Palos Verdes Real Estate Snapshot for August 2018. A post shared by Norma Toering l Real Estate (@normatoering) on Aug 7, 2018 at 10:33am PDT Since I make it a habit of following real estate trends, I've been wondering who will buy the baby boomers' big houses when it's time for them to downsize.  I'm sure you've seen trending articles stating Millennials do not want the family china, antiques, and other stuff filling their parents' home. The big question is, will they want to move into the family home, or purchase one of their choosing? Perhaps smaller and closer to the urban center--time will tell. The giant boomer generation owns two out of every five homes in the United States. Let that statistic sink in for a few moments. That's 32 million homes. Here's the article I'm quoting if you would like to delve deeper. Urban living is popular with [...]

Bluff Front Luxury Living in Palos Verdes

There's a new listing in Rancho Palos Verdes that invites agents to stroll through it rather than make the mad dash we usually do at new listings. I love a pleasant garden, and when there is also a panoramic view of Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, the garden will win my full attention.  As I took in the garden vignettes, the sound and smell of the coastal location could not be ignored. Even though I had a long list of homes to preview for clients, I lingered a few moments at this property. It's the type of residence that draws you in and imprints its amenities on you as it beckons you to savor the moment and the location. If you're in the market to purchase a Palos Verdes luxury home, I know of several you should see before making a final selection.  Yesterday, I saw another exceptional luxury home [...]

Beach Cities of the South Bay of L.A. Real Estate Update 2017

By | March 6th, 2017|Beach City Luxury Homes, Charlemagne Int'l Properties, Los Angeles luxury listing agent|

I was browsing about on Zillow for a luxury home in Manhattan Beach for one of my clients. I was surprised to see Zillow is predicting a smaller than usual increase in value for the area in 2017. On the other hand, property in the Beach Cities of the South Bay of Los Angeles has enjoyed a phenomenal surge in value since the housing market recovered from the recession years of 2008-2010. I'm happy to see the market taking a breather and not advancing toward a bubble; bubbles burst. 86 Manhattan Beach luxury homes priced at or above $3,000,000 sold during 2016.  Year-to-date in 2017  as of March 6, eleven MB luxury properties have closed escrow. The year-over-year comparison shows only a slight reduction in 2017 sales. Hermosa Beach's smaller number of sales can be attributed to its smaller size both in land space and residents.  However, Hermosa still posted [...]
