Palos Verdes CA Homes Market Update – November 2016

By | November 7th, 2016|Beach Cities, Buyer Tip, Palos Verdes, Rancho Palos Verdes, Real Estate News|

Oops, it happened again.  The number of available Palos Verdes single-family homes for sale dropped below 200. The shrinking supply pushed the market toward an even stronger sellers' market. Similar market trends apply to the Beach Cities real estate market as well.  Low inventory has become our new normal. At the current rate of absorption, Palos Verdes has less than two months of available inventory and the Beach Cities has just over six weeks, yes weeks, unless new listings are added.   Palos Verdes Real Estate Market Report for Single-Family Homes: 187 Palos Verdes single family homes are for sale. 102 [...]

Palos Verdes Luxury and High-end Real Estate Report

By | August 22nd, 2016|Buyer Tip, Los Angeles Luxury Homes, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes, Rancho Palos Verdes, Real Estate News|

It's not too late to catch the wave! August is often accompanied by a slowing of the real estate market.  After all, it is the last month of summer vacation, and the back-to-school rush is upon us as well.  It is no surprise house hunting often falls lower on the priority list. However, it is not too late to catch the strong real estate market wave Palos Verdes continues to enjoy. The luxury market is defined (by me) as those homes priced at or above $3,000,000.  At the current time, properties in the luxury price range comprise nearly [...]

According to RE-Insider in an article published 8/14/14, the luxury real estate market is outpacing the rest of the California housing market by a wide margin.  "While home sales throughout much of California have remained flat throughout this spring and early summer, a new study has indicated that multimillion dollar homes are selling in record numbers, offering hope that the market is still improving and prompting many to wonder what’s holding the rest of the market back."

35 Offers? How Long Can This Last?

By | March 20th, 2013|An Agent's Life, Buyer Tip, Front Page, Income Property, Real Estate News, Seller Tip|

The rush to buy golden investment properties is on! Yes, Norma Toering & Team's most recent offer was one of 35 offers on a fourplex in Redondo Beach--one happy buyer and 34 disappointed and still searching for inventory that is simply not there. What's a buyer to do?  Expand your search area and lower your expectations a notch or two.  It's tough love advice that may be hard to heed but the reward will come later.  That smoking deal and steal you're hoping to find will most likely remain elusive as long as current market conditions prevail. The 180 [...]
