Buying a condo or a townhouse is often a first important step to home ownership.   Condo prices in Torrance real estate and South Bay area declined more than single family homes.  This creates an opportunity for first time Torrance home buyers to buy a piece of real estate and perhaps, later in a few years, move up and purchase a single family home. Buying a condo or a townhome in Torrance is also popular with homeowners who want to downsize to a smaller property with less maintanance. Currently there are 76 condos and townhomes listed for sale in Torrance.  Prices range from $149,900 to $849,000.  Some of those condos are for 55+ seniors only.  If you're interested in living in a gated Torrance community - there is a very nice selection of beautiful, upscale condo or townhome gated com...

Everyone knows some neighborhoods are more popular than others.  They have the wow factor working for them in obvious ways such as superior schools and locations.  On the other hand, sometimes a neighborhood's popularity is judged in less tangible ways.  The hip and cool factor is more difficult to measure, but buyers pick up on it right away.    Maybe it is the Prius lined driveways, high tech baby strollers or the evolution of the 1950s ranch home into the green abodes of the 21st century that makes young home buyers say, "This is the where we want to live."  Whatever it is it is working well.   Perhaps it is simply "Popular Personality Syndrome" the it factor that makes others want to join the in crowd.  Maybe it is the sense of belonging or a good match.  Whether we can define it or...

Well, I was looking at a blog I wrote in 2008 showing times to buy prior to the Economy Collapsing and I may as well say.. Not even all the bad press is sending Buyers for my commercial property, residential fixers and Income Property away right now. I am getting offers and mulitple offers on all my listings in a variety of nieghborhoods. Mostly all cash offers and all those who were saving their cash are now starting to buy. Why, well take a look at the Calif. Association of Realtors Economic Figures and you will see why. Highlights of C.A.R.'s resale housing figures for August 2010: C.A.R.'s Unsold Inventory Index for existing, single-family detached homes in August 2010 rose to 6.1 months compared with 4.6 months in August 2009. The index indicates the number of months needed to depl...

"Fall is in the air."  Don't you feel it?  Indeed, with the cooler weather and the start of school, it feels like time for a fresh start, so I wanted to share a few ideas with you on how you might freshen up your home for this season by switching things up.   Williams Sonoma Home One spring a few years ago, I found a lovely satin comforter on sale and did something that felt very extravagant at the time.  I bought new bedding, even though I already had a nice comforter on my bed.   That was the first year I changed out my bedding for the season.  I removed my heavy "winter" comforter and replaced it with my lovely new satiny topper.  In the fall, I switched it back again.  Such a small thing, but it gave me great joy.   Although I put out a few "fall" decorations, I'm not one to go heav...

With short sales probably being the best way to find "deals" in the South Bay and Torrance, many home buyers simply don't want to put up with the delays and unknowns that go along with buying a short sale home.  Although often not priced quite as aggressively REOs or bank owned homesare possibly the next best thing as the lenders have gone through the foreclosure process, own the home outright, and are generally willing to sell for the list price, without the endless levels of beaurocracy involved.  Torrance offers an abundance of these bank owned homes with some in great condition and move in ready while others need some work but the prices are often below market value regardless. Below are the bank owned homes as of September 13th 2010. MLS# Type   Address  Price  Br/Ba Year Sq Ft Lot...
