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).

Torrance Market Update – March 2020 Home Sales in Torrance CA

March 2020 was another solid month for real estate in Torrance CA….the South Bay’s largest city.  There were 84 on market closed sales during the month which is down slightly from March 2019 but was still the highest since the beginning of 2020.  The number of pending sales has jumped considerable each month of 2020 thus far so one would have expected that to continue.

March numbers were not yet impacted by Covid 19 so that will likely change things quite a bit as many “pending” escrows have fallen out and are now back on the market.  The median asking price was $787,000 with the median “sold” price at $815,000 which means that home were selling WAY over the list price indicating a market VERY favorable to sellers.  The average price per foot was $515.80 and median days on the market was only 9 before going into escrow.  4 of the sales were in the 55+ community of New Horizons which was certainly more than any other specific neighborhood.

State of Torrance Real Estate Market As We Head into 2020

Welcome to our Torrance real estate update for the coming year.   2020 is looking to be another banner year for home sellers as the combination of seemingly endless demand and historically low interest rates means more people will be looking to purchase a home.

View the current homes for sale in Torrance California.

In general the real estate market seems to be slowing down heading into 2020 but for a very odd reason…..each month there are fewer homes hitting the market.  Fewer listings mean fewer home sales.  January saw a very slight uptick in the number of listings so we’re hopeful that is a trend that continues.  Other than that small bump in January, the number of homes for sale has dropped every month since May of 2019

According to Torrance realtor Keith Kyle, “It’s clear that the market is cooling off as there has been an increase in new listings coupled with fewer sales and homes going into escrow since summer.”  The chart above shows that the number of active listings has held pretty steady between 150 and 170 since summer, but the number of sold homes as well as new escrows has continued to decrease.  If this trend continues the market will shift more in favor of buyers and less in favor of sellers.  It’s clearly been a sellers market over the past few years.

The chart below shows the upward trend over the past few months with avarage “months of inventory” of unsold homes on the rise.

Torrance Real Estate Market By the Numbers – January Home Sales and Prices

As is fairly typical of the real estate market after the holidays, January was a pretty slow month in terms of home sales in Torrance.  There were 61 home sales/closed sales during the month which is considerably lower than the norm.  Compare that with 101 sales in December, 90 in November and 119 in October and you can see just how slow it was.

The median price of the “active” homes for sale  in Torrance was $775,000 with the median price of the homes that sold at $770,000.  Median price per foot was $526.18 and homes only averaged 28 days on the market before selling.    There were quite a few condo sales both in the Plaza Del Amo area as well as a few 55+ sales in Village Court and New Horizons senior communities.
