There's been lots of chatter about low inventory for months on end.  While the inventory still remains low, in my opinion the number one reason for homeowners and landlords to place their South Bay of Los Angeles property on the market is interest rates are still hovering around 4%, give or take a bit depending on the buyer's credit score and loan required.  Yes, there may not be as many homes to choose from, but a 30 year mortgage at 4% is so appealing many buyers are willing to make compromises on their list of "Must Have"  for their new home.

Two Natural Beauties–Palos Verdes Lifestyle

By | May 15th, 2014|An Agent's Life, Favorite Photos - Palos Verdes, Front Page, Inspiration, Lifestyle in Palos Verdes|

I'm constantly reminded how fortunate I am to live in the naturally beautiful coastal area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  The Pacific Oceans gifts us with gentle breezes, rhythmic waves and an enviable year-round temperate climate.  Yes, occasionally we must tolerate the hot, dry Santa Ana winds, as we are at the moment with our 100 degree temperatures and 3% humidity, but it's usually only a few days until the winds reverse, and once again roll in off the ocean offering relief and a return to the weather we're accustomed to enjoying. I love the open spaces, the hiking and [...]

Got Goats?

By | May 10th, 2014|Front Page, Horse Property, Lifestyle in Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes|

Nomadic goat herds roaming the hills and canyons of Rancho Palos Verdes recall another era, if not another century.  It's refreshing to see progress can take us back to the past as well as hurl us into the future. Actually, I thought it would be perfect to take this photo with an overhead drone to capture the something old, something new combination, but alas, we had to settle for the lowly iPhone of my son, Josh, as he drove from one home inspection to the next last week. Grazing goats, chomping away at their own speed, are clearing the open [...]

Last night I found myself wondering about the distribution of luxury homes in the cities that make up the South Bay area of Los Angeles.  Yes, I still think of real estate after business hours, if there is such a thing as "after hours" in real estate.  For years  I blogged about luxury homes in Palos Verdes and the Beach Cities, today I'm going to check a few cities  where we sell property, but do not often write about. For this article we will define "luxury home" as residential properties (single family, townhouse or condo) with a list price of [...]
