Torrance, CA and the South Bay saw another strong month for home prices although a few cities saw big percentage drops in average home prices.  Those numbers, especially in smaller cities, or in a month with fewer home sales, don’t really mean much, but taken over times gives a good indication as to what is happening in the local Torrance real estate market.

Torrance had a slightly lower than average month with 85 home sales,with median home prices in the mid $500,000’s.

Oceanfront homes on Paseo De La Playa

Oceanfront Home for at 501 Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera Sells at $5,300,000

By Keith Kyle

I’ve been fortunate to represent a few clients on purchases or sales along Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera and the locations is nothing short of spectacular.  Paseo De La Playa is the oceanfront street that connects Redondo Beach with the beginning of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and offers a lifestyle not found in many places.  Hollywood Riviera is a unique area as it has a Redondo Beach address but is actually located in the city of Torrance.

The recent sale of 501 Paseo De La Playa is no exception.  This 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home sits high on the bluff and offers mesmerizing views of the ocean, Palos Verdes and the beautiful coastline from Redondo to Malibu.  This oceanfront home was listed for $5,500,000 and sold for $5,300,000.

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.
