Luxury Apartment Living in the South Bay of Los Angeles

I have a client who is in the market to invest approximately $5MM in real estate. He is selling a commercial building and wants to roll the proceeds over into another property. Simple enough. The dilemma he faces is where to make a long term investment that will require minimum management but provide a decent return on investment. Retail seems like a high-risk venture with the disruption online shopping is creating in the industry. Will gas stations become a thing of the past as the 21st-century advances? As the economic climate changes so do an investors' goals and guidelines. One [...]

It's hot here in the Greater Los Angeles area, and per a bevy of weather forecasters, the thermometer is going to reach new heights today. With that in mind, I thought you might like to see a few photos of the beaches (and a few rocky coastlines) of the South Bay of Los Angeles.

The "feel" on the street by those of us working in the real estate field on a daily basis is the market is slowing down and losing a bit of steam after three strong comeback years.  The results of my research on recent activity in the Redondo Beach, CA luxury home market supports and converts the feeling into fact. There are currently three Redondo Beach luxury homes priced at or over $3,000,000 for sale.  There are no Redondo Beach high-end luxury homes currently in escrow and no closed sales in the over $3M price range for the month of September.

June gloom arrived on schedule with its heavy morning marine layer.  It's an accepted part of our weather life on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and surrounding coastal beach cities of Redondo, Hermosa and Manhattan.  The second week produced a few unexpected showers and humidity more in keeping with the years we spent in Florida and Maryland.  So far, June is full of surprises. Let's hope the Redondo Beach luxury home market is exhibiting a bit more stability as we get ready to welcome the summer months.

Rain in June is not the norm for Southern California, but this morning a light rain was falling when I walked Faye, my spunky little Chihuahua.  The air was filled with the scent of petrichor. That's the new word I recently added to my vocabulary as it means the smell of rain on the dry earth--and we certainly have plenty of dry earth in the South Bay of Los Angeles due to our relentless drought.  The origin of the word is Greek and is a combo of the words for "stone" and "blood of the gods."  Very fitting description for [...]

I'm a bit late in getting this market report out, but last week was graduation week and there were several ceremonies to attend along with celebratory dinners to recognize several new graduates in the family.  We added a political science major, a registered nurse, a Princeton bound high school grad and an 8th grade grad who was recognized for both his academic and athletic prowess.  It was a wonderful week on the family scene, but let's move on to real estate. Here's your June update for the Manhattan Beach luxury home market: 22 Manhattan Beach luxury homes priced over $2,000,000 [...]
