What’s Happening in North Torrance Real Estate?

Welcome to the market update for real estate in North Torrance.  North Torrance is the neighborhood just off of Artesia Blvd just south of the homes of Lawndale CA and Gardena.  This area has some of the more affordable single family home options compared with other parts of Torrance in some great neighborhoods.  Some of the reason for homes being less expensive than in West Torrance and Southwood is A) it’s a bit further from the beach B) the neighborhoods are closer to commercial and industrial property so there are some great small streets but they’re generally not far from busier areas and C) the schools are still great but not quite as highly rated.

Not surprisingly given the coronavirus impacts, the number of homes for sale has gone up while the number of recent sales has dropped slightly (see chart  showing the past 15 months)

Location, Location, Location – Oceanfront Home in the Hollywood Riviera

Beachfront homes in the Hollywood Riviera don’t come along all that often. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, 505 Paseo De La Playa might be the home and location for you.  The home is listed at $5,500,000 this is a 4 bedroom (one bedroom downstairs and 3 upstairs), 3 bath home with just under 3,200 square feet.  Offering really large (by South Bay standards) lots that extend all the way from Paseo De La Playa to the sands of Torrance Beach they are very unlike the beachfront homes of the Manhattan Beach Strand and Hermosa Strand,    It’s rare to see one of these incredible oceanfront homes hit the market and this is no exception.  Built in 1962 it’s an older home that feels pretty dated and will likely get/need quite a bit of work to become a luxury home,  but as they say in real estate, “location, location, location”.

505 Paseo De La Playa

Details:

  • 4 bedrooms
  • 3 baths
  • 3,179 square feet
  • 26,985 foot lot
  • Oceanfront
  • Priced at $5,500,000

Big Jump In Pending Home Sales for Torrance

Although this is likely to change given the challenges of Covid 19 and it’s impact on local real estate, the beginning of 2020 has seen a big jump in pending home sales in Torrance.  December of 2019 saw a multi year low, due primarily to the very low number of available homes for sale.  That has changed dramatically since the new year, however…..pending homes sales have gone from 49 in December to,  83 in January to 124 in February (March numbers should be coming soon).
