Torrance Median Home Prices for February 2016

by

By Keith Kyle

Torrance, CA and the South Bay saw another strong month for home prices although a few cities saw big percentage drops in average home prices.  Those numbers, especially in smaller cities, or in a month with fewer home sales, don’t really mean much, but taken over times gives a good indication as to what is happening in the local Torrance real estate market.

Torrance had a slightly lower than average month with 85 home sales,with median home prices in the mid $500,000’s.

Oceanfront Home for at 501 Paseo De La Playa in the Hollywood Riviera Sells at $5,300,000

by

By Keith KyleHollywood Riviera

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.

Torrance home sales for March of 2016

by

By Keith Kyle

March was yet another very busy month for home sales in Torrance and the South Bay with home prices continuing to go up and the number of home sales rising as well.  The demand has been pretty overwhelming in certain areas such as West Torrance, South Torrance and the Hollywood Rivera and multiple offer situations selling over the list price being the norm.

Torrance saw 109 home sales in March of 2016 with the average list price of $648, 831 and the average sales price at $648,460 which again shows that very few homes are selling below list price….even in a market in which inflated prices are becoming more common.  The lowest priced home of the month was a 1 bedroom condo in the County Strip area (not actually part of Torrance but a Torrance P.O. making for much lower prices)at $172,900 and the most expensive was $1,160,000 for a 5 bed/4 bath, 3000 square foot single family home in the Hollywood Riviera.
