Top 10 things to do if you live in the Hollywood Riviera - oh there are so many it's hard to think of them all. Most are so simple. Life here in the "Riv" is pretty laid back.
1) Walk your dog through the streets of the Riviera - get ready for a work out as there are a lot of hills here.
2) Walk your dog along the 'hiking trail' between the Valmonte section of Palos Verdes Estates and the upper Riviera.
3) Walk into the Riviera Village and enjoy some of the local shops & restaurants. Some of my … (4 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: Staging Homes - Big Pay Off in the Hollywood Riviera! - 11/09/09 08:08 PM
If you want a good pay-off, STAGE the property! It's so worth the extra time and money spent upfront. Basically, sellers that sell without staging - which includes everything from finishing little jobs that have gone undone (think handyman), painting (can mean adding color or subtracting color), bringing in furniture and accessories that are appropriate for the style of the house, and de-cluttering of personal items. Staging can cost some money and note that it's money well spent. Money that often brings in double what was spent if not more. Either the seller can do the work up front and reap the … (0 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: Hollywood Riviera Real Estate - Torrance vs. Redondo Beach address.... - 09/14/09 12:33 AM
Here in the Hollywood Riviera there are two addresses - although in the end it's all the same address. What does that confusing statement mean? Well, half the Riviera has a Redondo Beach address (a P.O. Box address only though) Then entire Hollywood Riviera is located in the City of Torrance (90505). There is a perception that is backed by numbers that show it's more desirable, thus more expensive typically to live on the Redondo Beach side of the Riviera. Take for example the following averages:
Currently there are 14 houses for sale on the Torrance side of the Hollywood Riviera … (0 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: What Would I Buy? - 08/30/09 08:50 PM
I often wonder when a buyer asks me what "I would buy" if given the existing inventory. I love this question and when we (my partner/sister and I) go out to broker's opens to preview new inventory...we always play this game. What was the best deal today? Best house for the least amount of money in other words. When we go to broker's opens we can see many homes in several price ranges of course. But it usually works out that one or two stand out on their own regardless of the other price ranges (meaning compared to that $2 million … (2 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: Hollywood Riviera Homeowner Spotlight - July 2009 - 08/03/09 12:57 AM
Among the trends highlighted at this year's International Builders' Show, more Americans are saying goodbye to McMansions and are buying ‘right-sized' homes instead. There's also high interest in green elements, organization, fewer luxuries and practical appliances. Outdoor spaces are not being wasted thus outdoor kitchens and entertaining areas continue to rise in popularity.
With this in mind, we've decided to introduce you to some wonderful Hollywood Riviera Remodels. The home we noticed recently is the home at 429 Via Los Miradores, owned by Mary & Raleigh Harris. When you consider today's housing trends, this home tops the list for a … (2 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: Inventory in the Hollywood Riviera - January 20, 2009 - 01/20/09 05:02 PM
What a great place to live - the Hollywood Riviera! Just south of Redondo Beach and just north of Palos Verdes Estates - we are sandwiched in between two gorgeous areas. The beaches here are magnificent (and much quieter than those in Hermosa Beach or Manhattan Beach) and must easier to get to than the cliffs of Palos Verdes Estates.
Currently there are 30 properties for sale here in the Hollywood Riviera. 4 Condos ranging in price from $529,000 to $599,000. All very close to the beach. 3 Townhouses ranging in price from $630,000 ( a great buy. It's a short sale … (0 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: Hollywood Riviera - Encouraging 4th Quarter '08 Sales Numbers! - 12/30/08 05:16 PM
We saw a nice improvement in the number of homes sold here in the Hollywood Riviera (27% more) in this last, 4th quarter of the year vs. the same quarter of 2007! Lower interest rates may have gotten many media-scared buyers to finally realize what a great buying opportunity it really is! Although for the year overall we saw 30% fewer homes sold (91 in 2007 and 64 in 2008), our average selling price was only down about 6% (attributed to more lower end sales and fewer higher end sales). The average days on market nearly doubled (66 days this … (0 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: Hollywood Riviera Real Estate Market Update - November 25, 2008 - 11/25/08 01:28 PM
Investigating the Hollywood Riviera real estate market? Here's an update for you.
As of September 1, 2008, there have been 21 homes sold. That is much higher than this time last year when 15 homes sold during that same period.

For example one on Via Monte D'Oro recently went on the market for $1,199,000 (under $1.2K seems to get a lot more attention these days) and sold in 9 days for $1,150,000. … (0 comments)

Here we are and it is October 11, 2008 - there are only 21 single family homes and 2 townhouses for sale here in our lovely Hollywood Riviera neighborhood. That is very low inventory, especially when you consider that this is the "last push" of the year (best time to sell before the holidays hit.)

hollywood riviera real estate: Good Strategy for Seller's to Remember - 08/08/08 05:54 PM
It is a tough market for sellers right now. They aren't sales people in most cases and are not used to all the rejection lately. My gosh, first of all, buyers and their agents really, call at the last minute and expect to get into a house that is perfectly staged and ready for their last minute arrival. Then the buyers quickly whiz through and leave. That makes the seller feel terrible inside. Wondering why they didn't like their house. Here's the good strategy part - for everyone involved this is a good strategy. "The seller needs to leave the house … (1 comments)

hollywood riviera real estate: Landscaping Sells Homes - 06/04/08 10:53 PM
Looking for a simple, inexpensive upgrade to give your property a selling edge?Try some lovely landscaping.It doesn't matter whether you are planning to sell this year or five years from now, beautiful landscaping will give you very high returns on your investment now and later. And, with landscaping, the value usually increases with time and a little TLC.For return on investment, landscaping rivals kitchen and bathroom remodeling, experts say, but a simple landscape upgrade can be done for much less than either of those interior upgrades.According to Realtor Magazine, a minor kitchen remodel averages about $15,000 and returns than 98 percent … (1 comments)
