    How's the Hermosa Beach housing market? I fielded a call from a Hermosa Beach resident this afternoon.  He wanted to know if the local market was as 'hot' as he thought.

Make the Current Market Work for You Are you house hunting in a buyer or seller market?   It depends upon your price range.  Homes priced under $1,000,000 on the Palos Verdes Peninsula are in short supply.   Consequently, it is a white-hot sellers' market with only 32 homes available and 32 in escrow.  Those numbers translate to a one-month supply of homes at the current absorption rate.

  I have a new listing hitting the market next week right after I return from a business trip to Austin.  This morning while lingering over breakfast, with pen in hand, I jotted down words that came to mind as I thought about the ad copy I need to write.   Luxurious is the first word that came to mind.  It is certainly that.  Of course it is coastal, custom and has an envious ocean view too.  It is elegantly understated with fabulous finishes from the floors to the ceilings.
