It was an absolute pleasure working with this seller. This was the home she grew up in and eventually inherited. Unfortunately, she inherited some bad tenants along with it. She wanted and needed out, with as little hassle as possible.   CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS Staging by www.MovingMountainsDesign.com

As a short sale specialist I have tracked the short sale market for years and as Torrance is the largest city in the South Bay, it has been a very good indicator of how much of a factor short sales and bank owned homes have been on the local market. Short sales first became a factor in mid 2007 with a high point in 2010. In August of 2010 there were 159 active short sale homes for sale in Torrance. Those numbers started to decline in April of 2011 and have continued downward to the current level which has seen an average of 4 homes for sale for the past few months. What was a source of the "deals" sought by buyers is no longer putting downward pressure on the market and has basically ceased to be a factor.

As a short sale listing expert, I've tracked the number of foreclosures, meaning both short sales and bank owned homes (REOs) in the South Bay for the past few years. It wasn't long ago that each month there would be consistently over 100 short sale homes listed in Torrance alone. That certainly isn't the case any longer. As of April 10th 2013 only 29 short sales were on the market in the cities of Lawndale, Gardena, Manhattan Beach, Redondo, Hermosa, Palos Verdes, El Segundo, San Pedro and Torrance combined. The chart above shows the number of active short sale listings, pending escrows and sold homes for each month in the cities mentioned above. The light green bar shows the active listings, dark green shows sold homes with the red line showing the pending or "in escrow" homes.

My family has had desert tortoises as pets for many years.  They were given to us as “rescue” tortoises and we have learned so much about them – i.e. what to feed them, how to care for them when they had a cold, how to keep them safe from raccoons, etc.  Sprout, pictured above, is 26 years old, loves to be pet on his head and is partial to cooked zucchini. On Saturday, October 13, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.,  Madrona Marsh Nature Center will be having an event with representatives from the California Turtle and Tortoise Society.  This special Turtle and Tortoise Day will have live turtles with a “hands-on” event, where you can become familiar with their shells and learn about the different breeds and type of tortoises.  In addition to the turtles/tortoises on display, there wil...

West Torrance has always been a highly sought after neighborhood due to great schools, charming tree lined neighborhoods, and affordable prices compared with neighboring Redondo Beach.  While the South Bay real estate market in general has been very active since the beginning of the year, the real estate market in West Torrance is extremely active but inventory is on the rise which may temper price rises just a bit.
