Torrance Housing Inventory Still Down But on the Rise

By Keith Kyle1310_Portola_Ave_frontdoor1 copy

The real estate market in Torrance CA continues to be driven by the lack of homes for sale but for the third straight month we have seen an increase in the number of homes for sale.  Inventory has been on the rise since the low point in December but still far below the norm.  We have also seen an increase in the pending home sales over that same period of time and it appears that the inventory will continue to rise as we head towards the usually busy summer buying and selling season.  See all of the Torrance homes for sale or search by neighborhoods.  To see the most recent Torrance home sales visit our closed sale pages.

Torrance Foreclosures Continue to Dwindle

By Keith KyleForeclosure-sign

Torrace continues to see a decline in distressed home sales with only 5 actve short sales and no current bank owned homes or REO listings.  With property values continuing to rise and now that we’re beyond peak prices, the ability for distressed homeowners to sell for a profit (or not at a loss) has limited the foreclosure market to a trickle.  View the current distressed home sales in Torrance CA.  Contact realtor and Torrance specialist Keith Kyle for information on the market or any of the homes below.  To see foreclosures in other South Bay cities, visit our South Bay and Beach cities foreclosures page.

See the Homes That We Have Sold in Southern California

By Keith Kyle

We are so fortunate to have worked with so many wonderful people and in such a great area.  It just doesn’t get much better.  See the map below to view all of our local home sales. Although we’ve sold more homes in Torrance and Redondo, we have been lucky enough to sell throughout the area, from Santa Monica to Huntington Beach. Many of these were first time buyers and are now happy homeowners. The red marks are home sales in which I represented the buyer, the orange marks represent homes that I listed, and the blue marks represent homes in which I represented both buyers and sellers.  Click on the marks to see pictures of the various homes and properties.

You can also see the interactive map of our South Bay home sales on Google.
