51 Active Homes for Sale in Torrance the Lowest in Over a Decade

by

It’s been clear for months that the inventory of “active” listings in the South Bay and Torrance has slowly been declining.  Each month both closed home sales and new escrows are at peak numbers but “new” listings just can’t keep up with the seemingly never ending demand.
As of 11/25 there are only 51 active listings on the MLS in all of Torrance which is pretty amazing.  Last October there were 88 homes for sale which was historically lower than normal.  This is definitely not good news for Torrance home buyers and is certainly not going to help with the housing crunch and unceasing demand.  See the Torrance real estate trends over the past 15 months to see just how low that is in comparison.

State of Torrance Real Estate Market As We Head into 2020

by

Welcome to our Torrance real estate update for the coming year.   2020 is looking to be another banner year for home sellers as the combination of seemingly endless demand and historically low interest rates means more people will be looking to purchase a home.

View the current homes for sale in Torrance California.

In general the real estate market seems to be slowing down heading into 2020 but for a very odd reason…..each month there are fewer homes hitting the market.  Fewer listings mean fewer home sales.  January saw a very slight uptick in the number of listings so we’re hopeful that is a trend that continues.  Other than that small bump in January, the number of homes for sale has dropped every month since May of 2019

According to Torrance realtor Keith Kyle, “It’s clear that the market is cooling off as there has been an increase in new listings coupled with fewer sales and homes going into escrow since summer.”  The chart above shows that the number of active listings has held pretty steady between 150 and 170 since summer, but the number of sold homes as well as new escrows has continued to decrease.  If this trend continues the market will shift more in favor of buyers and less in favor of sellers.  It’s clearly been a sellers market over the past few years.

The chart below shows the upward trend over the past few months with avarage “months of inventory” of unsold homes on the rise.

What Exactly Is Debt To Income Ratio

by

One of the key items that a lender takes into consideration when you’re getting pre approved for a loan and during the underwriting process is your debt to income ratio. This tells the lender how much money you owe each month compared with your monthly income to come up with a ratio to determine how much of a risk you are to them.  This ratio comes from adding up all of your debts including mortgages, auto laons, student loans, credit card balances and any other debt you pay off each month to your pre-tax income each month. Lenders have different thresholds that they’ll allow so it’s always good to talk with several lenders.  If you’re not comfortable getting the process started we would be happy to give you several lenders that we’ve worked with and that have earned our trust.
