Life in the Beach Cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach has it all.....wonderful weather, great neighborhoods, proximity to the beach, award winning schools and more. Along with all of the wonderful aspects comes a lofty price tag as the demand for homes in the area, even in today's market, remains high. The most affordable area in the Beach Cities is known as North Redondo. Redondo Beach is broken into the two main areas of North and South Redondo and the dividing line is generally along 190th Street. What makes the area more affordable is the abundance of different types of housing options not found as frequently as in other nearby areas. Home options range from single family homes on oversize lots, to a multitude of townhome options, to various condominum comple... 02/28/2011

    Everybody needs to take a break from time to time, why not take a break by taking a stroll on the Redondo Beach Pier in Redondo Beach, California! The Redondo Beach Pier is a great way to unwind and just stroll along while watching and hearing the ocean waves crash into each other. The Redondo Beach Pier stretches out onto the Pacific Ocean. The Redondo Beach Pier originally started out as a group of wharves at the end of the 19th century. It was built in 1889. The unique shaped pier has been called the “Endless Pier” because of its unusual length and shape. Its official name is called the “Municipal Pier.” This really amazing pier has endured a lot throughout the centuries such as storms and redevelopment. The Redondo Beach Pier has been used for filming popular TV series and film... 02/25/2011

Yippee, loan documents arrived and were signed today!  My buyer's offer was submitted in October and maybe, just maybe we will close before March begins.  Thanks heavens for a client willing to bounce back after each delay.  We nearly fell out of escrow several times, but each time we recovered and continued on the climb to the closing summit.   The appraisal was delayed because the condo was not finished due to the developer running out of hardwood flooring.  Yep, we lost three weeks waiting for new floors and appliances to be installed.  Next, the first lender (yes, more than one was needed) objected to the wording in the CC&Rs and refused to fund until it was changed.  Forget him--that could take weeks.  We moved on to lender number two as 2011 began.   We went back to "go" and start... 02/22/2011

I've been spending more time in Redondo Beach.  It has always been one of my favorite place to eat and shop, but since I have two Redondo Beach properties currently in escrow I am spending more time in this city by the beach.  Both the Redondo Beach condo and the Hollywood Riviera propertyare set to close escrow within the next two weeks.  I have an out of state buyer interested in the Beach Cities (Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo) so I'm deepening my knowledge of the Beach Cities luxury market.   There's lots of luxury living happening in the Beach Cities and Redondo is no exception to the rule.  There's a new townhouse on the Esplanade for just over $2M.  With nearly 3,000 sq. ft. and rooftop deck the space and views are impressive.  Bike riding or hikes at the beach are within steps o... 02/21/2011

Have you noticed lately how quickly people are willing to lower their sales price, but are still not taking advantage of Home Staging.  Home staging is the latest thing to be getting properties noticed and sold before others in the same market.  The science behind home staging and the practice of home stagers that are certified by RESA and CSP (Certified Home Staging) is not just a vase here and there but much more.  It usually only costs a couple thousand, and the property usually sells before the agent comes back with a drop of $10k because the market is not selling.  All these statistics show what happens behind the scenes and what sellers are not told about.  If you are an agent, and you truly want to give your sellers an advantage, you should be using a Stager.  If you are an agent... 02/16/2011
