The real estate market numbers are in for May and they paint a very interesting picture. The number of home sales during the month was
way down with only 49 total on market closed escrows. Compare that with 123 home sales in May of 2019 and it’s hard to dispute that the concerns and uncertainties of the coronavirus hasn’t had a major impact. That being said the prices were very impressive indicating a very strong seller’s market.
The median list price was $789,900 while the median sold price was $810,000 meaning that most homes sold well higher than the list or asking price. Average price per foot was $527.14. The average days on market was 40 before going into escrow while the median days on market was a very short 10 days.

neighborhoods and communities. Prices range dramatically so it’s great to focus stats and trends on small parts of town as well as Torrance real estate in general. 2019 saw 96 “on market” home sales in the community of Old Town Torrance. This neighborhood has a charming historic feel unlike anything else in the South Bay. The median “list” price was $690,000 with the median home sale priced at $689,500 meaning that homes basically sold for full price during the year. This continued the trend of being a very solid “seller’s market”. Homes were on the market an average of 34 days before selling or going into escrow. The lowest price of the year was $255,000 for a one bedroom condo on Cabrillo with the highest priced sale of the year being $1,130,000 for a two unit property on Arlington. The majority of the home sales were single family homes and several were beautiful historic craftsman homes which is what makes this neighborhood in Torrance so special.
