Hollywood Riviera homes for sale - 340 Via Colusa

So Where’s The Big Seasonal Increase in Homes in Torrance?

By Keith KyleHollywood Riviera homes for sale - 340 Via Colusa

As a realtor who has been doing this a while, I’ve come to expect a nice increase in houses for sale in mid to late January. As the holidays wrap up, football season ends, and everyone gets back to work, we generally see a nice increase in homes that hit the market. It can often set the tone for much of the year as and abundance of homes early in the year often seems to stabilize the market one way or another. Unfortunately 2015 hasn’t seen that increase as the number of active homes for sale continues to go down at a time when the homes for sale should be going up. It’s still early enough that sellers may yet be holding off for a week or two to put their homes on the market and it would be welcome relief for the home buyers sitting and waiting.

The chart below shows the number of homes for sale represented by the light green bar. As of January 29th there are only 161 homes for sale in all of Torrance.

The housing inventory in Torrance, CA is continuing to shrink with the number of available homes for sale decreasing every month since July of 2014.    The first half of 2014 saw a month over month increase in the available homes peaking in the busy summer buying season but that momentum didn’t last.  The peak month of July saw 232 homes available which has gone down every month since.  As of this post there are currently 151 homes currently on the market in the South Bay’s largest city.  The chart below shows the monthly numbers for active homes for sale (light green) current escrows (red line) and closed home sales (dark green).  Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions about the market or to receive an updated list of the current homes for sale.

 

Springwood Plaza Del Amo

An Abundance of New Torrance Townhome Listings on Plaza Del Amo

By Keith Kyle

One of the most affordable ways of owning a larger home in one of Torrance’s best neighborhoods may be the townhomes in the Plaza Del Amo area of Central Torrance.  There are a number of complexes each with a somewhat different feel and set of amenities, but all are centrally located and offer great square footage at reasonable prices.  The gated communities include Springwood, Windsong, Windmere, Summerwind and more.  Recently there have been a number of new listings in the various Plaza Del Amo complexes.

Current Torrance CA Foreclosures and Short Sales

Updated January 20th, 2015

While the number of distressed home sales in Torrance has dropped considerably in the past 2 years there are still a number of homes for sale at some stage of the foreclosure process.  Although these homes are not quite the bargains they were there are some homes that are still priced below market value due to the extra work and patience required by the home buyers.  The process has certainly gotten streamlined by the banks but they are still not as straightforward as traditional sales.
