Oh How Torrance Home Values Have Changed

October 19, 2014 by Keith Kyle

By Keith Kylepool-west-new

I received an odd phone call yesterday from a potential buyer that said she had been given a real estate flyer for a listing at 16808 Delia in North Torrance.  She said it was a well priced short sale and it was.  The only problem was that I sold this house at the beginning of 2012.  It had been a while since I thought of this house and upon pulling up the old listing I struck me just how dramatically the market has changed since then.  It was a very nice home, with a great yard and pool but unfortunately the owners were struggling and had to do a short sale.  We listed the home at $520,000 and it closed at $502,000.

What would it sell for now?

It would be just about impossible to find any single family home in that neighborhood, regardless of condition and size for that price in the current market.  That home that sold only 2 years ago would now sell for at least $750,000 which is simply incredible.  The speed with which the real estate market in Torrance and the South Bay was stunning and the changes to value equally unbelievable.

How Quickly we forget?

Another aspect of all this that struck me was just how short our memories can be.  Just 2 years ago there were so many homes with great prices and most buyers thought it would continue and go even lower.  These days the poor buyers that didn’t buy are priced completely out of neighborhoods that would have been very affordable.  The thought now is that it of course can only continue going up, but is that really the reality and has that much changed?  It’s certainly a great time to be a home seller, but not necessarily a great time to be a buyer.

Torrance Real Estate Map – Search Homes by Neighborhood

October 19, 2014 by Keith Kyle

Search current listings with our interactive Torrance real estate map.Torrance homes for sale

Torrance, California is a big city and it’s neighborhoods and areas vary considerably in the types of homes, feel of the neighborhood, and home prices.

As realtors, we search for homes by neighborhood so that we can best assist our clients to find the right type of homes in the right areas.

Below is a Torrance real estate map used by realtors and used in MLS home searches.  The numbers coincide with the areas that we use to search and each has it’s differences and similarities.  The three areas that often cause confusion are area 128 the Hollywood Riviera and areas 122 and 123, Harbor Gateway and County Strip.  Much of the Hollywood Riviera actually has Redondo Beach, 90277, zip codes but the area is actually part of Torrance and services and schools are Torrance.  The County Strip and Harbor Gateway areas actually have Torrance zip codes but are serviced by the city of Los Angeles.  It’s distance from the beach, proximity to commercial and industrial, and the schools being LA Unified makes the homes significantly less expensive then the city of Torrance areas.

Torrance Real Estate Market Trends

October 17, 2014 by Keith Kyle

The market in Torrance has continued to be very favorable to sellers with the demand so high and the inventory still considerably low.  The1310 Portola in Old Torrance past 3 months have seen a slight increase in inventory which may be temporary or may be showing signs that the very beginning of a more balanced market is on it’s way.  Keep in mind that Torrance is a big city and prices, demand, values, and trends can vary considerably throughout the city.  The chart below shows the number of active Torrance homes for sale (light green bar) the number of homes that went into escrow (red line) and the number of homes sold in that month (teal bar).  When the trend shows a monthly increase in homes for sale the market is heading towards a more balanced situation.  At the moment it is very much a sellers market.

For buyers, and especially first time buyers, the chart below is a helpful tool to determine what price to offer.  This is for all of Torrance and different neighborhoods vary, and certainly individual homes can be a different situation depending on what price is was listed at.  For the month of September selling prices were within 3% of the list prices.

What does this mean?

For buyers this generally means that “going in low” is probably not the right strategy.  Consult with your realtor as they should have a handle on what the value of the home should be and whether the asking price was set too high, or too low in the hopes of generating multiple offers and a potential bidding war.

Neighborhood Spotlight – Southwood Torrance Homes

October 15, 2014 by Keith Kyle

Sitting between West Torrance and South Torrance is the wonderful neighborhood of Southwood.  This small area also sits just east ofTorrance luxury kitchens Redondo Beach and the proximity to the ocean means milder weather and great ocean breezes that other parts of the city don’t enjoy.  Comprised mainly of 1940s and 1950s beach style bungalows, the area is still more affordable than some of the nearby beach cities while still having a certain charm lost in some of these other areas with oversized homes, makes a statement type architecture and over development.  Some homes have gone the route of maximum square footage, but the majority still look like homes that belong in the neighborhoods and give homeowners a bit of space and separation.  Although prices are still below neighboring South Redondo, they have risen dramatically in the past 2 years with most original smaller 3 bed/1 bath homes starting in the mid to low $600’s for fairly original, but nice condition, and the larger 3 bed/2 bath 1400 foot (many homes added a family room accounting for the extra square footage) selling anywhere from the mid to low $700s up to the low $900’s depending on location and condition.

What makes the area so special is the community feel, with an abundance of parks, dog parks and schools all within walking distance.   A quick drive down just about any street says it all with pride of ownership being quite apparent.  Manicured lawns, updated homes, tree lined streets and an abundance of neighbors walking the area makes for a great atmosphere.  Contact us if you are interested in learning more about Southwood or would be interested in receiving free email updates with the latest listings.
