market.
Torrance is one of the more diverse cities in the South Bay when it comes to housing options. Some of the least expensive homes can be found in Torrance as well as some of the most expensive. The highest prices are almost always found along the beachfront street known as Paseo De La Playa. 425 Paseo De La Playa has a Redondo mailing address but is actually serviced by the city of Torrance. While it’s hard to imagine a home can be a bit of a project at $12,000,000 the eventual buyer is likely to spend a healthy amount truly making this one of the more spectacular homes in the South Bay.
425 Paseo De La Playa is one of those rare legacy type homes. Perched on the bluffs above Torrance Beach in the Hollywood Riviera, the home offers incredible and unblockable ocean views. The 28,000+ sq foot lot is unheard of in the South Bay and as with all of the homes along the west side of Paseo, the lots extend all the way to the beach, but this home has an enormous amount of land in front of the home as well. The gated entry and true estate feel make for endless possibilities.While this home is in need of some updating to truly make it a legacy home, the basics are all here.
Listing provided by John Tran and Martin Le of NextGen Team Realty
Torrance has an abundance of great parks but none really compare with the features and amenities of Wilson Park. It’s a sprawling patch of beautiful green open space in the heart of Torrance and across the street from the complexes of Plaza Del Amo. Located at 2200 Crenshaw Blvd 90501 the aminities and facilities are as diverse as they come. About the only thing it’s missing is an aquatics center.
They certainly have the usual features…..playgrounds, fields, etcl, but it really is much more of a “recreation center” than a park. Some of the many things to do at Wilson Park include:
Also available to reserve:
The park is just amazing with ample parking, playground areas, incredible and unique sports facilities, fields and more. What makes this so unique is some of the athletic areas unseen just about anywhere else. These include the usual softball, baseball, soccer fields and tennis and basketball courts but also include a roller hockey rink, futsal turf field, batting cages, a childrens summer water area and a small guage railroad offering actual rides.
Welcome to our quick real estate recap for April. Torrance definitely saw a drop in the number of home sales during the month with 81 closed home sales compared with 99 a year earlier.
