south bay brokers: Fusion South Bay Impacted by Short Sales - 08/10/11 01:08 AM
Fusion South Bay, one of the few relatively newer construction complexes in the Beach Cities vicinity has been hit rather hard by a wave of short sale listings which have certainly impacted prices. As the first wave of owners primarily bought when construction was finished in 2005-2007 unfortunately this was at the very peak of market prices. Currently there are an abundance of listings with very few sales partly due to a potential litigation against the builder. While certain lenders are still doing loans in Fusion, it has slowed down sales fairly dramatically compared with the brisk sales of late 2010.

south bay brokers: Ocean View Living in Redondo Beach - Seascape I, II, and III - 09/27/09 09:02 PM
There are endless reasons that the South Bay and Redondo Beach are great places to live, and without question the proximity to the ocean is one of them. Redondo Beach offers a wider variety of options than neighboring Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach as it's zoned to allow higher density housing in some areas.....meaning larger condo complexes. Some of the most ideal complexes are located in South Redondo Beach just off of Catalina and are known as The Village or Seascapes I, II and III. All of the Seascape Buildings are also known as the Village (they're actually all on Catalina … (0 comments)

south bay brokers: And Yes....I do Windows - 03/07/09 06:03 PM
While waiting for a buyer and their agent to show up to my Plaza Del Amo listing in Torrance recently I had a bit of time to kill. This is an end unit townhome so the windows and views are a big part of what makes it different and what I'm marketing. While standing in the kitchen I noticed that the windows were very dirty from the recent rain (who says it doesn't rain in Southern California). What to do.....so I searched under the sink, found some Windex, popped the window out and made them nice an clean.

south bay brokers: Don't call for status.....if it shows active it is available (Unless it's not) - 02/03/09 04:47 PM
In this continually changing South Bay real estate market in which you just can't seem to avoid short sales and bank owned homes, I keep running across listings with the agent remarks "Please don't call for availability. If it shows active it is available." That's great and all, but it seems that more often than not I go view it with my clients, call the listing agent with a question about my clients wanting to write and offer only to be told.....it's actually in escrow. Now I realize that many of the agents that specialize in REOs and short sales have quite a … (5 comments)

south bay brokers: It Really Just Struck Me the Difference We Can Make In Peoples Lives - 02/03/09 01:55 AM
Over the weekend I was out showing homes in Torrance to a very nice young couple. They had their 18 month old daughter with them and were looking, of course, for something with a yard, room to grow and great schools nearby.
As I was sitting on my computer preparing to send some homes to them it struck me.....the homes I recommended and the advice that I gave might have a lifelong impact for their family. They, like so many others, are looking for guidance on neighborhoods and schools, streets and homes, and as I was sitting here I realized that the advice I gave them might … (2 comments)

south bay brokers: One of the many reasons I love the South Bay - 01/27/09 01:07 AM
There are so many reasons to just love living here in the South Bay. The weather, the beach, the people and the nightly show that happens just down the street. This was a picture from just another evening down my street in Hermosa Beach. Honestly.....how lucky are we to live in a place like this?

south bay brokers: My wife took my keys and now I can't get on the MLS.....oh how I hate the MRMLS token - 01/15/09 08:08 PM
I've tried to embrace it.....tried to convince myself it's for the best.....tried to believe that the MLS had my best interest in mind (ok I know that's a reach), but I just have to admit it.
I hate that SAFEMLS little token. There's just got to be a better way. I have yet to speak with anyone that actually likes the little thing. With the proliferation of the Redfins, and the Trulias, and the Zillows does it really keep our information safe? Can we not come up with another way....one that doesn't require us to continually have this little thing attached … (6 comments)

south bay brokers: Lower Priced Hollyglen/Del Aire Housing Market Really Picking Up - 01/08/09 01:08 PM
With downward pricing pressure from foreclosures and short sales, the market for lower priced homes in Del Aire is really picking up. Homes that had been sitting on the market are now going into contract. Of the 5 single family homes priced below $400,000 (which would have been unheard of a year ago) 4 have gone into escrow in the past month after some were sitting on the market for quite a while. Of the 5 homes 2 are bank owned homes, 1 is a short sale, one is a court ordered (not probate) sale and only one is traditional seller. Click … (0 comments)

south bay brokers: El Porto In North Manhattan Beach - The Most Affordable Way to Live in the Sand Section - 12/30/08 07:18 PM
While the real estate market around the country may be taking a hit, home values along the coast of the South Bay is almost as stable as ever. The "sand" section of Manhattan Beach has remained particularly strong as oceanview and oceanfront homes that are walkable to the beach are always in demand. Home prices in the sand section (see map) are reaching unbelievable highs with full lot walkstreets in the 3-6 million dollar range, depending on age, condition and view.

south bay brokers: Expiring Listing? Protect Yourself and Prepare Your Clients - 11/18/08 02:54 PM
As I've seemed to say quite often in my posts lately...it seems that desperate times call for desperate measures. I realize that there's a whole slew of agents that target and hunt expired listings but it seems that they're getting more aggressive than ever... and it's good to let your clients know what's coming.
It always good advice to contact your seller prior to the listing expiration and let them know what's about to happen. If possible it's also good to remove their contact information from the listing prior to expiration, or put in the notes that it will be re-listed etc., … (1 comments)

south bay brokers: Homesellers....Let Us In! - 11/10/08 01:53 PM
For Realtors and home sellers, there are a great many challenges in today's market. Without a doubt price is usually the greatest factor as to which homes sell.....and which don't. But it's not the only factor.
Accessibility is crucial. There is endless competition in the market and the easier you can make it for Realtors and their clients to see it, the more likely it is that it will sell.
I am always out searching for the right homes for my clients. In doing so I try to view as many homes as possible and, without question, the homes that are easiest to … (0 comments)
