Seaside Ranchos A Great Combination of Neighborhood Feel and Beach Proximity

April 17, 2014 by Keith Kyle

By Keith Kyle

Many buyers actively seek Torrance neighborhoods for the wonderful community feel, tree lined streets, great schools and family friendly vibe.  Nowhere is this more embodied than in the Seaside Ranchos area of South Torrance.  The Seaside Ranchos neighborhood is often called Sleepy Hollow or the Christmas Lights area due to the annual show put on by the residents with lights strung across the Chinese Elm trees that line the streets.  Sitting just North of Pacific Coast Highway as it turns inland near the Palos Valos Peninsula the neighborhood is a collection of beautiful homes on larger lots.    The majority of the homes offer 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and due to the much larger lots than in most areas of Torrance often have fantastic backyards.

The tree lined streets offer a very safe and friendly feel and give the area it’s “Christmas Lights” nickname as all of the community trees are wrapped in white lights during the holidays and rare is the home that isn’t decorated with lights and decorations.  The area has become so popular during the holidays that traffic is restricted in the evenings and cars line up for seemingly hours to drive through the spectacular display.  Prices generally start in the low $1,000,000s and can price over the $2.5M mark for some of the most impressive homes on oversized lots.  One of the newest communities in the South Bay is just nearby as well.

Will Overpricing Help Slow the Market Down?

January 8, 2014 by Keith Kyle

By Keith KyleTorrance Homes

I’ve noticed an early January trend in some of the local markets as many homes now seem to be listed at prices that recent sales just don’t seem to justify. Will this overpricing help slow the market down a little as we’re starting to see some homes sit on the market and even eventual price reductions.

We’ve seen the market increase in value dramatically in the past 12 months with values generally rising each month but since late November we seem to be seeing more homes priced well above the current market and well above the pricing trend. Only time will tell what 2014 has in store in the Beach Cities real estate market but as perception is such a real part of real estate, buyers now seeing homes sit on the market without selling may mark the beginning of a slow down.
