Beach Cities of the South Bay of Los Angeles Update

By | March 6th, 2017|Beach Cities, Beach Cities Luxury, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach|

I was browsing about on Zillow for a luxury home in Manhattan Beach for one of my clients. I was surprised to see Zillow is predicting a small increase in value for the area in 2017.  On the other hand, property in the Beach Cities of the South Bay of Los Angeles has enjoyed a phenomenal surge in value since the housing market recovered from the recession years of 2008-2010. I'm happy to see the market taking a breather and not advancing toward a bubble; bubbles burst. 86 Manhattan Beach luxury homes priced at or above $3,000,000 sold during 2016. [...]

For the past eight years I've defined luxury homes in the local real estate market by one primary criteria--price.  When I began my local real estate blog, Palos Verdes Lifestyle, in 2007 the dividing line was rather arbitrarily drawn at $2,000,000 as the defining value marker.   The definition of luxury homes in the local real estate market remained stable during the real estate recession years and throughout the equity gain-back years.  The price criteria of luxury homes often falls into sub-categories that included coastal location with view, larger than average sq. ft. and superior condition.
