What’s Happening in North Torrance Real Estate?

by

Welcome to the market update for real estate in North Torrance.  North Torrance is the neighborhood just off of Artesia Blvd just south of the homes of Lawndale CA and Gardena.  This area has some of the more affordable single family home options compared with other parts of Torrance in some great neighborhoods.  Some of the reason for homes being less expensive than in West Torrance and Southwood is A) it’s a bit further from the beach B) the neighborhoods are closer to commercial and industrial property so there are some great small streets but they’re generally not far from busier areas and C) the schools are still great but not quite as highly rated.

Not surprisingly given the coronavirus impacts, the number of homes for sale has gone up while the number of recent sales has dropped slightly (see chart  showing the past 15 months)

Schools are Very Important to the Torrance Real Estate Market

by

It’s no real secret that good schools help drive real estate values in certain neighborhoods and communities.  Buyers with kids want to be in areas with good schools and that higher demand helps keep values up.  Even those without kids greatly benefit from a strong school system.  The stronger the schools the more insulated a market is from any downturns.  That was very evident in Redondo Beach that saw home prices drop during the recession and housing crisis, but only a very small amount compared with other local areas that do not have as strong a school system.

A recent CAR study showed that 47% of home buyers said good schools were very importan, 23% said that they were somewhat important, 11% said not very important and 19% said that it was not important at all.

The 19% may not realize just how much of an influence schools play on values and demand.  Good elementary schools are often part of a good community and without question most buyers would like to live in a good community.

The Torrance Unified School District is highly ranked and that creates a very high demand, especially for families thinking of living in this coastal community.

The study also conclued that 43% of consumers age 34 or under believe highly rated schools are very important.  58% of consumers earning more than $100,000 a year think that highly rated schools are very important.

Torrance Schools….how they score

by

By Keith KyleTorrance-High-School

Without question one of the many reasons people want to live in Torrance is the highly ranked Torrance Unified School District.  From the elementary schools to the highly regarded high schools, the district has a lot to offer and always ranks high in state test scores.  Both South and West High were recently named one of the Top 500 Public High Schools by Newsweek.  See the school test scores in nearby Redondo Beach CA.

Torrance Home Sales in January 2015

by

Torrance saw a relatively low number of homes sold in January with 63 homes, condos and townhomes closing Torrance Home Searchescrow during the month (see Torrance real estate trends and market updates).  According to Torrance realtor Keith Kyle, “It’s not unusual to see a significant slowdown of closed home sales during January, as December is a very limited month for new listings and homes entering escrow.  With the holidays very little activity happens in the last 3rd of the month meaning far fewer closings in January.  Click here to view the home sales in Torrance, and other South Bay cities per month.

Torrance CA Real Estate Map

by

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 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.
