Update**As of January 25th this home had received 28 offers and were no longer accepting new offers. This wasn’t surprising given the price being so far below market value for this West Torrance neighborhood.
We haven’t seen a price like this in west Torrance in some time and this one is definitely on the radar for many buyers. The home needs extensive work but has some great bones and it’s in an ideal location. The price probably eliminates all but the most daring flippers as it probably needs additional square footage and a master bath, but it seems an ideal fit for the owner user that wants to do the rehab work themselves. Other than the bathroom… a coat of paint, refinishing of the hardwood floors (from what we could see they were in great shape under the carpet) and lots of cosmetic love would go a very long way in making the home livable.
One challenge is the very odd somewhat enclosed patio leading off of the side and back of the house. It’s just…well…odd and doesn’t feel like an indoor or outdoor space. It also wasn’t permitted so the simplest solution is probably a sledgehammer.
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.

You don’t have to look far to see that investor owned “flipped” houses are a significant portion of the active home listings in North Torrance. Investors have long sought out homes in this area as many homes, most built post WWII in the late 1940’s and 1950’s, have not been updated in any significant way but are usually well built and structurally in good shape. Those factors, along with great schools and highly sought after neighborhoods, have made North Torrance a fairly ideal market with low inventory and prices on the rise since early 2013. Gone are the days of distressed sales and short sales, so the margins have grown much tighter but given the demand, expect to see an abundance of remodel and flipped property in 2015. Below are just a few of the recent flips but there are certainly others and will be more coming to the market. Contact us about any of these homes, to find out about upcoming remodels or to look for potential investment/”as is” opportunities.
