The end of the year may present some true buying opportunities for the savvy buyers who have been waiting for the right moment to purchase a home on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Don't dally too long--Peninsula High School was recently named one of the top 100 high schools in the USA!   Many families move to Palos Verdes because of the outstanding educational opportunities.

 Here's my December 2007 top pick for each of the Palos Verdes Peninsula cities:

Rolling Hills:  3 Flying Mane offers ocean view and the prestigious location of our gated city, Rolling Hills.  The interior is dated, but the acre lot offers privacy and room to expand.  Offered at $2,399,000 this one level ranch has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths.

Palos Verdes Estates:  700 Mexico Place priced at $3,575,000 may not strike you as a deal, but consider this:  Remodeled in 2006 this 3000+ sq. ft. home is located on a cul-de-sac in lower Malaga Cove with a stunning Queen's Necklace and ocean view. The lot is nearly 12,000 sq. ft.  There are 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.

Rolling Hills Estates:  1 Spinning Wheel offered at $799,000 is 1665 sq. ft. and offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.  Its location offers privacy and easy freeway access.  Yes, the condition is original and the house is small, but the 13,230 sq. ft.lot offers room for expansion.  I expect there will be multiple offers on this one based on price alone.

Rancho Palos Verdes:  32332 Phantom Drive overlooks Trump National Golf Course and the Pacific Ocean.  This remodeled 1922 sq. ft 3 bedroom home offers privacy, great neighborhood and stylish one-level living. Priced at $1,279,000.
