Torrance home sales for March of 2016

By Keith KyleHollywood Riviera homes for sale

March was yet another very busy month for home sales in Torrance and the South Bay with home prices continuing to go up and the number of home sales rising as well.  The demand has been pretty overwhelming in certain areas such as West Torrance, South Torrance and the Hollywood Rivera and multiple offer situations selling over the list price being the norm.

Torrance saw 109 home sales in March of 2016 with the average list price of $648, 831 and the average sales price at $648,460 which again shows that very few homes are selling below list price….even in a market in which inflated prices are becoming more common.  The lowest priced home of the month was a 1 bedroom condo in the County Strip area (not actually part of Torrance but a Torrance P.O. making for much lower prices)at $172,900 and the most expensive was $1,160,000 for a 5 bed/4 bath, 3000 square foot single family home in the Hollywood Riviera.

Single family homes in Torrance

Home Sales are Up While Inventory Way Down in West Torrance

Keith KyleSingle family homes in Torrance

Where did all the homes go in West Torrance?

Well the limited number of homes that were on the market all sold leaving inventory down once again.

The chart below shows the number of active listings (light green) sold homes (dark green) and pending home sales (red line) The greater the discrepancy between active homes and sold homes indicates a buyers market and when the numbers are closer a sellers market is indicated as inventory is down. February saw 13 homes close escrow with only 6 active homes for sale. As of April 17th there are 8 active homes for sale and 13 homes in escrow.
