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.

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.

Torrance Housing Inventory Still Down But on the Rise

By Keith Kyle

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.
